Diagnostic and garage equipment supplier V-Tech UK has appointed Andy Savva as a brand ambassador, to help drive the group’s growth in 2024.
Savva is one of the aftermarket’s most renowned trainers and experts, coaching hundreds of business owners in his role as The Garage Inspector. With his experience, Savva understands just how important the role of an equipment supplier is to workshops.
His association with V-Tech UK and its brands will mark the start of a period of consolidation for the group, as it brings together its five business entities to create a full service and equipment offering to independent garage workshops, bodyshops and tyre shops throughout the UK.
Benefits for V-Tech UK
Chris Coyle, chief operating officer at V-Tech UK said: “I have known Andy for over 20 years and watched him help hundreds of garages navigate the decisions involved in running a successful workshop business.
“He operates with the utmost integrity and is passionate about finding out what a garage business really needs. He would never recommend a product or service that’s not the best fit for them.
“There is a huge amount of synergy and trust between Andy and V-Tech UK. This is highlighted by the fact we’re the first garage equipment supplier he’s ever worked with in this way.
“He has a large network, and whilst that will undoubtedly benefit V-Tech, it works both ways.
“We focus on long-term relationships and ultimately helping customers to realise a return on investment, whatever garage equipment they buy from us.
“That is why this is not just any ambassador deal. We are making it customer centric. This means, in certain cases, we’ll pay for customers to attend one of The Garage Inspector courses to help expand their skill set and maximise the long-term use of their garage equipment.
“This genuine desire to make workshop businesses stronger, not only means better a return on investment, it facilitates a healthy business with solid growth potential. That’s good news for the workshop owner, us, and the aftermarket.”
Easy decision
Savva added: “It was not a hard decision to work with V-Tech UK, but it was not one I took lightly either.
“I have engaged with lots of garage equipment suppliers over the years and they often let my garage folk down on everything from delivery dates to poor customer service. That will not happen here.
“And I am certainly not representing V-Tech to sell their products. Good products sell themselves. I am here because I know they excel at service – and that is what really matters to the customer.”
