Oils, lubes & additives 38 www.aftermarketonline.net SEPTEMBER 2025 With the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency reporting that MOT failures are increasingly being attributed to poor maintenance — not a coincidence with motorists reluctant to service their vehicles — now is the time for technicians to deliver a robust message. Cutting costs and corners add up to big bills later and even vehicle replacement. It’s time to return to the workshop — and regularly. “Technicians must stand firm when it comes to their prices. They’re already absorbing some of the increased costs of materials, energy and labour,” said JLM UK managing director Mike Schlup. “They must add value to their service offering, with top tier additives. For example, upselling maintenance and cure additives to customers after their vehicle has been serviced or repaired. “If they can explain the benefits, not just in improving efficiency but in keeping the customer’s car in good health, on the road for longer, they can build a healthy and growing income stream.” JLM Lubricants is a global brand with a reputation for supplying premium additives that have been tested by technicians before launch, Schlup said. “They contain the highest concentration of active ingredients, a crucial point proven in many different tests. If a JLM additive can take the place of a repair or a part and reduce workshop bills, everyone wins.” Developing Liquid Tools that get it right first time, on time, every time has been JLM Lubricants’ mission from day one. Today thousands of technicians worldwide trust them, restock them and recommend them. JLM has an extensive range of workshop heroes including DPF Clean (spray or two step) and JLM Diesel DPF Spray to mention just a couple.
