Test to earn this winter The changing MOT pattern presents a huge opportunity for your workshop this winter Test every vehicle that comes into the workshop September onwards will see a shift in the traditional MOT season due to the 6 month extension imposed by the government last year. This means the traditional curve has changed shape and you should see more MOTs booked between now and the end of the year. Because of this, your workshop will see more vehicles during this period than ever before. With cars on your ramps, use this as an opportunity to test every battery that enters your workshop. Not every car will need a battery replaced, but the statistics show though that it could be as high as 1 in 3 vehicles. By testing, you’ve created another benefit for the customer and your workshop. Present your findings good or bad, if it’s good news, it’s a customer service win. If it’s not, it means that the customer has the choice to replace or decline, with 3 out of 4 customers usually taking up the offer of replacement. Checking should take no more than 10 minutes with a standard lead acid battery.
