AMSOIL BRINGS IN MORE CUSTOMERS

Every business wants more loyal, high-value customers. AMSOIL partners with quick lubes, full-service garages, powersports service garages and specialty shops to increase car counts and sales per ticket, creating loyal customers who return again and again.

EXCLUSIVITY

AMSOIL products aren’t available everywhere. To avoid predatory pricing and help you compete, AMSOIL products are not sold through big-box retailers. Instead, they’re sold through independent retail businesses, quick lubes, full-service garages, powersports service garages and specialty shops—places where people value quality over rock-bottom prices, and places where personnel know their stuff and can provide their customers the type of expertise and service after the sale unavailable elsewhere. Carrying AMSOIL products positions you as the go-to place for AMSOIL products in your area and distinguishes you from other businesses.

VISIBILITY

Tens of thousands of people visit amsoil.com and amsoil.ca every day, many looking for retail businesses that sell AMSOIL products or install them as part of a service. Qualifying retail accounts appear on the AMSOIL Locator at amsoil.com/amsoil.ca, helping drive customers through their doors.

LOYALTY

Most of your current customers probably aren’t loyal to one motor oil brand. AMSOIL customers, however, tend to be enthusiasts—people who care more about protecting their vehicles than the average motorist. They trust AMSOIL products, seek them out and don’t quibble about paying a premium price for a premium synthetic motor oil. AMSOIL customers offer a great complement to your current customer base and help you boost sales.

BUILD YOUR REPUTATION FOR EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY

We know that word-of-mouth referrals are critical to installer businesses. AMSOIL products are built with an extra measure of protection and performance you can rely on to take care of your customers’ vehicles, including today’s demanding turbocharged, direct-injection models.

3M COMPANY

3m.com/personalauto

PREMIUM PRODUCTS THAT HELP SHOPS BUILD REPUTATION—AND REVENUE

In today’s automotive aftermarket, success isn’t just about installation quality—it’s about building a brand customers trust. For decades, 3M has played a central role in helping shops do exactly that. Through its Personal Auto Films portfolio, the company delivers a complete set of post-factory solutions designed to help installers expand services, increase ticket size and grow long-term business.

At its core, 3M’s value proposition is straightforward: when shops install 3M products, they’re selling more than protection or restyling—they’re selling the strength of the 3M name. That brand recognition carries real weight with consumers, making it easier for shops to close sales and position themselves as high-quality providers in their local markets.

3M’s lineup is built around the services customers are already requesting.

Paint protection film (PPF)—including 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film Pro Series—remains a cornerstone category for many shops. Designed to protect high-impact areas from rock chips, scratches and road debris, PPF helps preserve a vehicle’s appearance while delivering strong margins for installers. When structured into tiered packages—from partial coverage to full wraps—it also creates natural upsell opportunities that increase average order value.

Expanding on that foundation, 3M Protection Wrap Film allows shops to take the category further by combining protection and personalization in a single product. With thicker construction and self-healing properties, it offers both durability and bold color options, giving customers a way to restyle their vehicle while adding long-term protection. For installers, that means fewer product layers to manage and a more streamlined installation process.

For customers focused primarily on appearance, 3M Wrap Film continues to be a reliable solution for full or partial vehicle transformations. With a broad range of finishes—from gloss and matte to more unique textures—shops can meet a wide range of customization requests. Installer-friendly features help reduce rework and improve efficiency, allowing installers to spend less time fixing issues and more time completing profitable jobs.

Automotive window tint rounds out the portfolio as a core, high-volume service. Whether the goal is heat rejection, UV protection, glare reduction or added privacy, 3M Automotive Window Tint delivers benefits that are easy for customers to understand and easy for shops to sell. Because nearly every vehicle can benefit from tint, it remains one of the most consistent traffic drivers for shops.

Beyond products, 3M supports shops with tools and resources that directly impact productivity and profitability. The 3M Pattern Marketplace gives installers access to thousands of precision-cut patterns for paint protection and automotive window tint, helping reduce cutting time, improve installation accuracy and minimize costly material waste.

Training programs and 3M Pro Shop designation opportunities further help shops sharpen their skills, build credibility and differentiate themselves in competitive markets.

