Suspension and suspension testers are a very big part of any workshop’s services. As a workshop owner, it is your job not only to test and fix your client’s suspension but also to advise them about the warning signs involved when it comes to vehicle suspension. Your clients should come to you for vehicle suspension testing if:
Car Rides Roughly
If a vehicle starts riding a lot more roughly than it usually does, this could be an indicator of a variety of issues, but more often than not, it is suspension.
Pulling During Turns
If a client’s car is pulling or even drifting while turning and going around corners, this could definitely put them in danger as it indicates a lack of control. Pulling and drifting around corners is also usually a sure indicator that the vehicle may be experiencing suspension issues.
Dips When Stopping
When a car experiences a ‘dip’ or a nosedive when stopping or pressing the brakes, this usually means that the shocks have been worn out and a visit to the workshop is in order.
Uneven Tyres
Ask your clients to regularly check their tyres. If tyres on one half of the car are not the same as the other side, this means that there is probably some damage with regards to the suspension of the vehicle.
Damaged, Oily Shocks
Clients can also inspect their own shocks to see if they look damaged or oily so that they know when it is time to make an appointment with you. Prevention is truly better than cure when it comes to shocks and the suspension of a vehicle.
Investing in the right suspension tester can really help you increase productivity and save time. Some of the modern suspension testers on the market are truly designed to make the life of a workshop owner easier.
