From Russia with Comline Comline were flying the flag in Moscow in August, when they appeared at MIMS Automechanika Russia, the country’s largest automotive expo. Exhibiting alongside distribution partner Monlibon from 26- 29 August, the brand demonstrated its expansive product range. "The Russian market holds masses of potential for the Comline brand," said Harvinder Handa, Comline Export General Manager. "In conjunction with our partners at Monlibon, we are aggressively pursuing growth in this region, and it is therefore vital that our exhibits go hand-in-hand at this important expo. "Our showcase has been designed to portray the calibre of our products and provided visitors with an opportunity to 'touch and feel' the quality of the materials used throughout the range." JLM Academy with DPF Doctor at helm The JLM Academy has officially opened its doors. The brainchild of Darren Darling, founder of The DPF Doctor Network, the new Academy is fielding a top-drawer roster of industry trainers, including Darren and Andy Savva, a.k.a The Garage Inspector. Darren said: “The JLM Academy is the realisation of a long-held ambition. As the brand ambassador for JLM Lubricants I took my initial thoughts to JLM Lubricants founder Gilbert Groot. He responded with such enthusiasm that within a few months here we are, ready to deliver! The Academy is just 20 minutes from Newcastle Airport making it an easy- to- reach destination for countries in and beyond Europe. The brand-new state of the art facility offers a clean, comfortable environment where we can deliver world class automotive training for up to 12 people at a time. It’s kitted out with diagnostic equipment, workshop data, specialist testing tools and two training vehicles. We have the technical knowhow to deliver top notch training on different automotive subjects. The team of trainers include Callum Lee from The DPF Doctor, Steve Scott from Simply Diagnostics, and David Massey from Autoinform.” Courses on offer include DPF diagnostics, diesel fault finding, grass roots electrical testing, oscilloscope training and Adblue troubleshooting. Available too is a range of courses on JLM product training including the JLM DPF suite of products. Training kicks off with an intensely practical two-day training course delivered by Darren and Callum on Tuesday 10 September and Wednesday 11 September. It covers the JLM product range with a special focus on fault finding, DPF problems and DPF cleaning. The JLM Diesel Extreme Intake Cleaning Toolkit will be demonstrated with attendees encouraged to participate and get their hands dirty. The first nine attendees to confirm attendance are JLM distributors. They include Brett Lloyd, Managing Director of GCG Turbochargers Australia. Brett has booked two places. In addition to a generous goodie bag and a certificate, attendees at all training courses will receive a detailed course workbook. Darren observed: “This training course covers the most popular JLM workshop products. We will put them into action using our test vehicles. Attendance at these workshops will be open to all JLM distributors, their motor factor stockists and mechanics subject to places of course. We’ll be offering exclusive DPF Doctor Network Training at the Academy too. If you’re a DPF Doctor you can attend. If you’re not, you can’t!” Commenting on the launch of The JLM Academy, Gilbert Groot said: “I am delighted we’re working with Darren to deliver training to such a high standard. Undoubtedly this will help our distributors to carry the JLM message to their customer base and beyond with even more passion and focus. Superb quality, detailed and practical training. Delivered by a top-flight team of industry respected trainers sharing their expertise and know how in a purpose built training environment.” SEPTEMBER 2019 AFTERMARKET 5 www.aftermarketonline.net a unique and pr Discov oactive idens: er e-V and Enhance w vehicle i performance oductivity orkshop pr nspection tool d id k www. ensoev ens.co.u
