NAPA Rayloc announced that it has upgraded the friction on all of its replacement disc brake pads with what the company calls "the most modern, advanced formulas."

“Cars today are more technologically advanced and last longer than ever before,” says Mike Gaffney, vice president, sales and marketing, NAPA Rayloc. “Our aftermarket friction formulations are ideal for today’s vehicles, by providing superior, long-lasting stopping power along with little to no noise and vibration – at a variety of price points.

“With this newly upgraded family, we are offering truly differentiated lines of brake pads, with superior friction, shims and hardware, plus OE-matched features for virtually every vehicle on the road today,” Gaffney says, noting that product packaging has also been upgraded to help installers match the perfect pad to each customer.

NAPA Rayloc says it offers a wide array of “good-better-best” options to meet virtually every vehicle and driving condition. Upgraded formulations are available for the Adaptive One, NAPA Ultra-Premium, NAPA Premium and Proformer lines.

“We want to give stores and service providers all the tools they need to build relationships with their customers based on trust and open knowledge,” Gaffney adds. “Our differentiated product line, intuitive packaging and the field support provided by NAPA Rayloc make that possible.”

NAPA also has included hardware kits in hundreds of additional disc brake pad sets across all its brands to ensure customers have everything needed to complete the "Perfect Brake Job."      

“Worn hardware may look fine, but can cause heat damage, premature wear, reduced gas mileage and potential brake failure,” Gaffney says. “A small investment in fresh hardware can maintain optimal brake performance and maximize service life.”

A Show of Changes

TechShop was on site in Orlando, FL for the Matco Tools Expo and the Mac Tools Tool Fair.

To be successful as an auto technician, you have to keep up with the changes. Technology moves fast, and the cars you all work on are always changing. Just as fast, the tools and equipment required to do your job are changing right alongside.If you’re thinking about new screwdrivers, you’re right. But that’s only a part of it. As the spring season approaches every year, the tool companies that cater to our industry kick off the weather we’ve all been waiting for with their annual tool shows to highlight the latest technology that’ll soon be hitching a ride on your local tool truck.To keep up with it all, TechShop was on site in Orlando, FL for the Matco Tools Expo and the Mac Tools Tool Fair. There were new screwdrivers and new colors. There were also new sockets, lights, toolboxes, storage options, electronics, diagnostics and more. And in addition to the new tools that are born with new technology, it always amazes me to see all the new tool solutions made, simply to make a technician’s job easier!Reflecting some other big changes in the tool industry is the other part of it, and those changes are a shift in manufacturing and sustainability. A theme which I’ve unintentionally followed this year in my columns is accepting essential aspects needed to succeed in our industry. One of those is adopting eco-friendly practices in our shops. I was pleased to learn that the tool industry has their eye on these aspects as well.Why is it so important? The automotive repair industry is building a new initiative where every oil change, every part replacement, every repair and the equipment, tools and supplies we use on a daily basis all have an eye toward sustainability. I don’t feel it’s a matter of choice; it’s a responsibility we all owe to our environment and future generations.Made in the U.S.A. That’s becoming a common theme that is resounding with tool manufacturers. We all know the importance of supporting our own economy, and the shift to U.S. manufacturing is starting to gain a foothold, bringing with it another advantage: sustainability in manufacturing.Bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. gives company engineers the ability to closely manage manufacturing processes, ensuring they are not only economically sound, but have minimum negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources.I should be clear, this isn’t to say that manufacturing abroad is bad, or that it’s harmful to the environment. Some of that takes place here. But in addition to engineering the latest technology in tools, it’s a good feeling to know that the companies we support as technicians are beginning to make a shift, with the best interest of our economy and the future of our environment at the top of their list.By supporting suppliers and manufacturers of products who share our commitment to the environment, we can amplify the impact of everyone’s collective efforts and contribute to a greener automotive ecosystem.As far as the new tools, we’ll keep the information coming your way.
