Giallo Cars, a Maserati specialist in Tonbridge, Kent, has found a solution to the rising cost of original equipment (OE) brake components by switching to Delphi aftermarket parts.
Servicing up to 15 vehicles a week, Giallo Cars caters to a loyal clientele across the South-East and beyond. Managing Director, Mathew Sage, explained that the increasing cost of OE parts, particularly brake components, was becoming a challenge, even for his well-heeled customers.
Sage, concerned about the availability of suitable alternatives for such a niche marque, contacted his local GSF Car Parts branch. GSF recommended Delphi, a leading Tier-1 OE manufacturer whose brake components meet the same standards as OE parts and crucially, also cover Maserati models.
The switch to Delphi brakes has been a success. Sage reports that his customers are pleased with the quality and the more affordable price. The local GSF Car Parts branch stocks the Delphi parts, ensuring quick and easy access for Giallo Cars.
“Delphi’s braking coverage is extensive,” said Alan Bodfish, UK Sales Manager at Delphi. “We cover most mainstream makes, but we also make sure that parts are available for vehicles from much smaller manufacturers. We are delighted when we can help specialist garages such as Giallo Cars, who are making sure that Maserati owners have a choice when it comes to servicing and repairs.
“We are working closely with Mathew and the team, as well as their local GSF Car Parts branch to identify other areas where Delphi could offer a more cost-effective solution.”
Giallo Cars is now considering expanding its use of Delphi parts to include steering and suspension components. Sage concluded that the partnership with Delphi and GSF Car Parts has enabled his business to provide the necessary parts at competitive prices.