From a business perspective, one of the biggest advantages of working with 3M is the ability to build a scalable, full-service offering from a single supplier. Shops can bundle PPF, wraps and automotive window tint into packaged solutions that simplify the buying process for customers while driving higher ticket values. These bundled offerings not only increase revenue per vehicle but also improve overall shop efficiency.

For shop owners focused on long-term growth, that combination of brand strength, product performance and installer support can make a measurable impact. With 3M Personal Auto Films, shops aren’t just adding services—they’re building a more efficient operation, strengthening their reputation and positioning their business for sustained success.

ADVANCED CLUTCH TECHNOLOGY

ADVANCED CLUTCH TECHNOLOGY: ENGINEERED TO TRANSFER POWER EFFICIENTLY SINCE 1994

For more than three decades, Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) has built its reputation on a simple principle: deliver high-performance driveline solutions that racers, enthusiasts and professional installers can trust.

Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Lancaster, California, ACT designs, engineers, tests, manufactures and distributes performance clutch systems and flywheels for a wide range of applications, including sport compact, domestic muscle, Euro and off-road vehicles. While many aftermarket brands outsource critical manufacturing processes, ACT maintains extensive in-house engineering and production capabilities, allowing the company to maintain strict quality standards and rapidly respond to evolving vehicle platforms and customer demands.

What separates ACT from many competitors is its engineering-first approach. Rather than relying on marketing-driven “stage” designations, ACT focuses on measurable performance characteristics such as torque capacity, clamp load, drivability, heat management and durability.

This approach allows installers and consumers to select the correct clutch system based on the vehicle’s power level and intended use rather than arbitrary classifications.

ACT’s product lineup includes single-disc, twin-disc and race-oriented clutch systems, along with a comprehensive range of performance flywheels. Each product undergoes extensive validation to ensure consistent engagement, predictable pedal feel and long-term reliability under demanding conditions.

One of the company’s most significant recent developments is the introduction of the ACT Mod-Twin Series. Designed as a modular twin-disc clutch platform, the Mod-Twin combines a forged aluminum cover assembly with interchangeable friction materials, clamp load options and hub configurations. This modular design allows installers and builders to tailor a clutch package to specific vehicle requirements while maintaining OE-style fitment and serviceability.

The Mod-Twin platform also introduces ACT’s Mono-Drive hub technology, which utilizes a continuous spline design to improve durability and reduce wear on transmission input shafts. Combined with available organic street discs or aggressive cerametallic race discs, the system provides flexibility for applications ranging from high-performance street vehicles to dedicated competition builds.

Beyond product innovation, ACT remains deeply involved in the motorsports community. The company supports racers and teams across drifting, drag racing, road racing, rally racing, autocross, Time Attack, off-road competitions and grassroots motorsports. Partnerships with professional drivers and race teams provide valuable real-world feedback that helps guide future product development.

Education also remains a cornerstone of the ACT philosophy. Through technical webinars, installation videos, trade show seminars and industry training programs, the company continues to help technicians, distributors and enthusiasts better understand clutch technology and proper product selection.

As vehicle performance continues to advance and enthusiasts push power levels higher than ever before, the need for reliable driveline solutions becomes increasingly important. ACT’s commitment to engineering excellence, manufacturing quality and technical support has positioned the company as a trusted partner for installers and builders across North America and beyond.

After more than 30 years in business, ACT continues to focus on the same mission that helped establish its reputation: delivering performance clutch systems designed to transfer power efficiently, withstand abuse and keep enthusiasts driving with confidence.

aFe POWER

ABOUT US

We are a team of passionate automotive enthusiasts who engineer and manufacture high-performance air filters, cold air intakes, exhaust systems and more for drivers who demand the absolute best. Whether customers are clocking laps at the track or conquering off-road terrain, our products are made to elevate any drive. For over 27 years, our commitment to performance, innovation and quality has made us the trusted choice for racing professionals, leading industry distributors and automotive enthusiasts worldwide.

SINCE 1999

In 1999, two engineers had a dream of a high-performance air filter—five layers of progressive cotton media, a filter oil that captures debris while allowing maximum airflow without interfering with MAF sensors and a sturdy polyurethane base for structural integrity. Driven by this vision, an air filter prototype was tested and developed, and advanced FLOW engineering (aFe POWER) was officially born. Twenty-seven years later, aFe POWER’s expansive product line not only includes air filters, intakes and exhausts, but also charge pipes, headers, bull bars, rock sliders, sway bars, electronic power modules, pedal enhancers and much, much more.

