Brampton-based Alu Autotech will leverage its OEM knowledge to provide dealers, independent shops and MSOs with the products and expertise needed to return collision-damaged vehicles to manufacturer specifications.

Chief Automotive Technologies announced it has named Alu Autotech its dedicated distributor in Ontario. Alu Autotech is a new company staffed by technical consultants with extensive knowledge of OEM-approved collision repair methods, as well as the tools and equipment required to perform those repairs.

“The Alu Autotech team is going to leverage its OEM knowledge to provide dealers, independent shops and MSOs with the products and expertise needed to return collision-damaged vehicles to manufacturer specifications,” says T.J. Schultz, northern division sales manager for Chief. “The company already has a vast customer network in Ontario, providing Chief with a greater reach than we had in the past.
