AIR CON

AIR CON

TOOLS TO GET THE JOB DONE

Air con is not part of the routine service, it is surprisingly common for garages to overlook it in their quest to get the vehicle out the door as quickly as possible. Whilst this increases the turnover of vehicles in and out, you could be missing out on a strong source of revenue by not offering it as part of your services. Did you know? Air con checks and gas top ups are recommended to be done annually, allowing you to coincide this with regular 12-month services and MOTs. 18 million vehicles have air con systems installed, and 95% of new registrations include it as standard – so there’s a big opportunity to be had. The benefits of offering annual checks include:

Test and repair Air con is so much more than just basic re-gassing. Do you know what to do... ■ ... When a car comes in with no refrigerant present in the system? ■ ... When it is evident there is a leak on the system and component replacement is required? Basic leak testing and performance tooling should be used at the initial stage of inspection to see the efficiency of the system. This can help save time rather than re-gassing and filing a vacuum leak check. D440A Techno Tools R134a/ HFO1234YF Gas Leak Detector 254770180

Handheld Waterproof Thermometer 253770290 ■ A small purchase for a significant return in revenue. Purchasing this mastercool thermometer could lead to opportunities for re-gasing your customers air conditioning system. Put the thermometer in the centre vent and read what temp it is blowing out. It doesn’t tell you that you must re-gas but as a technician you should be able to look at the reading and tell that it needs one. If it is only blowing 10 degrees, you know it will be able to be lower than that with a re-gas.

Remember due diligence is vital - a vacuum leak check is not definitive. The last thing anyone wants is a car returning to the workshop with the same fault. Further diagnostic tools for establishing leaks on the system can generate additional revenue through required repairs, saving valuable time in getting to the root cause. And at LKQ Euro Car Parts, we have the have the tools for you to get the job done.

■ Increased revenue streams for your workshop ■ Minimal technician hands on time

■ Avoids subcontracting the work out to another garage ■ Increased customer satisfaction and retention.

Return on investment Investing in an air con machine will pay for itself in a matter of months and give you an additional continuous revenue stream for your workshop.

BATTERIES

Every third vehicle entering the workshop could require a new battery By testing every battery, you are keeping your customers moving It’s recommended that workshops should be performing a battery test on all vehicles coming in for any kind of maintenance. Due to lockdown many vehicles won't have visited a workshop for a long period of time, so it's important for technicians to perform a battery test as part of the usual service. 40% of national breakdowns occur from a direct result of battery failure. Accurate testing can identify batteries in a poor condition and could result in a new battery being fitted, keeping your customers happy and on the road. When you look at the power a battery is required to provide on modern vehicles, it's understandable to see why a more robust battery is required. Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) and Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) have been designed for the increasing electrical demands placed on the battery and fitting a traditional flooded battery will not provide the output needed for the start-stop function or cope with the additional vehicle starts. In addition, more complex vehicle systems such as infotainment screens, smartphone interface and wi-fi output are all commonplace on the latest vehicles. AGM and EFB batteries are designed for the modern vehicle with complex technology. When replacing a battery, it is vital that the correct type of battery technology is fitted to the vehicle. EFB AGM

■ Genuine OE quality ■ Three year guarantee ■ Long battery life and cycle stability ■ Highest safety features.

■ Genuine OE quality ■ Three year guarantee ■ Latest calcium technology ■ Sealed maintenance free.

■ Genuine OE quality ■ Four year guarantee ■ Longer life span compared to other brands ■ Latest calcium technology ■ Sealed maintenance free.

■ Genuine OE quality ■ Four year guarantee ■ Longer life span compared to other brands ■ Latest calcium technology ■ Sealed maintenance free.

Not all testers are created equal The challenge is that all battery testers will give a result when testing – good, bad, recharge and retest. Even a tester that is not capable or designed to work with stop start batteries will falsely give a ‘good’ result. When a tester is used that doesn’t have a separate search for battery type AGM and EFB it basically passes it as “good”. Because the algorithm in the tester is incapable of reading the different battery technology of stop start vehicles. It then tests the battery within its own pre-set parameters for standard batteries. The vehicle now has a "healthy test report", leaving the workshop only to breakdown shortly afterwards due to the battery tester incapability, producing a false report.

