Are you testing every battery that enters your workshop?

If not, then you’re missing out on a huge profit opportunity…

Testing the health of a customer’s battery is paramount to keeping their vehicle on the road. By automatically testing every vehicle you see, you’ll be taking your customer service to the ‘next level’. Whether you’re informing customers that they can rest easy that their battery is in good health, or giving them the opportunity to update their failing battery before they leave your workshop – both outcomes will have a positive impact on our workshop’s reputation, and increase your chances of repeat custom. Testing batteries can give you the opportunity of an additional revenue stream

Why not test customers’ batteries when they are booked in for a service?

One in three vehicles entering your workshop could require a new battery.

Three out of four customers would purchase and replace a battery the same day.

It should take no longer than 10 minutes to check a standard lead battery.

40% of national breakdowns occur from a direct result of battery failure.

Start-Stop technology Going back only a couple of years, the majority of vehicles on the road were fitted with a standard lead acid battery. Fast forward to next year, it is expected that 61% of vehicles in the car parc will feature a Start-Stop system. In just 15 years, the number of cars with start-stop systems is expected to rise from 1% to 61%.
