Compressors are essential tools used in a wide variety of automotive applications, ranging from spray paint booths to tyre inflation.

They come in a range of sizes, from relatively small, portable models to full-sized industrial versions, so buyers can find the type that best suits their needs.
When purchasing an automotive compressor, ensure you know the specific requirements and what type of compressor would be most suitable.
Consider how much power and pressurised air you require and how it will be stored.
With the right compressor installed and maintained correctly, you can trust that your mechanical and body work tasks will run smoothly and efficiently for many years to come.

Ring RTC Tyre inflator
Bought the tyre inflator because of the unreliable service station tyre inflators.
The buying process online through APD was straightforward. Ordered the tyre inflator late afternoon and received it 2 days later via the Royal mail.
I have a car, campervan and motorbike. I like the wind in cable feature keeps everything neat and tidy. The inflator is easy to use on all three vehicles. Appreciated the chocolate.
Very quick despatch and delivery time
Good updates. Items exactly as described. All fitted and car back on the road.
Personally I found them to be very...
helpful response to emails relating to my purchase was within the hour and they offered the best price on the parts I needed had to wait a couple of days longer than usual due to the parts that I needed was out of stock (but I was made aware of this before ordering) would happily use them again.
Very helpful company.
I ordered a cabin filter on their website which was out of stock. They contacted me by email & offered a replacement which wasn't really what I wanted so they immediately sent a refund. I found another that was suitable, they happily ordered it for me and called me when it arrived in my local store to collect.
Helpful people giving great service
The Wiper blades I ordered were competitively priced and promptly delivered. Unfortunately there was an issue with the fitment and this is where APD showed their commitment to great customer service. They were most helpful in resolving the problem to my complete satisfaction.
