Business Opportunities Vehicle Health Checks Keep your appointment book full and your ramps in use

by offering your customers free vehicle checks. Why offer free health checks?

A free vehicle health check helps customers make sure their vehicle is safe whilst also providing potential additional revenue to garages from any urgent repairs or maintenance that are identified during the process. The best part is it only takes around 15 – 20 minutes to complete, so doesn’t eat too much into your working day, and can be easily added to jobs you already have booked in.

Summer May through to September are prime months for you to offer your customers a free summer health check. With staycation holidays expected to remain a popular choice this is the perfect opportunity to get customer vehicles ready for the long drives to their holiday destinations.

Winter Winter is the time of year for battery failures, wipers and antifreeze are in high demand and in car heating is needed more than ever. Offer your customers a free winter health check from October to March and get their vehicles ready for those cold winter months.

Hybrid and electric vehicles A big opportunity for your business…

Only 16% of UK technicians are trained to work on hybrid and EV’s safely. Which is a very small number considering the 90.000 technicians that are needed by 2030 in order to meet the predicted volume of zero emission vehicles. Don’t get left behind when it comes to servicing and repairing hybrid and electric vehicles (EV). Prepare for the change to come and train with LKQ Academy.

Are you offering an Air Con Service? Not all garages offer an air con service but it’s something that could provide you with a unique opportunity if it’s something your competitors don’t. Many new cars on the road will now have air con fitted as standard, so identifying the right air con machine that allows you to service them effectively is an area that needs your full attention. Plus, the return on investment speaks for itself.
