Brake specialist TMD Friction, has enhanced its brake parts look-up service for garages and factors with the introduction of Brakebook, an online and app-based portal, which enables users to search for brake products quickly and easily.

The new and improved system now includes a vehicle registration look up for both Republic of Ireland and UK registered vehicles, found underneath the vehicle application tab, which allows factors and mechanics to identify brake parts using a vehicle’s registration number.

The new system also includes product catalogue downloads in PDF format, complete with detailed drawings. The portal can also be accessed worldwide in 15 languages.

In addition, details surrounding new to range items have been enhanced, with updates on parts being made automatically, along with the option to view new items across a chosen timeframe. An expert search facility has also been incorporated allowing users to search by size of component.

A final improvement comes in the form of a brake pad scanner, allowing users to find the exact part number they need by simply scanning a brake pad via the app. This feature is currently available for Textar only.

Brakebook is available for all TMD Friction brands including Textar, Mintex and DON across Apple and Android. Brakebook can also be accessed at www.brakebook.com.
