Investing in an Air Conditioning machine

Because 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 garage’s repertoire.

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 including it as standard – so there’s a big opportunity to be had.

The benefits of offering annual checks include:

Increased revenue streams for your workshop
Minimal technician hands on time
Avoid 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.
