As a leading global supplier of precision engineered turbochargers and components for the automotive aftermarket, we are thrilled to announce the expansion of our Authorised Service Centre (ASC) network into Latin America.

Our ASC network comprises experienced, quality-focused turbocharger repair specialists who utilise Melett precision-engineered components and state-of-the-art equipment to perform the highest quality turbo repairs.

“Our Authorised Service Centre network has established a highly regarded reputation as the trusted choice for turbocharger repair across Poland, Italy, and Spain,” said Darren Johnson, Group Sales Director. “As we now look to expand the network into Latin America, our objective is to deliver the same unparalleled technical expertise, quality, and customer service that has made our European ASC network such a success.”

Heading up this significant expansion is Jose Fuentes, Sales Account Executive for Latin America.

Jose said: “We are excited to introduce our Authorised Service Centre network to Latin America, expanding our commitment to quality and service to a new region.

“Our ASCs in Europe have demonstrated remarkable success in providing independent garages with reliable, high-quality turbocharger repairs. We are confident that our network in Latin America will uphold these standards and support local garages with the same dedication to quality and reliability.

The expansion of the network into Latin America will start in Mexico, with four leading turbocharger repair businesses across key regions of the country. The inaugural Mexican ASCs include Turbos y Refacciones de Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Turbo System in Monterrey, who also have two additional sites in Merida and Queretaro, Megaturboss in Mexico City, and Servikar in Aguascalientes.

By working with our ASC network, garages can rest assured that any enquiries are handled quickly and efficiently by repairers with the technical expertise to provide a complete solution.

Furthermore, our ASCs can provide a full turbocharger inspection and diagnosis service to help identify the root cause of failure and prevent further issues.

This commitment to quality and efficiency has made our ASC network a trusted name in turbocharger repair throughout Europe, and now, it will bring the same benefits to Latin America.

Melett showcases turbo expertise at AAPEX 2023

We have bolstered our customer support offering at Melett North America , creating a more streamlined warehouse operation to process orders quicker, as we continue to assess the market and make required developments in line with ongoing demand.

Melett North America is centrally located to best service both the USA and Canada and its team of experts work closely with customers to offer accessible, workshop-focused technical support.

Following double-digit sales growth year on year, we have continued to enhance our customer support, offering one of the largest databases of turbochargers in the North American aftermarket.

Created for ease of use, the Melett website provides customers with access to over 150,000 detailed turbo build sheets and service data.

It contains the most up-to-date information on component compatibility for specific turbochargers and vehicles, along with part numbers, dimensions of the most common components, housing data, actuator calibration information and balancing data.

Easy-to-use search functions enable users to browse in various ways such as searching by turbocharger, OE part number, or Melett part number, as well as identifying the turbocharger part when only the vehicle application is known.

Customers can use the website to access our extensive range of assembled and VSR balanced CHRA (core assemblies), which eliminates the need for repairers to invest in expensive high-speed balancing equipment.

At Melett, we provide complete reassurance, as each core assembly and component is quality checked and inspected against the original equipment specifications to ensure OEM performance is maintained during operation.

In addition to core assemblies, we also offer a variety of fast-moving repair kits and, for instances where a repair is not possible, a range of new turbo units.

Kenny Taylor, General Manager at Melett North America, said: “Customer service is key to everything we do, so we welcome open dialogue and continually embrace regular opportunities to develop our offering to make the customer journey as smooth as possible. Our website has been developed to do just that and our newly streamlined warehouse facility will only enhance this even further.”
