Serfac strengthens Japanese and Asian vehicle parts offering
The growing diversity of the Irish vehicle parc is creating new opportunities for the independent aftermarket, with Japanese & Asian manufacturers representing an increasingly important share of vehicles on Irish roads.
Serfac Limited is supporting motor factors with an extensive Asian vehicle parts programme, bringing together leading brands including Blue Print, Denso, GSP and Japanparts.
Covering a wide variety of passenger car and light commercial vehicle applications, the Serfac portfolio provides access to quality replacement components across multiple product categories – backed by comprehensive cataloguing, extensive stockholding and Serfac’s nationwide distribution service.
Blue Print – Right First Time
Blue Print has established a particularly strong reputation as a specialist in replacement parts for Asian vehicle applications. Its extensive programme covers more than 160 product types and over 27,000 references, providing motor factors with an exceptionally broad range from a single brand.
At the heart of the Blue Print philosophy is “Right First Time” – a commitment to ensuring accurate identification, correct fitment and dependable product quality. Its Blue Print LIVE! online catalogue provides continually updated application and fitment information, helping factors and workshops identify the correct component quickly and accurately.
Products are manufactured to matching OE standards and supported by an unlimited-mileage three-year manufacturer guarantee, providing additional reassurance throughout the supply chain.
GSP – Expanding Driveline Coverage
Serfac has continued to develop its GSP programme, with expanded coverage across key driveline categories including drive shafts, CV joints and wheel bearings.
With decades of manufacturing experience and products supplied to markets around the world, GSP has developed a strong reputation within the global automotive aftermarket. Continued investment in manufacturing, product development and catalogue data enables the company to respond quickly to changing vehicle parc requirements. The brand has also proved a strong addition to the Serfac portfolio.
“GSP has been a strong performer in our range since launch,” said Liam O’Donohoe of Serfac. “Its quality, extensive coverage and strong availability give our customers a very competitive offering across important driveline categories.”
Denso – OE Technology for the Aftermarket
Few brands demonstrate the importance of Japanese engineering expertise quite like Denso. One of the world’s leading OE automotive technology suppliers, Denso develops and manufactures systems and components for vehicle manufacturers globally. This extensive original equipment expertise is carried directly into its aftermarket programme.
The Denso range available through Serfac encompasses numerous key categories including engine cooling, air conditioning, spark plugs, glow plugs, wiper blades, lambda sensors, diesel components, starters and alternators. For workshops, this OE pedigree provides confidence that replacement components are supported by extensive engineering, manufacturing and vehicle-system expertise.
Japanparts – Extensive Japanese & Asian vehicle coverage
A longstanding Serfac partner, Japanparts adds further depth to the company’s Asian vehicle programme with extensive coverage across both mechanical and electrical components. The range includes filters, braking and hydraulic components, shock absorbers, clutches, starters, alternators and ignition components, providing workshops with access to replacement parts across multiple areas of the vehicle.
Strong TecDoc catalogue integration makes component identification straightforward, while efficient supply and distribution help Serfac respond rapidly as new applications enter the Irish aftermarket.
One Source for Asian Applications
The increasing presence and diversity of Asian vehicles on Irish roads means accurate identification, broad coverage and dependable parts availability are becoming increasingly important for motor factors. Serfac provides customers with access to thousands of references covering a broad range of Asian passenger car and light commercial vehicle applications.
From engine management and ignition to filtration, braking, cooling, driveline, suspension and electrical components, the breadth of the portfolio allows factors to source more of their Asian vehicle requirements through one established Irish distributor and capitalise on the growing Asian vehicle opportunity.
