Fuel System Cleaning (FSTU)
Why is this service needed? Carbon gradually forms on tips of injectors (.001 inch) This is from low grade fuels, fuel fractionation, PCV and EGR vapors Performance, emissions and fuel economy suffer Cost of replacing injectors (parts and labor)  Price vs. Cost Clean  Dirty
Why is this service needed? Carbon gradually deposits on the back of the intake valves Comes from fuel, PCV and EGR Soaks up fuel, reduces air flow  Performance, emissions and economy suffer Thermally stable volatiles Clean  Dirty
Why is this service needed Carbon forms in the throttle body and on the throttle plate Comes from PCV and EGR Causes rough idle, hesitation and hard starting AITC
 
How do I sell this service Start with a complete inspection Use the AMRA news release letter Show and tell – swipe the throttle plate with a Q-tip Ask open ended questions – When was the last time you had your fuel system serviced? Relate it to cleaning a barbeque grill, having a cold or allergies that restrict breathing etc. Fuel economy, performance, emissions restoration
Cooling System Service (CSFN)
Cooling system service The cooling system is probably the most neglected system in a vehicle.  Engine coolant deteriorates over a period of time, losing its ability to protect cooling system components against rust, corrosion, and scale deposits.  The resulting scale deposits can seriously impair the effectiveness of the cooling system. Unfortunately, some drivers neglect this service. Cooling system failure is the number #3 (# 1 is running out of gas #2 flat tire) cause of mechanical breakdown on the highway. Coolant protects the two most costly components in the vehicle: the engine and transmission
COOLANT Remember that “DEXCOOL” is recommended to be changed after  five  years or 100,000 miles whichever comes first Also remember you coolant needs to be mixed with water
How do I sell this service Start with a thorough inspection Use coolant test strips Use database for OE recommendation Buzz words –  When coolant ages it turns into an acid and rots the system from the inside out We recommend changing it for PM to prevent this damage before it begins to occur
Transmission Service (ATFC)
Take a moment!
 
TRANSMISSION Pre-checks Check level ,color and smell  If discolored or has a burnt smell suggest maintenance.  However if it is severely burnt or is thick with particulate do not service! Check pan for leakage  Remember Transmission services are maintenance repairs only and  will not fix a problem  i.e.. Slipping ,shuddering or noise complaints. Ask the customer when the last time is they serviced their transmission fluid.
 
How do I sell this service Start with a thorough inspection Look up the manufacturers mileage recommendation.  Remember, most vehicles fall into the severe service interval Before performing the service road test: Check for slippage, shudder, shift quality. Check fluid for leaks and severe contamination Make sure you have the correct fluid before proceeding
Brake Fluid Testing (BAF) Traditional testing method was moisture content and/or visual examination These methods proved to be inaccurate and inconsistent AMRA April 20, 2004 Recommends the use of a test strip that measures copper content for testing during brake system checks
Conference Call Re-Cap John Petty Conference call with QMI associates Product was in development for over six years  Original testing measured moisture (equipment was used to boil the brake fluid and evaluate)  Price concerns from customers: only two labs in the world have the technology to produce the strips they are located in Germany  Strips measurement readings (according to the company owner and creator) are guaranteed for up to three years time  It has been recognized that the longer the strip is left the more accurate the reading  Ford, Chrysler and GM have publicly stated that they will not make any efforts to recognize interval or specifics in their owners manual (Adversely they have endorsed this process as valid in their minds)  Customer asked “Why did the strips show copper three months after a flush?” John’s answer was that the system was not thoroughly flushed and the chamber inside the quick take up master cylinder. He also stated the “vacuum equipment” “is the worst equipment you can use for a brake flush.” He feels a pressured system is a more complete service.  The test strip results and the indicator area are only impacted by copper ions. Moisture only accelerates the indicator tab. Moisture has no relevance on the results.  Currently copper is the only valid industry wide standard for brake fluid failure
 
How do I sell this service Starts with either an inspection or any kind of a brake inspection AMRA letter/Dip Strips Increased longevity of hydraulic brake components Safer/boiling point Easily paired with Brake jobs or as stand alone service
Power Steering Flush (PSFF) One fluid one application!!!
POWER STEERING Like transmission fluid check level , color and smell Watch for silver or black particles in fluid indicating steering rack and/or seal wear Suggest a flush every 24 months or 30K miles Noise from the vehicle while turning may indicate a sales opportunity Driving a Ford
How do I sell this service Suggested service based on technician experience Fluid contamination (white paper test) OE mileage recommendation Research suggests contamination reaches high levels 25 to 30K Anytime a hydraulic component is replaced to maintain part warranty May often will quiet a noisy steering pump
Let’s Recap First and foremost don’t prejudge the customer Ask  every  customer “which oil change would they like?”…point to the mat and wait Use coolant test strips and brake test strips on every car Swab the throttle body and show and tell (AITC) Turkey bestir for power steering, manufacturer’s scheduled timing  (or a Ford) Print the Preventative Maintenance guideline in your Win cat/ Wrench head (plant the seed for the next visit) Recommend based on mileage Dabb Plates (the visual sales aid) Create a firing range (also helps monitor inventory shortages) Educate the Counter Associates Utilize the DVD and the tech line 800-255-8138

  • #44 In my travels, and I sure most of you would agree the biggest opportunity is from inspection to presentation to the customer? If the P.M.A. is even filled our, or the test strips are even used, do you see the counter associate, who was working at the GAP last week, explaining to the customer PPM of copper exceed 200? How does the associate explain reserve alkalinity? My concept above is as follows…. It will be laminated 8 x 11 and placed on the back of every clipboard in the store. Notice the place where the strips are to be placed. At this point the CA hands the test results to the customer and asks “Which flush would you like today?” Very similar to a dessert tray. Very little explanations is needed! The results: Increased inspection percentage (more detailed) Increased strip sales Increased knowledge at store level Increased coolant and brake flush sales Overall increase in TK’s PM business
