Autocraft: the importance of AC servicing
In the transport industry, climate control is far more than driver comfort, says Autocraft Equipment – it is a critical factor in operator fatigue management and cab environment safety.
“For workshops managing HGVs, PSVs and LCVs the reliability of air conditioning systems is paramount,” said the company, which is approaching its 40th anniversary.
“With the warmer months fast approaching, now is the time to maximise your opportunity and add air con servicing to your arsenal. Not all workshops offer this service, but it is something that could provide you with an opportunity to increase revenue and customer retention for minimal hands-on technician time. You could start to see a return on your investment immediately.
“In the UK F-Gas compliance is a legal mandate but, in the transport industry it could also be regarded as a safety standard. At Autocraft Equipment we sell, service, train and support the equipment we offer with comprehensive on-site IMI certificated training. Our training will ensure your technicians are competent in understanding the nuances of high-pressure systems, oil injection quantities and leak detection methods.”
Annual servicing is essential to maintain calibration accuracy and smooth reliable operation of the machine, says Autocraft.
“Lack of servicing could lead to over or under charging a vehicle’s system, potentially leading to compressor failure or poor cooling performance which in effect could lead to costly repairs and missing out on potential servicing business for your workshop.
“This is why we recommend annual servicing. Not having your equipment serviced and calibrated could also invalidate your insurance policy.”
Autocraft says it can deliver expert support and advice, and supply the whole range of workshop equipment with national coverage.
