K&N Filters
A K&N air filter is designed to achieve high, virtually unrestricted air flow while maintaining filtration levels critical to ensure long engine life. The high flow cotton gauze air filter is washable, reusable and built to last for the life of an automotive engine. The filters consist of four to six sheets of oiled cotton gauze layered between two sheets of aluminum wire mesh. The result is an air filter that allows dramatically more air into an engine and will protect the engine for the life of the vehicle.
Anyone who is into performance cars, boats, or motorcycles knows K&N and probably owns one or more. Now you can offer K&N through your store. WM stocks a broad inventory of
OE replacement air filters
Filter recharge kits and oil
Performance Gold Oil Filters
We have coverage tailored to our market, with several levels of planogram stocks to fit any store. With purchase of a minimum stock order, you can get a filter demo unit at No Charge.
New to the line are the Air Intake Power Kits, which include a vehicle-specific filter housing and ductwork. Each will increase power from 8 to 30 HP, tested and guaranteed.
. This is the genuine article, and we are pleased to be on-board with K&N.
ACTRON
Professional electronic diagnostics tools for the DIY customer. We have carried a few Actron SKUs to support our Parts Plus Tool & Equipment flyers. For 2007 Actron is in stock and in quantity. Their OBD/CAN scanners are priced to be affordable for the DIY market. We also carry their full range of test and tune tools, from timing lights to multimeters. And that PocketTherm IR Thermometer is pretty cool.
AutoXray Codescout 700 is a quick code reader for OBD2 vehicles. It displays any codes and allows the code to be reset. This is an inexpensive scanner which fits easily in the glovebox and the budget.
Codescout 2500 is more full-featured, covering OBD1 & OBD2 in English or Spanish. Includes code and description, can be updated, stores previous scans, export data to PC.
SunPro Gauges are a legend in the hotrod market. Even the rice-rocket crowd requires a SunPro Super Tach on every dash. WM now carries a full line of gauges and mounting accessories in SunPro.
Put in a standard gauge stock and you can get a great-looking counter merchandiser at no charge (limited time).
AutoXray, Actron, and SunPro are all part of SPX Corporation, which also owns OTC and Robinair.
Delphi Harrison Thermal Systems Radiators We have added over 100 SKUs for GM applications. Best price/quality on the market. Add it to your electronic cataloging so you wont miss a sale.
Monroe Quickstruts are in stock now for popular applications. A Quickstrut is a premium strut -Reflex or SensaTracassembled with a new spring, upper mount, and any related hardware. All the installer has to dois unbolt the old, bolt in the new. Alignment is rarely required. A great DIY item.
Heater CoresProliance/ReadyAire has bought out Fedco, Modine etc. so our heater cores will start shipping with Proliance labels. Part number will change to the 39-numbers we used to use. In addition, we will be carrying Visteon and Delphi heater cores under their own brand & number, where there is a competitive advantage.
