Motaquip ready to cater motor factors this winter
As workshops and motor factors switch from summer consumables to winter essentials, Motaquip is stepping up with refreshed products, seasonal promotions and trusted trade support – ensuring customers are ready for the colder months ahead.
Established by PSA Group and carrying a legacy spanning four decades, Motaquip is a name synonymous with the automotive sector.
Since falling under the Comline Group umbrella, the brand has continued to grow its network of distributors both domestically and internationally. It is supported by a modern, automated storage and picking system, and its catalogue is regularly updated – comprising a product portfolio that spans 10 categories, including oils, lubricants and consumables.
And it is these products, in particular, that are making headlines as autumn takes hold and winter is around the corner. Motaquip has introduced refreshed branding, provided advice about classic car winter storage and announced a bulb promotion.
Fresh look for a workshop essential
Motaquip has just taken delivery of a fresh batch of Brake Lubricant ‘Copperslip’ – in new branding too. A staple of every workshop, this copper-based brake lubricant is designed to withstand temperatures up to 1,100°C, preventing pads from seizing in the caliper and helping eliminate brake squeal – small details that make a big difference to braking performance and component longevity, Motaquip believes.
The formulation avoids excessive dispersant additives, making it suitable for both automotive and industrial applications. The new packaging also displays the relevant hazard information, a timely reminder that even the most familiar workshop products need to be handled carefully.
Preparing classic for winter hibernation
As the nights draw in, many classic car owners are preparing to tuck their vintage models away for the winter months. For those workshops that look after classics, servicing with Motaquip’s VOL200 20W-50 Classic Motor Oil before storage is a smart preventative measure.
This low-detergent, mineral-based oil is formulated for older petrol and diesel engines, providing “excellent” film strength and corrosion protection. Its thicker viscosity gives a stable lubricating layer that remains effective even when the engine sits idle for months – ensuring it will be ready to fire up smoothly when spring returns.
It’s not a new addition to the range, but Motaquip believes it demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting specialist areas of the trade that depend on consistency and reliable performance.
Lighting the way this winter
Motaquip is also shining a light on its premium bulb range this season with a special trade promotion. Factors that purchase qualifying volumes of LVEB499 H7 bulbs will receive an additional VBU100 unit free of charge, while stocks last.
Carrying E1 certification from Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority, Motaquip bulbs are designed and built to meet OE standards. Each bulb features stainless steel caps and shatterresistant glass, helping to deliver reliable, high-performance illumination even in demanding weather conditions.
The E1 mark confirms that Motaquip bulbs have been type-approved under European ECE regulations. This shows compliance with strict safety and performance requirements for automotive lighting. This certification indicates a high standard of quality and reliability within the European aftermarket. The promotion runs until 31 January 2026.
