It’s been some time since our last progress update, so we thought we would give our customers an insight into everything that’s been happening at Clickable HQ recently. It’s been an incredibly busy period for us, with a number of product ranges expanding significantly over the past six months. We now carry a near-complete range of Continental drive belts for BMW models from the early 1980s, which is a big deal for those trying to source rare V-belts for their older cars. These Contitech belts are considered the best in the industry, and are original equipment as fitted by BMW. If there’s a belt you need that you can’t see on the website, please get in touch and we’ll see if it’s something we can help with.

As you may have seen, we’ve also introduced a brand new range of performance coilovers and lowering springs from AP Sport Suspension. It’s really exciting for us to be given the opportunity to introduce a new product range to the Australian BMW community, particularly one with perfectly engineered damping rates, German build quality, and exceptional prices. The AP products are proof that you don’t have to spend the world to get a fantastic suspension set-up for your BMW. It’s still early days, but so far their products have been a resounding success among our customer base, and the feedback we’re receiving has been overwhelmingly positive. Late last year we had the AP Coilovers installed on Project 46, and we couldn’t be happier with how the car is riding and handling now. We’ll be publishing our own in-depth thoughts on the coilovers in a future blog post.

We’re quickly approaching our fifth birthday which is a pretty big milestone for us, so we wanted to say a big thanks for your ongoing support. Quality parts, reasonable prices, and proper customer service remain at the core of everything we do. In many ways it’s still an uphill battle to create our vision for how a worldwide competitive business exists within Australia, but we’re proud to say we’ve made a noticeable impact on the local aftermarket parts industry, trailblazing a path in automotive ecommerce and helping thousands of customers keep their BMWs on the road for less. We’re also acutely aware of our competitors, both local and overseas, who have grown far too quickly for their own good and are now suffering a lot of negative criticism because of it. We haven’t got everything 100% perfect just yet, but there’s always a huge amount of work being done behind-the-scenes to improve things for our customers -- and from the position we’re in now, the future is very exciting.

Our sales continue to grow and exceed our projections as more BMW owners learn about what we do here, which means we’re continuing to encounter stock issues. We wanted to apologise to any of our customers who have been inconvenienced. In an effort to fix these issues, in the near future we’ll be moving into a much bigger warehouse that will allow us to keep more stock on-hand. We’ll be posting an introduction to the new digs once we’re settled, but needless to say we’re very excited about the upcoming move.

As always, we have lots of really cool things in the works for the second half of 2016 and early next year, so please head to Facebook and give us a ‘like’ to be the first to know. Or if you’re on Instagram, follow us here for a behind-the-scenes look into Clickable Automotive.
