The chances of a vehicle pulling up outside your garage with the
new HFO-1234yf refrigerant in its air conditioning (AC) unit are fast
increasing so you need to make sure you’re ready to service it.
However, this doesn’t mean you can forget about its predecessor,
R134a, just yet.
Experts predict that vehicles requiring the R134a refrigerant will be in
the marketplace for at least another decade. So, what does this mean
for you? Put simply, if you haven’t done so already, you should invest
in a new air conditioning machine fitted with the latest technology
capable of servicing HFO-1234yf to the highest of standards.
It may also be the right time to replace your existing R134a machine.
Or if you’re currently outsourcing AC servicing because you don’t
have the right machine at your garage, consider purchasing one for
the first time. This will ensure you avoid turning away loyal customers
and will enable you to maximise revenue streams.
While some older cars might not be equipped with AC units, it’s
more or less a given in new cars. Identifying the right AC machines to
enable your garage to service them effectively is an area that needs
your full attention. A popular choice for smaller outfits is the ECK
Twin. With two machines in one unit to service both refrigerant types,
this option offers excellent value for money.
AC is not part of a routine vehicle service. Consequently, it often
becomes an after-thought despite manufacturers recommending that
the system should be serviced every 12 months.
While many of your customers will see AC as invaluable, skimped
maintenance could be at the detriment of the car’s health, resulting
in costly repairs. Taking the opportunity to remind your customers of
this and encouraging them to have their AC serviced with you every
12 months will result in increased repeat business and customers
who feel valued.
To keep your AC machines in top working order, you should consider
purchasing the following accessories: Refrigerant, PAG oils, UV dye
and vacuum pump oil for routine maintenance. A thermometer, sniffer
and UV torch for performance checks and finding leaks
Nitrogen kits and the Marksman ll for more advanced leak finding.
They are easy to use and
will pinpoint any leak of anti-bacterial treatments.
Finally, anybody using an R134a machine must hold an F-Gas
certificate. It’s the law. Speak to a member of the Euro Car Part team
who all have an in-depth knowledge of the various machines on offer
and the accessories needed for their respective up-keep
