Al-Futtaim Motors adopts MPS super-fast 'Smart' paint repair solution

Toyota and Lexus owners across the UAE can now benefit from combining paint and body repairs with regular mechanical servicing, dramatically reducing the amount of time they are without their cars.

MPS's revolutionary Smart (Small/Medium Area Repair Techniques) process is a new, non-toxic way of repairing anything from stone chips to minor accident damage. Using cutting edge nanotechnology, this unique paint repair solution allows Al-Futtaim Motors' professionally trained technicians to repair minor damage without the need for extensive masking, large spray booths and extended drying times.

The MPS process is approved worldwide by both Japanese car brands and leads the market by delivering a guaranteed, flawless finish that matches the factory colour of the car, all in a fraction of the time required using conventional body shop methods.

"MPS has totally changed our throughput at the workshop," said Kevin Jones, Senior General Manager, Service, Al-Futtaim Motors. "What would have taken us a couple of days to fix can now be turned around in a fraction of that time. This means that our customers' cars can be repaired whilst they are being serviced, so they are back on the road without any delay."

Unlike other systems, MPS is 100% isocyanate free and completely harmless. It can be used without breathing apparatus and can be applied in a non-controlled environment. This allows technicians to work alongside service centre staff as they take care of standard service items.

It is also environmentally friendly, with the lowest volatile organic compound VOC content of any paint solution currently on the market, well ahead of current and future EU paint legislation. The MPS process is a truly green solution in keeping with the high standards in environmental practices that Al-Futtaim Motors adheres to.

"To partner with a market leader like Al-Futtaim Motors as our first GCC customer is a huge vote of confidence in our Micro Paint System," said Greg Herron, Executive Director of MPS Gulf. "Customers now have the option of getting annoying dents and scrapes repaired while their car is being serviced and without having to wait any longer.

"For automotive distributors and dealers, it means that their workshops are not tied up waiting for freshly painted cars to dry. They can also keep the service line moving and increase their throughput. It really does have to be seen to be believed," he added.

MPS Gulf also offers a number of other products including CCR (Clear Coat Rejuvenation) which rejuvenates the clear coat that protects the paint surface on vehicles, HLR (Head Light Rejuvenation) which returns milky and faded headlights to a brand new finish, and OBP (Optical Brilliance Protection) which re-awakens tired paint, giving a brilliant finish and restoring much of the lustre lost from sun damage and poor cleaning methods.
