Products focus 27 www.aftermarketonline.net SEPTEMBER 2024 Dynamo AI speaking up for mechanics Magnetic Labs has announced the launch of Dynamo AI — which the company said is the first audio mechanics assistant poised to help garages save time and boost efficiency. The garage management software firm said mechanics can simply ask Dynamo AI for information on a range of subjects such as availability of parts and the type of product required — receiving realtime answers via a Bluetooth earpiece. Dynamo is particularly beneficial for busy garages dealing with diverse vehicle types, Magnetic said. The system also offers features that streamline garage management, including invoice preparation and customer messaging, notifications for job completion and additional work approvals. Company co-founder Mike Duggan told Aftermarket the firm is in talks with a number of leading UK garage groups to roll out Dynamo and the garage management app WERK8.

The MAGFLEX1000 is an LED strip light that can be manipulated into all kinds of shapes, making it incredibly versatile for use. It also comes with a stretchable strap with fixing hooks at either end that twist 1800, allowing the lamp to span a wide area, such as under the bonnet, between vehicle doors when doing interior work, across the underside of the car or mounted to the ramp as a site light. There are four light settings, which changes how long it can be used before needing a charge. On the highest light output, which is 1,000 lumens, it will last for three hours. Nissens Automotive has unveiled a 77-part number all-new throttle body range, further expanding its engine efficiency and emissions programme and catering for 280 OE references. The range has been designed, developed, manufactured and tested to Nissens’ genuine quality standard and comes as a ‘first fit’ product, with the necessary seals and gaskets included to ensure an easy and secure installation. This in turn provides the independent service and repair sector with a complete aftermarket solution.
