LKQ Euro Car Parts has launched TechClub, a members club for technicians in the UK & Ireland, enabling individuals to buy tools and training directly from the aftermarket supplier, while taking advantage of special offers and benefits.
Members of the free service can set up their own dedicated profile on LKQ’s Omnipart platform, allowing them the flexibility to purchase products themselves, instead of through their employer’s accounts.
Users can track their order history and warranties online, allowing them to build a detailed picture of their individual purchasing habits and preferences. Individual TechClub accounts are not workshop-specific, meaning technicians can maintain the same profile and data when working in different garages.
Customers purchasing via TechClub can pay via cash or card, with flexible payment options and PayPal functionalities set to be integrated in the coming months.
Alongside this, TechClub members can benefit from access to exclusive offers and added value promotions including extended warranty options, free tools and bundle deals.
Members also have the chance to enter LKQ Euro Car Parts’ annual Karting Tournament, with 4,000 spaces up for grabs and the first races starting in April.
Matt Robinson, B2B Trading Director at LKQ Euro Car Parts, said: “The technicians of today are the garage owners of tomorrow, so it’s important that individuals can seamlessly access the tools, parts and services they need to develop their skills and service offering.
“Flexibility is also key, and allowing technicians the chance to develop their own purchasing habits and product portfolio will go a long way towards encouraging professional development.
“TechClub is an important step forward for us as we seek to continue acting as a supportive partner to the independent aftermarket throughout its ongoing evolution. We’re already receiving great feedback from our customers across the industry.”
