Schaeffler and BILSTEIN have offered joint technical training on chassis systems for several years, extending this partnership by collaborating on the REPXPERT garage portal in June 2021.

After completing the pilot phase, the cooperative pages were fully launched in early 2022. Since then, the range of content has been continuously developed to now include product information, fitting hints and tips, practical advice and vehicle-specific installation instructions. Examples include advice on calibrating advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) after suspension work, explaining how to adjust the groove on the shock absorber, and how to diagnose and eliminate annoying suspension noises. 

"Garages today are dealing with increasingly complex servicing and repairs, so there is a great need for well-prepared information and practical tips. We are therefore delighted to offer, in partnership with BILSTEIN, a solution to provide this content to workshops throughout Europe," says Sven Olev Müller, Head of Schaeffler REPXPERT.

Rainer Popiol, Head of the BILSTEIN Academy added, "So far, our content on shock absorbers, springs and so on has been very well received, and this success has led BILSTEIN to provide its knowledge on all aspects of the chassis system via REPXPERT". 

Saša Jelić, Head of Product Management and Technical Service Europe at Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket, commented, “Schaeffler and BILSTEIN are renowned original equipment manufacturers that also stand for the highest quality products and service in the aftermarket. Our combined expertise has been very well received by garages in technical training sessions and on the REPXPERT portal, which is now being extended throughout Europe."
