One of the key features on the Nissens stand at the Mechnaex show, was its range of aftermarket turbo chargers, which are now gaining favour with an increasing number of Independent garages.

Especially in Ireland, the replacement turbo sector offers huge potential, as the original units often fail due to poor maintenance regimes or the wrong oil choice. However, many garages have traditionally been reluctant to take on this business, perhaps because of the often high cost of replacement turbos from the vehicle manufacturer, or quality and warranty issues with reconditioned units.

Nissens has taken a fresh approach to the issue by offer a competitive range of high quality aftermarket turbos through trusted parts suppliers across Ireland. Duncan Rainbird of Nissens comments, “The Nissens range offers the perfect solution to the independent garage in this important and growing sector. These are brand new turbos meaning there are no issues with surcharges, or handling fees and no return of old units. They are also an easy fit solution with all parts required for the job, such as gaskets seals, supplied in the box along with a quality turbo that will match OE performance in terms of power, fuel economy and emissions.”

Nissens has a reputation for quality in other parts sectors such as climate control and engine cooling and the same rigours development and testing standards have been applied to the turbo range. As Duncan points out this means a technician can fit a Nissens turbo with complete confidence and no warranty concerns. He comments, “Our turbos make perfect sense for any independent garage wanting to do a quality turbo replacement job. Our brand new turbos are competitively priced, are available from local parts suppliers and really deliver in terms of performance and durability.”
