PartsInMotion.co.uk has revealed that batteries, springs and wiper blades have become the most popular searched and ordered products for the start of 2021.
With Lockdown three meaning vehicles were left unused for a prolonged period of time, sales of batteries have risen sharply.
In 2020, Partsinmotion.co.uk boosted its range of batteries by supplying Bosch and VARTA brands in response to growing consumer demand.
The winter weather has also played its part and the emergence of more potholes on UK roads has reportedly contributed to rising sales of coil springs. Just recently, the government allocated £500million from its £2.5billion potholes fund to local government to fix potholes.
PartsinMotion.co.uk offers a choice of spring and suspension products to independent garages from brands such as febi, First Line and KYB.
Meanwhile, Bosch wiper blades, available from the factor, have been a consistently top performer for the business following a wet autumn and tough winter period.
Matt Gates, Director of PartsinMotion.co.uk, explained: “I think we’re in line with other businesses when we see Batteries, coil springs and wiper blades being top selling products. Most importantly, availability has been key for these ranges and we’ve worked closely with suppliers to ensure we’ve been able to meet demand.”
