Automotive aftermarket brand NAPA has partnered with popular UK-based automotive content creator Shifting Metal, led by host Joe Betty. This collaboration sees the launch of a compelling new video series featuring the restoration and repair of a repossessed 2018 Mercedes A-Class. 

Shifting Metal, a YouTube channel with over 129,000 subscribers along with a growing presence on Instagram and TikTok, offers engaging automotive content focused on vehicle repairs and modifications. In this new video, Joe takes on the challenge of reviving a “non-runner” Mercedes purchased at auction, a car with slashed tires and no keys, working to get it back on the road and MOT-ready. 

NAPA proudly sponsored the first video in the series, supplying a comprehensive range of parts and consumables to support the repair journey. Products provided include front and rear braking components (pads, discs, calipers), braking accessories and maintenance items, filters for cabin, fuel, oil, and air, engine oil, battery, headlight bulbs, screen wash, coolant, and various diesel maintenance products such as AdBlue. 

All materials were supplied by NAPA Auto Parts Weston-Super-Mare branch, and thanks to Branch Manager Michael and his team, the Shifting Metal team received seamless delivery and support throughout the project. 

This exciting collaboration highlights NAPA’s commitment to supporting automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike, providing quality parts and expertise to empower vehicle restoration and maintenance efforts.
