BETHESDA, Md. – The Engine Repower Council (ERC) has kicked off a membership drive through the support of Engine Parts Group, a collective of independent engine parts distributors that look for ways to work cooperatively in buying and marketing.

Engine Parts Group has mobilized its sales force to take the message right to shop owners about the importance of supporting ERC’s mission of educating consumers about the benefits of repowering their vehicles with a remanufactured/rebuilt engine. In addition, ERC has developed an informational website (www.enginerepower.org) designed to educate vehicle owners about engine replacement options. Engine builders have the opportunity to be listed on the Find-A-Shop search engine by joining the Engine Repower Council.

“ERC is very excited about the opportunity to work with the Engine Parts Group to bring great value to engine builders, including an online resume on our Find-A-Shop program that will help drive consumers to ERC member shops,” said Ken Carter, chairman of ERC. “The newly reduced membership fee will hopefully entice smaller engine builders to join ERC and take advantage of our consumer awareness campaign, marketing, research and industry support.”
