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.
