KYB has debuted a new app and website meant to improve customer experience and aid service professionals.

KYB recently launched a new road-testing app and updated its website.

KYB is utilizing technology to achieve three objectives, the company says, to train service professionals on how to determine if shocks should be replaced, provide better information to consumers on the condition of the vehicle and to help the consumer decide which replacement shock is the best choice for their needs.

The KYB Road Testing App helps service providers start a conversation about shocks and struts with their customer. Shocks and struts are an under sold category because technicians lack a good way to rate wear and service writers don’t have enough information or facts to recommend the sale with confidence. The app aims to rate wear and provide information on different products and can even send Vehicle Condition Reports directly to the customer’s phone or email address. The KYB Road Testing App can be downloaded at no charge and is available for Apple and Android devices.

Additionally, the company has updated its website with the goal of being more consumer friendly. The site includes new videos, simple graphic icons that describe the purpose of each product, electronic catalogs by product category and 360-degree product images.
