masterclass is one resource we have to help share this information.”

“The training was great and whole team will have benefitted enormously from it. They’re now well equipped to advise customers on braking and share Mintex’s quality message,” said David Clarke, MD of Autosupplies.

The seminar also covered the bedding in procedure, where brakes are run-in to assist in smooth braking operation and transfer a layer of friction material onto the disc, and the use of chamfers, shims and slots to prevent noise and vibration from the pads.

As well as an overview of the manufacturing process, the sales team were taken through how Mintex verifies brake pads and discs are operating and the pitfalls that some garages may fall into if parts aren’t fitted correctly, with the masterclass culminating in a quiz and presentation of certificates.
