As you already know, we do not like to sit still as a company. Here are a few new videos we have added to our TPMS ZONE and of course our eLearning courses as well.
The first of the videos shows how to service one of our snap in sensors. These sensors are ideal replacements for vehicles originally equipped with snap in sensors such as Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. They are also idea for winter wheel sets as the rubber stems in general are not prone to severe corrosion like their metal high speed clamp in counterparts.
The second video shows how easy it is to service a snap in i-sensor.
The third video shows how to use our optional i-Sensor OBD attachment to relearn IDs.
We wish our TPMS installer partners as much success and coalface confidence as possible. If you have more videos you would like us to shoot, just let us know on 0208 838 0910 selecting option 4 and we will look into it for you.
This year we competed in 2 championships ANEMMC (Association North East Midlands Motor Club) and EMAMC (East Midland Association Motor Club).
55 competitors entered the ANEMMC in 2017 where the best scoring 7 rounds counted towards the championship. I am pleased to announce that after completing 7 rounds we finished 3rd overall and the highest class 5 finisher. The last round of the championship was held at Blyton Park and ran into darkness for the first and only time this season. We entered the event lying 4th overall in the championship knowing that if we managed to complete all 10 stages strongly we could elevate our position to 3rd overall. After an icy cautious start we made our way through the day and into the night stages where we needed to mount the light bars for the first time to the bonnet. Some competitors struggled in the darkness but we seemed to be able to capitalise in these conditions passing 2 cars in stage and finishing 14th overall from 77 entries.
This last round at Blyton was also part of the EMAMC championship where 54 competitors competed for the seasons awards. Scoring on all 7 events entered during 2017 ended with a great end of year result finishing 2nd overall.
We started the year in a GC8 Subaru Impreza but for the last 2 rounds we decided to invest in a newer N12B Subaru Impreza. This is the car we will be competing with in 2018 where we look forward to Autogem’s continued support.

Autogem’s managing director and NTDA chairman spoke at the Automechanika Birmingham 2017. Last year he talked “TPMS and sharks”, this year the focus was more on improving the revenue streams for the workshops and a brief talk about learner drivers?!
Drawing from his experience of dealing with a wide range of tyre retailers, autocentres and vehicle manufacturers in the UK, he shared his tips and tricks for a shortcut to the 10,000 hour mastery theory.
We hope you enjoy this fun, relaxed and informative presentation and should you need any help introducing TPMS or tyre diagnostic hardware into your business, do give our experienced sales team a call on +44 208 838 0910 selecting option 1.
