KYB, a leading supplier of shock absorbers, coil springs and suspension mounting kits, has further enhanced its training and technical information for garage customers. The company has made a series of technical videos available on YouTube to provide assistance for technicians replacing shock absorbers on a variety of vehicles and says it plans to expand the coverage over the coming weeks.

The YouTube channel can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/KYBEurope   It gives advice on working on vehicles including the Audi A4, Peugeot 407, Renault Laguna and Mercedes A Class and also features videos showing the suspension set up inside a vehicle and film of vehicle track testing.

KYB Customer Service Manager, Sue Clough, says, "We have introduced a number of videos on the YouTube site to help technicians working on some cars where fitment may prove more challenging and we will be adding to these over the coming months."

KYB also offers a training programme for technicians that advises them on what to look for when checking for worn shock absorbers and springs on a car. Sue Clough says, "Our training programme help garages to look for physical signs of wear on shocks and springs, as well as the symptoms they would feel driving a vehicle. Training sessions are normally held at an individual garage customer's premises or given to a group of garages at a central location." She adds, "In addition we supply visual aids including leaflets and point-of-sale material which garages can use to explain to motorists the importance of checking shocks and springs as they are safety critical components. Their replacement also represents a great sales opportunity for our independent garage customers."