MADE IN USA

We’re driven by passion and engineering excellence. Our engineers are enthusiasts themselves, and use cutting-edge technology, exclusive patents and their passion for driving to design data-driven performance solutions. Every product undergoes rigorous research and development, including multiple design iterations, extensive dyno testing, flow analysis and real-world durability testing before it ever reaches the consumer’s hands. We manufacture 95% of our products in-house at our state-of-the-art, 350,000-square-foot facilities in Corona, California.

Air Filter Production: We manufacture our industry-leading air filters in-house by hand, using high-quality filter media and durable polyurethane molds built to outlast and outperform.

Intake Manufacturing/Rotational Molding: Our cold-air intake airboxes and tubes are manufactured using in-house rotational molding to create unique shapes that maximize volume and airflow, reducing the number of parts for easier installation and ensuring a precise fit in any engine bay. We use cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for heat, chemical and UV resistance.

Sheet Metal Fabrication: We combine strength and functionality with cutting, bending and welding of premium aluminum to craft stylish intake heat shields and tough rock sliders.

Expert Welding: Our team of expert welders uses MIG and TIG welding to meticulously craft stainless steel exhaust systems, headers and aluminum charge pipes, ensuring beautiful welds and long-term reliability.

IN-HOUSE SUPPORT

When customers need technical support, they won’t get stuck in an endless automated overseas call queue. Our dedicated in-house experts work under the very same roof where our parts are dreamt up, tested and built. We’re always a phone call away, ready to provide educated answers and thoughtful support.

APEX BY BENDPAK

bendpak.com/apex

APEX delivers professional-grade automotive equipment built for real shops, serious enthusiasts and hardworking techs who demand dependable performance without overspending. Backed by the engineering expertise and support network behind BendPak, APEX combines decades of hands-on industry experience with practical engineering to create high-quality lifting, wheel service and loading equipment designed for real-world shop use. Every lift, tire changer, wheel balancer and ramp is built to work hard, perform consistently and help techs tackle demanding automotive jobs safely and efficiently. Rather than chasing trends or unnecessary complexity, APEX focuses on solving the everyday challenges technicians face in busy shops and garages across the country.

One standout in the lineup is the APEX AL9LC two-post lift. Engineered with a 9,000-pound lifting capacity, the floorplate-style lift is ideal for shops and garages with low ceilings that still need professional lifting capability. Dual symmetric and asymmetric arm configurations, long-reach telescoping arms and a rugged chain-over lifting system allows the AL9LC to confidently service a wide range of vehicles while delivering the stability and reliability technicians expect from professional shop equipment. For independent repair facilities and enthusiasts building out serious home garages, the AL9LC offers professional lifting performance while remaining approachable, practical and cost effective.

APEX also continues to expand its wheel service lineup with equipment designed to meet the demands of today’s modern vehicles. The APEX AT26A tire changer delivers commercial-level capability at a cost-effective price, making it an ideal solution for growing shops and advanced home garages. Equipped with a high-torque electric turntable, pneumatic assist tower and powerful bead breaker, the AT26A is engineered to handle low-profile tires, oversized wheel packages and stiff sidewalls with greater speed, control and confidence. The machine is designed to protect expensive wheels while helping technicians improve workflow efficiency and reduce fatigue throughout the workday. Every feature is engineered to create smoother operation and more consistent results for technicians handling increasingly difficult wheel and tire combinations.

Beyond lifts and wheel service equipment, APEX has also developed innovative loading solutions inspired by real-world shop frustrations. The 48-inch Lightweight Foam Trailer Ramp Kit was created specifically for low-clearance vehicles that struggle with steep loading angles. Each ramp raises the trailer interface 5 inches while reducing the approach angle to just 5.9 degrees, helping vehicles clear splitters, lips and long overhangs without scraping.

Constructed with a solid high-density EPS foam core and protected by a rugged polyurea coating, the ramps remain lightweight and easy to handle while still delivering impressive strength and durability. A reinforced UHMW insert embedded into the shelf interface prevents compression and deformation during repeated use, helping maintain consistent loading geometry every time the vehicle is loaded. What you end up with is a compact, dependable ramp system that performs consistently whether used at the track, in the shop or during transport.

The closed cell structure means the beads trap gas rather than water. The core does not soak up moisture, does not rust and does not slowly turn to mush if you park on it for long stretches.

