Are you ready for t

Checking a vehicle’s air con is easy if you have the right tools in place, but the initial investment in the right machinery can put some people off. It might actually be more cost effective than you think. For most machines, the typical payback period is just three months. To put this into perspective, this would be the equivalent of completing two re-gas jobs per week over the course of those three weeks. Given the current circumstances and many idle vehicles coming out of their lockdown hibernations – this should be more than achievable over the next few months. With the change in weather and increased temperatures on their way, it’s best not to leave customers with a surprise when it comes to turning systems on in the spring/summer heat. Testing systems isn’t always something that every garage offers, so can help set you apart when it comes to going the extra mile for your customers.

If buying is not for you, why not lease your unit with confidence?
