At Autowave headquarters, CEO Ravi Kotecha (pictured) has presented and recorded three new episodes. These focus on the OBDStar P50 airbag crash data tool, OBDStar key master G3 key programming tool and OBDStar DC706 module cloning tool. Kotecha said: “Our videos bring real hands-on guidance, showing exactly how these tools work.” Birmingham-based automotive remanufacturer Shaftec Automotive has increased its new-to-range with four brake calipers joining the collection. The new calipers cover vehicles such as the Volkswagen Golf VIII (2020 onwards) and the Audi A3 Sportback (2019 onwards).