These featured pieces of equipment represent only a small sample of the growing lineup APEX continues to deliver to repair shops, service centers, performance garages and automotive professionals throughout the industry. From vehicle lifts to wheel service equipment and advanced loading solutions, APEX equipment is engineered to deliver dependable performance backed by BendPak support and industry experience. Whether serving professional repair facilities, performance shops or passionate weekend warriors, APEX remains committed to building equipment that helps customers work smarter, safer and faster while retaining commercial-grade quality.

KYB AMERICAS CORPORATION

kyb.com

At KYB, we believe in developing the very best and safest products.

Good enough does not cut it for products that affect the control, stability and safe operation of your vehicle. Whether transporting your family, hauling heavy loads getting to remote areas or daily commuting, our products are built with a clear, correct purpose.

Shocks and struts may look alike, but their performance can be very different. By consistently developing world-class ride control products, KYB has become the world’s largest supplier of OE and aftermarket shocks and struts.

We use the same materials, techniques and facilities to build our aftermarket products as we do our OE products. We take pride in offering products that help restore a vehicle to how it performed when it was new. KYB doesn’t believe in “good, better, best” for a product that affects the safety of your vehicle. We set the bar at restoring original designed control capabilities and offer performance upgrade products for some vehicles.

This “refresh or more” philosophy leads KYB to build shocks, struts and strut assemblies that are specifically calibrated for each vehicle. The difference between cheap shocks and KYB is not just how long they will last, but how well they will perform.

Check out the KYB Parts Catalog app, available on Google Play and the App Store, to discover the wide range of KYB applications based on vehicle year, model, drive type, engine size, trim level and other factors.

We understand that people use their vehicles in different ways, and it’s important to give people a choice when choosing the best shock. If you loved the way your vehicle rode and handled when new, we suggest choosing the KYB Excel-G or Strut-Plus units. If you are looking for additional control for a truck or SUV, we recommend the KYB Gas-a-just. Or, if you are doing full-time work with your truck and hauling heavy loads, choose the KYB MonoMax. KYB Truck-Plus complete assemblies, Truck-Plus Leveling Kits or the new KYB Performance Line for lifting vehicles may also fit your needs.

Our mission embraces education and safety. We believe that knowledge allows for better decisions and better-performing vehicles. That’s why we offer two different training opportunities through our KYB Video Training Series.

Service techs and advisers can learn about KYB products, how to recognize worn suspension components, how to analyze the issues they are causing and then how to make proper recommendations. Parts professionals will learn the benefits of each of the KYB product lines, how worn shocks can accelerate wear on other components such as tires and brakes, and how to sell value, not just price. Both of these programs can be found at kyb.com/training.

We can also come to you with our training programs for on-site training and offer appearances by our KYB 4Trainer educational vehicle. Contact your area KYB rep to set up a training program at your facility.

KYB has been in North America for more than 50 years—we have 32 facilities in 21 countries, and 15 manufacturing plants in Asia, the United States and Europe. KYB’s global headquarters is in Tokyo, Japan.

LOGIQ AIR SUSPENSION

logiqair.com

Today’s trucks are more capable and sophisticated than ever before—yet many load support solutions still rely on decades-old thinking.

At its core, LOGIQ is a vehicle dynamics innovation company focused on improving ride quality, stability and load support through engineered precision, intelligent control and application-specific design. The result is a smarter approach to load leveling that delivers greater confidence when towing and hauling without compromising everyday drivability.

LOGIQ is for customers who demand a more comfortable and capable ride when towing and hauling heavy loads—contractors hauling materials, equipment operators towing machinery and toy haulers traveling cross-country. These customers need capability under load, but they don’t want to sacrifice ride quality to do it. LOGIQ systems are designed to deliver both.

Others use “helper bag” tech that’s stuck in the 1950s, while LOGIQ takes a scientific approach to the age-old suspension problem. Traditionally, load-leveling options involved drilling into the frame to add a universal “air bag” and cranking up the pressure to compensate for sag—a method that limits suspension travel and makes the ride harsher than before.

LOGIQ engineers each kit using advanced rolling-sleeve air springs that are tuned for the ride frequency and load capacity of each truck platform. This allows for more usable suspension travel, a smoother ride when loaded down and direct-fit products that don’t require drilling or welding to the frame. When paired with the industry’s smartest control system, AirIQ, the result is the ultimate load-leveling solution engineered to outperform and outlast.

