Why SAAS
Not only were SAAS the first, but they have remained a leader in their field for the better part of a century. Even though the company has changed hands more than once, SAAS has not lost focus on what made it so relevant to the marketplace. Today, SAAS remains undisputedly Australia's leading producer of racing, street and classic steering wheels, and has grown its coverage of the Australian automotive landscape to encompass over 1000 products.
While other brands may seem to match SAASs selection in one or more areas, none can hold a candle to them when you pull back and survey the entirely of SAASs catalogue. Their exceptional commitment to quality and safety is also evidenced by the lengths they go to in ensuring what they sell not only looks the goods but is appropriately safe and of a suitable quality to ensure you’re furnished with the best possible product for the price. We’re not aware of anyone else spending the exorbitant sums required to have so many seats and steering wheels sent to Adelaide for compliance testing, and we aren’t quite sure how they’re able to price their ADR approved gear so affordably either, especially when there are so few comparable alternatives out there. What we do know however is that SAAS has long known the recipe for success and that they aren’t likely to forget it any time soon.
