Do-it-yourself air conditioning service - a certain saving in uncertain times

Leszek Marcinkowski, Dział Wyposażenia Warsztatów Autos

Reducing the cost of running a business has now become a priority for many entrepreneurs. Galloping inflation increases the prices of not only goods but also services. This situation encourages the search for alternative, cheaper solutions for basic maintenance activities performed periodically in trucks.

Certainly, in the long term, the best solution is to increase independence in servicing cars. However, in order to achieve this, investment in appropriate workshop equipment is necessary.

What to invest in first when you already have a lot of basic tools?

A great example of properly managed funds is the purchase of an air conditioning service station . The prices of such machines are currently growing at a slower pace than the prices of services provided by them. In addition, taking into account seasonal queues to specialists in the so-called "klimy", the purchase of your own machine will quickly turn out to be a bull's-eye. No need to drive to the service center or wait for the arrival of a mobile specialist means further savings and unparalleled comfort. In short: an investment in an air-conditioning station will pay off faster than you might initially think.

How can you be sure that the purchase of the station is a good investment and savings in the future?

The cheapest air conditioning service stations cost less than PLN 10,000 net (so we can "throw the entire purchase" into the costs of our business). If we divide the remaining amount by the cost of a one-time air conditioning service in our vehicle, it is easy to calculate that the device will pay for itself after about 30-35 services. After that, we only have profit!

Choosing the right device and its operation.

Since it became clear that it is worth buying an air conditioning service station, the only thing left is to choose the right device. The Autos offer includes equipment from the world's best manufacturers, such as SUN or WAECO. All machines can operate fully automatically, which greatly facilitates operation. In this situation, the mechanic's role is limited to selecting the make and model of the serviced vehicle and pressing the START button.

The principles of working with air conditioning systems are always meticulously described by Autos specialists during the training on how to use the device in the customer's workshop. Formal issues related to the refrigerant can also be overcome without any problems thanks to periodically organized training, after which the mechanic acquires the appropriate qualifications.

For more information, please contact your nearest Autos store. Specialists from the Garage Equipment Department will be happy to help you choose the right solutions and provide professional after-sales service.
