Improve Workshop Throughput

A1 working with workshops to navigate diagnostic issues and save money

 

A1 ADAS Solutions and A1 Remote Diagnostics, part of the A1 Group, are returning to the Mechanex-PMM Live show on Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 November at Sandown Park, Surrey.

The A1 Group, which is fast becoming the aftermarket’s go-to partner for diagnostic and ADAS solutions, will be on hand with its trademark honest advice to help garages improve workshop throughput and save money.

Operations director, Adam Molloy, says A1 Remote Diagnostics will be showcasing a range of products to help workshops navigate ongoing problems with access, programming and coding.

One of its solutions is the A1 Remote Mega Bundle, the first ever complete package of products needed to perform remote diagnostic work. It includes everything from the interface, mobile router and cables, to the GYS battery support unit and SIM card.

The mega bundle, which is essentially a plug-and-go package, aims to make life simpler and quicker for time-strapped garages. Following delivery, workshops can set it up and be coding and programming in less than 10 minutes.

Molloy said: “We’re seeing an increase in garages asking A1 Remote Diagnostics to step in because their own diagnostic equipment can’t access the main dealer tool for a specific make and model.

“No diagnostic product on the market has 100 percent access, so that’s where we come in. We bridge that gap. Our dealer trained techs are on hand to complete the work remotely via an interface.

“It’s saving garages a lot of money, and the difference in workshop throughout is huge. We have customers turning jobs around in 15 minutes instead of 15 days.

“With a one-off cost for an inexpensive interface, and A1 Remote techs on the other end of the line, the idea of sending a vehicle out to the main dealer suddenly seems crazy!”

A1 will have a team on stand C6 at Mechanex-PMM Live to offer visitors impartial advice about diagnostic and ADAS equipment and services, as well as general garage equipment.

Its A1 Remote Mega Bundle deal will also be available to purchase at a time-limited offer price of £999 (plus VAT).

Mechanex-PMM Live is open 12-13 November from 10am-4pm. Entry and parking are completely free. To register for a ticket, go to https://mechanex.info/