Leaf Assist Air Spring Kits are designed to supplement the factory leaf pack, providing extra load support, improved loaded ride quality and maximum compatibility with fifth-wheel hitches and after-market lift kits. Coil Replacement Air Spring Kits provide maximum performance and comfort whether loaded or unloaded.

This unique solution also offers the ability to fully raise or lower the truck for ease of loading.

Both product types allow users to level their load by adjusting the air springs to return ride height to the desired level position. This restores suspension geometry to its optimal operating range while eliminating suspension sag and the associated handling compromises.

LOGIQ Air Management is a fully integrated ecosystem that controls, monitors and distributes air through a centralized architecture. At the core of the system is AirIQ, LOGIQ’s intelligent control technology. Using the AirIQ app or wireless remote, drivers can monitor system status, select ride-height presets and make real-time adjustments from inside or outside the vehicle.

Unlike traditional solutions that treat air springs, compressors and controls as separate components, LOGIQ engineers every element to function as a unified system. This integrated approach delivers greater consistency, an improved user experience and more precise vehicle control.

For retailers, installers and end users alike, that means access to a suspension solution that combines engineered load support with intelligent control. Rather than simply addressing vehicle sag, LOGIQ delivers a comprehensive system designed to meet the expectations of today’s truck owners.

WILWOOD DISC BRAKES

wilwood.com

Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures high-performance disc brake systems. Since the company’s inception in 1977 by Bill Wood, we have developed a substantial matrix of brake components and engineering techniques that allow us to create upgraded brake systems that are reliable for almost any application.

Our core ability is the rapid development of custom-engineered brake systems using a combination of off-the-shelf and custom components. In addition to designing and manufacturing brakes for many automotive and truck segments and all types of competitive motorsports, Wilwood also manufactures brake systems and components for agricultural equipment, industrial applications, utility vehicles, snowmobiles, quads, motorcycles and military vehicles.

Just around the corner, 2027 will mark Wilwood’s 50th anniversary. A solely owned business with headquarters in Camarillo, California, Wilwood employs over 350 people. We have stocked inventories of more than 300 different brake calipers, 200 rotor designs, 100 master cylinder designs and a wide assortment of brackets, fittings, valves and brake lines. Our wide variety of brake calipers range in size from tiny applications used on go-karts and light-duty industrial equipment to very large, heavy-duty original equipment brakes for the U.S. military Humvee.

Wilwood’s engineering department uses the latest advancements in computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques in conjunction with finite element analysis, dynamic test and cycle test equipment to find high-performance and reliable solutions for the most difficult braking conditions.

In 2016, Wilwood doubled its company footprint by purchasing a second 100,000-square-foot building that is now home to many of our expanded product manufacturing offerings, such as hard anodizing, laser engraving, and masking and powder-coating, along with product assembly, testing, packaging, warehousing and shipping operations.

On the Wilwood Racing side, for more than 49 years Wilwood has worked with the best teams in the motorsports industry to test, research, engineer and develop braking systems from pedal to pad that are made to handle the extreme demands of racing. From dirt and asphalt tracks, paved ovals, desert racing and rock crawling to road courses and drag racing strips, Wilwood has helped drivers and teams win countless races and championships.

With off-roading becoming more prevalent this past decade, Wilwood has been introducing new and innovative braking products for many dirt-based market segments. Included are new brake upgrades for UTV and side-by-side vehicles including many Polaris, Can-Am and Honda 4-lug platforms, with 5- and 6-lug variations for the leading manufacturers now available as well. Additionally, Wilwood is found on overlanding rigs, with our latest line of Aero6-DM (Direct Mount) upgrade brake kits designed to bolt-on easily and help stop these vehicles loaded down with aftermarket accessories like rooftop tents, spare water, gas and propane tanks, refrigerators, etc., making them much heavier and harder to stop than when they left the assembly line. The Aero6-DM line also carries over to the heavy-duty tow vehicle realm with kits available for select 3/4- and 1-ton trucks.

Whether you prefer the street or the dirt, or if you’re into cars or trucks, Wilwood Engineering is a braking systems manufacturer dedicated to helping your vehicle stop better and safer with quality parts designed, tested and manufactured in the USA.
