Ridge West Garage places landmark order as DriveTec passes £100M

16th April 2025: DriveTec, available exclusively from GSF Car Parts, has named Ridge West in Hastings as the garage to officially push the brand over £100 million in sales over the last 12-months.

Ridge West placed the landmark order on 31st March, with a set of brake pads for a Ford Transit Courier.

DriveTec is trusted by garage technicians nationwide for its OE-matching quality, competitive pricing and ever-expanding portfolio. In recent months, the brand has introduced new ranges, including callipers, rotating electrics, radiators, EV brake pads and more – further strengthening its position as a reliable choice for technicians.

“We’ve used DriveTec and GSF Hastings for over 20 years” said Simon Trevena, Director of Ridge West Garage. “This is down to a strong relationship with the GSF business development manager and great service from the branch. We consider this as a partnership rather than a supplier and customer.”

GSF has invested into the growth of DriveTec, securing supply from world-leading manufacturers. Alongside with new central distribution in Wolverhampton, this has helped the brand achieve impressive sales growth.

“This success is thanks to the thousands of garages that trust DriveTec every day,” said Al Preston, Chief Customer Officer of GSF. Reaching £100 million in sales is ultimately a reflection of this trust. We’re proud to support garages with a range that delivers on quality, price, and availability.”

GSF will be showcasing the DriveTec product range at its TechFest events throughout this year. DriveTec is available from GSF’s national network of branches. For more information, visit your local branch.
