AVA argues that more workshops should see A/C servicing as a viable revenue stream.
As the air conditioning season comes into view, AVA presents workshops with a great package that provides them with an optimised range that combines performance and value, alongside easy installation.
Sadly, despite its revenue generating potential, A/C remains a somewhat underperforming sector within the aftermarket, but as a thermal management, and subsequently an A/C specialist, AVA is keen to help workshops with a well balanced mix of competitive pricing, good quality and optimised coverage, alongside useful A/C advice and training.
Sound Advice
AVA is keen to remind workshops that most problems within the cooling or A/C circuit can directly influence the performance of the entire system, which means the complete circuit should always be inspected before simply replacing a part, or topping up the system.
If an A/C compressor fails internally, for example, metal particles can spread throughout the whole system and these contaminants may then clog components such as the condenser or expansion valve, leading to repeated failures, if the system is not properly flushed and cleaned.
Reminding them to follow a thorough inspection approach is, therefore, a helpful tip to allow them to complete a reliable and long-lasting A/C repair.
A/C Training
Due to the general lack of A/C knowledge in the market, especially when it comes to making the correct diagnosis, AVA is primarily focused on basic A/C training in order to support its factor customers to provide essential A/C knowledge to their connected workshops, which enables technicians to carry out accurate and efficient analysis, to make a successful repair.
The training covers the fundamental principles of temperature and pressure based diagnostics, helping technicians identify faults in a structured and practical way. Clear explanations and hands on tips ensure that the knowledge can be directly applied in daily workshop activities.
AVA also addresses important topics such as the proper way to flush the A/C system during repairs, which is essential for undertakings like compressor replacement.
The training is offered to workshops via its factor customers and can be provided either onsite or online.
Clever Fit Concept
Another selling point is the fact that alongside its optimised range offering quality, convenience and reliability, AVA recognises that workshops need solutions that provide them with ease of installation and maximum efficiency. As a result, it developed the Clever Fit Concept, which makes lives easier by ensuring seamless and hassle free product installation, because everything required to make the repair is included in the box.
To date there are almost 1,100 Clever Fit Concept A/C products in range, with more on the way, and every product undergoes strict fitment checks to ensure a seamless fit, in a wide range of vehicles. Whether it’s a compressor, condenser or receiver drier, AVA guarantees compatibility and optimal performance, reducing the risk of returns and mismatches. This means that workshops can trust that every product meets the correct industry standards, which is also great news for the end user.
