Still check tyres
TyreSafe is reminding drivers not to rely solely on tyre
pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) to ensure their tyre
safety. While this valued technology has been proven
to improve road safety by advising of a change in tyre
pressure, drivers need to check their TPMS is working and
be aware that it does not warn drivers of the condition of
their tyres nor the amount of tread depth.
As a well as a quality
product portfolio, the company’s
customer service is
headed by its technical support.
Because of continued
technology evolutions, accurate
diagnosis is becoming
tougher for technicians. To
assist them, Autoelectro is
proving its pedigree by delivering
technical bulletins,
full of handy ‘tech tips’ and
vehicle-specific information.
To boost technicians’
confidence and avoid unnecessary
warranty claims
submitted due to fitting issues,
Autoelectro encourages
them to sign-up as soon
as possible. The company’s
team of experts are also
contactable 24-hours-a-day
via its online chat facility,

The technical hotline is
also accessible by calling

of Autoelectro’s trained experts
will be on-hand to answer
enquiries.
