Fort Smith, Arkansas – October 19, 2026 – Cloyes today announced the launch of Ask Shop Masters, an AI-powered assistant that gives automotive professionals easier access to Cloyes and Rotomaster product and technical information. 

Currently available on Shopmasters.org and Rotomaster.com, Ask Shop Masters helps professional technicians, shop owners, parts professionals, and installers find answers to product, application, installation, and troubleshooting questions.  

The assistant was developed in partnership with AnswerMyQ. Unlike general-purpose AI tools that search the open internet, Ask Shop Masters draws from Cloyes and Rotomaster product knowledge and technical resources. Users can ask a question and quickly access relevant product pages, installation videos, instruction sheets, and other supporting materials. 

“Technicians and service writers working in the shop do not need another place to search. They need an easier way to find reliable information and get back to the repair,” said Jeff Cook, Chief Marketing and Product Development Officer at Cloyes. “Ask Shop Masters puts Cloyes and Rotomaster knowledge at their fingertips, 24 hours a day. It is a tested and reliable extension of the technical expertise and support our customers already rely on.” 

When additional assistance is needed, Ask Shop Masters directs users to the appropriate Cloyes or Rotomaster contact information or customer support team. 

Ask Shop Masters is designed to make technical and product information easier to find while helping automotive professionals spend less time searching across multiple resources. It also gives customers a direct starting point for common questions such as identifying the correct product, locating installation instructions or finding related repair information. 

Customers can try Ask Shop Masters now at www.shopmasters.org and www.rotomaster.com. 

Stop searching. Just ask.