Oil filters should always be changed according to the vehicle manufacturers recommended service interval. Oil within the average engine has a capacity of 4.5 litres and is filtered approximately 240 times per hour while the car is running. LKQ Euro Car Parts only supply the highest quality of oil filters. All our filters comply with current block exemption regulation standards. Here are some useful dos and don’ts to bear in mind when fitting oil filters: Spin-on filters Do Remove the old oil filter sealing ring from the mounting face Ensure the mounting face on the engine is clean and free from any damage Make sure the centre threaded adapter is fitted correctly and undamaged Cartridge (paper element) filter Do Make sure the old seal has been removed from the groove in the filter housing ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

Ensure the filter housing has been thoroughly cleaned Inspect for burns or sharp edges, ensuring there are none on the filter housing Make sure the correct sealing ring is fitted, if more than one is supplied Tighten according to the engine/vehicle manufacturers instructions. Don’t Re-use old sealing rings Fit damaged filters Overtighten the centre blot. ✓ ✓ ✗ ✗ ✗

DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE FUEL FILTER

Petrol and diesel fuel systems incorporate fuel pump and injectors which are very costly to repair or replace. Changing these filters on a regular basis can prove to be more cost effective. The rule of thumb is to change them every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Petrol injection systems are particularly sensitive to dirty fuel, the contaminants will cause serious wear of some of the injection system components. Diesel filters are also very important as they have to protect the fuel pump and injectors from abrasive particles and droplets of water often found in diesel. So, it could be costly for your customer if it’s forgotten.

There are many reasons for changing the vehicle cabin filter on a regular basis It's rare that a cabin filter is changed during a routine workshop visit, however it must be changed annually, or at 12,000 miles. It is rare that the cabin filter is changed during routine visits to the workshop. Many motorists aren't aware that their vehicle is fitted with a cabin filter. In traffic, an unhealthy mixture of fine dust, diesel soot, pollen, ozone, exhaust gases and other harmful substances builds up. Cabin filters remove virtually 100% of these particles and gases before high concentrations can enter the passenger compartment via the ventilation system. Consistent filtration performance is maintained throughout the service interval. These filters create a pleasant and healthy atmosphere inside the car. Particularly for children, people with allergies and asthmatics, protecting all vehicle occupants. Health and wellbeing is at the top of everyone's agenda right now - and rightly so. Thinking about the air you breathe in your vehicle, may be something your customers currently take for granted. There are three types of cabin filters which can be fitted depending on the customer’s specific vehicle and requirements. https://omnipart.eurocarparts.com/omnihub/garage-services/air-conditioning/changing-cabin-filters-a-customer- opportunity Pollen Active carbon filters Anti-bacteria filters Protect the vehicle occupants from

Brake pads and discs are always replaced in pairs to make sure the brake system can work properly. The same approach must be used for suspension components as they can’t function correctly if replaced in singles. You can increase your revenue when replacing in pairs.

The risks Replacing springs in pairs is not only best practice but also puts the customers safety first. By replacing singularly you run the risk of the following issues: ■ Less responsive steering ■ Increased braking distances ■ Reduced levels of comfort when driving ■ Increased tyre wear ■ Increased levels of cost in the long run, having to replace further down the line could then cost more with further damage ■ Vehicle imbalance as one side of the vehicle is higher than the other.

ARE YOU CHECKING YOUR CUSTOMERS CAR FOR ADBLUE?

Many diesel cars registered after September 2015 use AdBlue to reduce emissions. In general, if you own a Euro 6-compliant diesel Audi, BMW, Citroën, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz or Peugeot, it's likely to use AdBlue technology. Every time a car comes into your garage you can increase your revenue and provide an additional service to your customers by checking their adblue is topped up. Advise your customers the importance of not letting the AdBlue tank dry and to fill their tank in good time before it's empty. If the tank does run dry, it will not be possible to start the engine after it is switched off and the only way to restart the car after the tank has been run dry is to refill with AdBlue of the specified quality, minimum three litres.
