Brands at TPS partners with six major automotive brands
TPS is partnering with major third party brands to launch Brands at TPS, expanding its parts offering to its largest ever product range.
In the initial phase, Brands at TPS will introduce parts from six well-known aftermarket brands, including Bosch, ZF, Mahle, SKF, Hella, and Valeo.
This will add around 2,000 third-party parts available from its 83 UK centres, with plans to increase this to over 10,000 as Brands at TPS secures further partnerships.
With data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) showing the average age of a car on UK roads is now 9.5 years old, the Brands at TPS expansion will focus on parts for older vehicles.
Third-party brands
Catherine Baker, Head of TPS, said: “We are proud to launch Brands at TPS and in doing so boost our parts offering to our customers. We’ve always been genuine first and that doesn’t change. We remain dedicated to genuine as our primary offer, but we can now offer a one-stop-shop for our mechanical customers’ needs, including a wide-ranging selection of third-party branded parts.
“So, whether it’s genuine parts for a five-year-old car or reliable, affordable parts for a 10-year-old one, we aim to become the trusted one-stop-shop for keeping vehicles on the road – quickly, efficiently, and with unmatched expertise.”
She continued: “This new development means a wider range delivered through our existing network and helps to make TPS the parts supplier the aftermarket trade can trust for pretty much everything they require.”
Brands at TPS will also be supported by the technical knowledge and advice of TPS teams across its network, with up to five deliveries a day during the week.
