Truck and Bus Tyres offer - on all Triangle and Doublestar tyres
Calling all truckers and bus companies in Zambia. A massive 20% off all Triangle and Doublestar tyres while stocks last.
Three reasons why you should replace worn out tyres:
- Tyre treads provide the traction necessary to grip wet or oily roads
- Tyre treads help keep your tyres cool, reducing the risk of blowouts
- Tyre treads help keep your tyres inflated. Low pressure tyres can’t grip the road as well, making it harder to steer the vehicle, harder to brake, and increasing fuel costs.
What better time than now to replace fleet vehicle tyres - with this amazing 20% discount offer from Autoworld!

Battery terminals - what's the big deal?
Battery terminals are part of your car’s charging system. The power from the battery flows through the terminals on its way to the starter and alternator.
Any electrical system is as good as its weakest link. Without a smooth strong terminal contact connecting the battery to the charging cables, the car won’t start well, or maybe not at all. In addition poor performing terminals will prevent the battery from getting recharged by the running engine.
Signs that you may need new battery terminals include:
- The car starts slowly or not at all
- Green or white corrosion on the terminals
- Terminal ends look damaged
- The battery light is on
It’s easier and less expensive to replace the terminals and have the terminal posts cleaned than it is to buy a new battery. In addition, if terminals are not replaced on time, other serious problems may come up such as blown fuses and even possibly fire.
“If terminals are not replaced on time, other serious problems may come up such as blown fuses and even possibly fire.”
Once you get new terminals, do make sure they are cleaned regularly. This will extend battery life while preventing the inconvenience of getting stranded unexpectedly because of a dead car battery.
The big deal is that Autoworld currently has a fantastic offer on battery terminals - buy a new Raylite, Hifase or Willard battery and get a free set of brass battery terminals. This will not only ensure your car is safe, but also that your new battery has a good connection to give you better performance!
Happy motoring :)

Holts training workshop at Autoworld 12 July 2016
Holts training workshop at Autoworld with participants and David Phiri, the facilitator
Autoworld recently organised some product training for its staff. On 12 July, Holts professional David Phiri ran a training session for our salesmen, fitment centre staff and warehouse staff. Established in 1919, Holts is a global leader in the manufacture of superior car care products, for improved performance, appearance, repair and maintenance.
The training at Autoworld consisted of discussions around the range of Holts products, which are designed to help with vehicle performance and maintenance:-
- Holts release spray – for easy penetration and release of jammed, frozen or rusted nuts, bolts and other parts
- Holts engine and part degreaser – a cleaner for metal and plastic which quickly removes oil, grease , tar and dirt and is suitable for parts, tools, gearboxes and machinery in general
- Holts electrical contact cleaner – this removes dirt, dust, oil and grease and is suitable for circuit boards and components such as switches
- Holts EGR and Carb cleaner – this will improve engine performance and is a ‘must buy’ (EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve)
- Holts brake and parts cleaner – this really cleans brakes, calipers, drums, springs, clutches, wheel cylinders and plates, increasing performance efficiency
- Holts high performance Moly grease – now shocks can be protected from corrosion and shock-loading. With a very low co-efficient of friction, this excellent product reduces wear and tear in shocks. Also suitable for CV joints, universal joints and wheel bearings (Moly stand for molybdenum disulphide)
- Holts silicone spray – lubricates, protects and waterproofs rubber, nylon, plastic, metal and wood
Participants were advised to encourage customers not to go for cheap brands but choose the professionally-developed Holts products stocked by Autoworld.
Autoworld staff were grateful to management for organising this excellent training event in co-operation with Holts, to give them more knowledge to serve customers even better.

Training on Caltex lubricants
To help give customers the best service possible, the Autoworld sales team were recently briefed on lubricants. This took place at the Caltex Lubricant Products training session held in the Autoworld Head Office Boardroom on 7th June 2016. The workshop was run by Mr Miti, the Managing Director of Universal Oil Marketing Company Ltd, which is the sole distributor of Caltex oils in Zambia.
Training covered the following:
• The composition of lubricating oil
• The functions of a lubricating oil
• The different classes of lubricating oils
• The jargon on the tin
• The importance of recommending the correct oil to customers
The students learned that lubricating oil is composed of base oil + lubricating oil additive (LOA). To make grease, soap is added to this mix. They also learned that you can’t mix one brand of oil with another. It may compromise the life of the vehicle.
The Autoworld salesmen appreciated learning more about lubricants from Mr Miti. It has equipped them to advise customers even better and sell the right lubricants to them.

Quality filters give great engine protection and save money
The purpose of a vehicle's filters is to keep out harmful contaminants from the engine.
Contaminants are carried by the air, oil and fuel supplies. Contaminants can be in the form of dust, sand, soot, water or engine-wearing metals. If these contaminants are NOT filtered out, rapid engine wear will occur, or worse, complete engine failure.
It can cost hundreds of thousands of Kwacha to recover from engine failure.
A sub-standard filter will most certainly result in premature wear. On the face of it and to the untrained eye, sub-standard filters may look fine from the outside. This is where the unsuspecting are led astray. In reality, filtration performance far outweighs physical appearance.
“Sub-standard filters will not adequately protect your engine, which may well result in unnecessary expenditure which could be substantial.”
You are strongly advised to fit the best quality filter to your vehicle. Just follow these simple rules:
- Always buy a reputable and trusted brand, such as a GUD filter.
- Always look for a comprehensive product warranty, as offered by GUD Filters. Other warranties may only replace the filter without covering the damage done to the vehicle’s engine.
- Always ensure that the brand you fit to your vehicle meets or exceeds the original equipment specification (as GUD filters do).
Why choose a GUD filter?
- GUD filters give great engine protection
- GUD filters are made with superior quality materials and to the specifications of the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)
- GUD filters offer a comprehensive warranty
- GUD filters have an extensive product range and expert technical support
- GUD filters are a reputable and trusted brand with a 65 year track record
“We stock the full range of GUD filters and you can get 15% off from the 3rd to the 9th of September 2015.”
