Leading automotive and engineering distributor Fyfes Vehicle and Engineering Supplies has recently been awarded the contract to supply bespoke equipment to North West Regional College (NWRC) to service their Springtown and Greystone sites.

Offering a range of vehicle components, tools, consumables and engineering supplies, Northern Ireland’s largest motor factor has steadily grown its team of specialists for both tools and welding, relied on by high-profile customers in the area such as NWRC for its wealth of industry experience and technical expertise.

In Springtown campus, Fyfes supplied the latest CNC alloy refurbishment machine, along with the PowerTec Miracle body repair system, the latest spot welder for boron metals, and a plastic welder for different bumper plastics.

For the Limavady campus Fyfes provided a range of the latest vehicle diagnostics systems, including pass-thru machines. Also delivered was a 3-D wheel alignment machine, Hubscan Dynometer, and the ADAS car camera system.

On today’s modern vehicle anyone carrying out the latest repairs which have sensors on bumpers, doors, tailgates, etc will need to invest in or utilise someone who has an ADAS camera system to set up sensors again, or they will fail to reach the required regulations.

Fyfes also organised, in both campuses, comprehensive training packages provided by technical support teams from each of the contract suppliers. In addition, Fyfes supported the Greystone campus with a technical evening, with the contract suppliers’ main technical personnel on hand to demonstrate and answer any questions arising from the equipment.

Local garages were also in attendance to familiarise themselves with an ever-changing automotive environment.

Tony Fyfe, Managing Director, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting the next generation of technicians and aftermarket professionals through supplying our equipment and technical expertise to NWRC.

“Throughout this process Fyfes, yet again, demonstrated their ability in supplying products tailored to suit their customers’ specific requirements.”

Trading in Ballymena for over 100 years, Fyfes Vehicle and Engineering Supplies Ireland now boasts 15 branches in Northern Ireland along with a depot in Drogheda operated by sister company Fyfes Car Parts Ireland.

On 3rd August we finally opened our seventeenth Fyfes Branch, located in Coleraine – allowing us to stock our ever growing range of car parts and engineering supplies, improving levels of service, range and availability for all our customers in the Coleraine area.

Covid-19 unfortunately delayed the opening of this branch which was due to take place earlier in April of this year with Fyfes service levels returning to what they were before covid-19, now seemed to be the right time.

The Fyfes brand has went from strength to strength since the first shop opened in 1915 – back then only selling shoes. Now the Fyfes brand proudly boasts 16 branches in Northern Ireland (Fyfes Vehicle & Engineering Supplies) and 1 in the Republic of Ireland (Fyfes Car Parts Ireland), along with just under 200employees and nearly 100 vehicles on the road. With a customer-focused business approach, products and ranges in stock are regularly reviewed to ensure Fyfes have got everything the market needs - we continue to bring Fyfes CLOSER TO YOU!

The Fyfes fleet is already a common sight on the roads around Coleraine and beyond. The branch holds extensive stock and is backed up with numerous daily deliveries from the Head Office in Ballymena; Fyfes Coleraine has everything you require.

By employing local staff with extensive experience in the local area, Fyfes Coleraine will revive the local market offering a better service for our local customers.

Fyfes continues to provide customers with a first-class service, allowing us to remain Northern Ireland’s largest motor factor. We hope our success will continue for years to come.
