PMF introduces Auto Air Gloucester and breaks down what makes the company stand out from the crowd.
Auto Air Gloucester was established in 2002 with the sole intention of sourcing and selling quality vehicle air conditioning parts to motor factors and air conditioning and radiator specialists. The company claims to be the UK’s biggest independent supplier of A/C parts, tooling and consumables.
Support
As an importer, Auto Air Gloucester’s parts can only be purchased through its approved distribution network. Regarding itself as a one stop shop for all air conditioning requirements, the company offers next-day UK delivery on the majority of its stock. On top of this, all returns and warranties are dealt with by its in-house inspection team and are responded to within 48 hours of receiving, avoiding unnecessary delays.
With an ISO9001:2015 accreditation, Auto Air Gloucester insists that it can ensure quality products and that a high standard of service is met at all times. This service is exemplified by the company’s dedicated technical support line, with calls answered by its qualified specialists who will assist with any fitting or part queries. The team is said to be friendly, knowledgeable and reliable, allowing the company to provide its customers with a type of personal service that it claims one can only receive from Auto Air Gloucester.
Products
With key relationships with manufacturers from all over the world, Auto Air Gloucester is able to ensure that it can source the best quality products at the right price. These relationships allow the company to be at the cutting edge for new product development so that the latest models are catered for. The speed of new product availability means that it can sometimes obtain access to new products before its competitors.
With extensive references in the company’s catalogue, it covers a large proportion of the UK car parc. In addition, by offering low warranty rates of 0.9% for compressors and 0.46% for condensers, it assures the quality of the parts.
Claiming to hold the most comprehensive range of compressors in the UK, Auto Air Gloucester is an approved distributor of Sanden compressors, which allows it to readily supply the latest OEM units. All Auto Air compressors have passed extensive durability and performance tests, and include an installation guide to aid with correct fitment.
These condensers are zinc coated, ensuring resilience within the climate of the Northern Hemisphere and against the corrosive salt used throughout the winter months on UK roads. A further quality check is carried out before the part is repacked ready for dispatch.
Auto Air also offers a full range of A/C components, including blower motors, resisters, cooling fans, expansion valves, pressure switches, accumulators and receiver driers.
Consumables and tooling
With regards to these product groups, Auto Air Gloucester is the UK’s distributor for Elke products, and therefore has a large stock holding of pag oils, dyes, hoses, fittings, tooling and diagnostic equipment.
Shipping
The company offers free UK next-day delivery on all orders over £50 with a choice of preferred carrier. In terms of delivery slots, it is able to provide pre- 10.30am, pre-12pm and Saturday morning deliveries at an additional cost.
Auto Air Gloucester claims that it is committed to providing a first-class service every time a factor calls, delivering peace of mind and aiming to exceed expectations. Its mantra is to supply a quality product right the first time round.
