Running a garage in the UK has many challenges, including balancing exceptional service with prompt and thorough repairs. Technicians work on an endless number of vehicles each day, each with wildly different specifications.
One important asset that can help you and your team is our automotive technical data. It helps technicians diagnose and repair vehicles quickly. Not only will this keep your garage running optimally, but it will also keep customers happy and returning.
We created VGM, our garage management software, to simplify running a busy workshop. Keep reading to learn our top nine reasons why you and your team should consider using VGM’s technical data tools.
- Enhanced Accuracy and Efficiency
Garages need to provide efficient service while ensuring the utmost accuracy. This is especially important when working on a wide range of vehicles from an endless list of manufacturers.
Technical data for cars can give you instant access to precise vehicle specifications, wiring diagrams, and maintenance schedules. This data comes straight from the manufacturer. This means you and your customers can trust that you provide consistent and accurate services.
This data helps eliminate guesswork and will allow you to service vehicles faster and more accurately.
- Commitment-Free Flexibility
Many garages are wary of long-term service contracts, that’s why all our offerings are on one-month-rolling contracts. With our commitment-free vehicle technical data, your garage remains flexible.
If your business needs change, you can cancel the package simply and re-add it when the need arises. This flexibility enables you to better manage costs while improving efficiency.
- Make Repairs Quicker
Diagnosing vehicle issues can often be time-consuming. Having detailed automotive technical data at your fingertips simplifies the process. This data helps mechanics find problems quickly.
It includes fault codes and repair procedures, reducing diagnostic time and boosting productivity. In turn, this enhances your garage’s reputation for reliability.
- Accurately Quote Work
Remove the guesswork in pricing repair jobs. Use a complete list of repair times. This list includes mechanical, electrical, and body repairs.
With automotive technical data, you can seamlessly add these repair times directly to quotes and jobsheets within VGM. This streamlines your admin processes for faster and more accurate pricing.
- Quickly Access Wiring Diagrams
For electrical issues, having reliable and easily accessible diagrams is crucial. Solve electrical issues faster with precise wiring diagrams that offer a clear view of the vehicle’s electrical system. These diagrams show the layout of wires, parts, and connections.
- Step-by-Step Repair Guides
Access detailed, vehicle-specific guides that walk your mechanics through the repair process. These step-by-step instructions make it easy to replace parts and do complex repairs. They help create smoother workflows, save time, and improve service quality.
- Manufacturer Service Schedules
Maintain your customers’ vehicles to the highest standards by accessing manufacturer-specific service and maintenance schedules. This ensures your garage follows best practices for each vehicle, helping to preserve vehicle longevity and customer satisfaction.
- Better Customer Experience
Expert knowledge can help you provide consistent and reliable service to your customers. Accessing automotive technical data ensures your garage offers transparent services, leading to improved customer confidence and retention. Your mechanics can confidently explain vehicle issues and will be able to offer realistic repair times and costs.
- Staying Competitive in the Industry
As the automotive industry continues to evolve, keeping up with the latest technology is essential. Garages that don’t have access to car technical data risk falling behind competitors. That’s why we have created VGM – to allow you to stay ahead by delivering faster and more efficient service.
