How to Benefit From AC Servicing

With the hottest summer on record, it's time to invest in AC services 

With the recent surge in hot weather, AC is a luxury that the majority of us rely on to keep us cool and comfortable behind the wheel. 

Under normal circumstances, drivers will probably not notice a dip in performance from their AC system, but when temperatures rise above the norm, they’re more likely to notice the lack of a cool breeze, this is when customers will make a booking to fix AC system faults. 

So, as a garage owner, now is the time you need to capitalise on this to generate revenue for your workshop with almost no additional labour requirements. 

 

  

A vehicle’s air conditioning system requires servicing and recharging every couple of years, to keep it in peak working order, so drivers can stay cool and comfortable when the temperatures go up. Ensuring your customers know this will enable you to upsell and deliver an impeccable service. 

Over time, air conditioning systems do become less effective when their levels of refrigerant naturally run low, and this is when you can step in to drive additional revenue without too much additional effort. 

Take advantage of the opportunity to offer air conditioning checks to your customers with their routine services and offer preventative maintenance as well as the ability to provide a quick AC fix and get your customers back on the road in comfort. 

Using one of Sun’s KoolKare range of air conditioning servicing units takes just 90 seconds to get set up – from connecting the unit and identifying the vehicle and inputting any additional data required. 

It’s just a case of pushing the ‘start’ button and allowing the machine to work its magic. The Dual Gas 12, is  the most popular model in the KoolKare range – Which has the ability to service both R134A and R1234YR refrigerants, offering a complete solution for all passenger vehicles. 

 

How the Dual Gas 12 can earn you money 

 

  • The Dual Gas 12 is a fully automatic recovery and recycling unit with automatic taps so you can just set up the recycling procedure and leave it to run while you deal with other jobs in the workshop. No more operator input is required until the end of the procedure. 

 

  • This all means that while you are working and earning money, your air conditioning servicing unit is doing just that at the same time – so your revenue is going up despite your workload barely increasing at all. 

 

  • Average charges for air conditioning recycle in the UK vary, but from our research, we find you can easily charge £50 for the procedure – so the opportunity for increased revenue is high.

Additionally, offering AC check-ups as part of routine servicing gives customers peace of mind that all is in order with their Air Conditioning System and a value-added extra to your service. 

The Dual Gas 12 can service hybrid cars and can also be further upgraded with KoolKlean, a revolutionary purification system that cleans and sanitises the vehicle, eliminating any bad odours, such as cigarette smoke and eradicates odour causing bacteria that build up over time in the cool, damp conditions within the AC system  The Dual Gas 12 is yet another way for a workshop to satisfy the needs of the vehicle owner and increase a garage’s revenue.
