BALLWIN, Mo. – HD GROUP, creator of the Instant Inspection Diagnostic (IID) Service Kit, has announced the addition of Lynn Parker Associates (LPA) as its new sales representative agency.
“It is with great pleasure that HD GROUP welcomes Lynn Parker Associates to our representative team,” said Butch Hill, owner and president, HD GROUP.
LPA represents automotive manufacturers in multiple markets including traditional distributors, dealers, commercial/wholesale, retail and installers. The firm will be responsible for the domestic market and will be looking to extend HD GROUP’s product offering into areas that have not been traditionally serviced by the company.
LPA brings more than 40 years of professional sales management experience to the table.
“We are confident that we will offer the highest level of professionalism and service representing HD GROUP,” said Lynn Parker, owner and president of Lynn Parker Associates. “Proper vehicle inspections are very important to the automotive installer and their customers. The IID Kit is more than a basic inspection checklist that is typically printed on the back of the customer’s invoice or printed separately. The IID Kit has all the different inspection items built in that are needed to perform vehicle inspections. Too many times, I’ve experienced situations in a shop where the shop has run out of brake fluid test strips or coolant test strips, and when that happens, the installer cannot perform an adequate vehicle inspection. Both of these strips and other needed inspection tools are included in the IID Kit. This is a must-need item for a quality vehicle inspection.”
In 2008, HD GROUP started creating custom-branded IID Kits. Utilizing AMRA/MAP (Automotive Maintenance Repair Association/Motorist Assurance Program) guidelines, these kits provides the automotive service technician and their customers with a simple, instant evaluation that visually shows test results with the condition of their vehicles as well as an overview of the benefits of performing needed services. There is no guesswork, and the results are verified within seconds of testing, according to HD Group.
The IID Kits can be designed to cover: motor oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, gear lube, fuel injection, battery, filters, wiper blades, belts, hoses, lighting, tires, brake pads and more.
