With MOT season well and truly upon us, Ring Automotive is urging technicians to prioritise bulb and battery checks to avoid potential MOT failures for their customers.
As autumn arrives and days get shorter, proper lighting and a reliable battery become even more crucial for safe driving. Ring emphasises that technicians should thoroughly check all vehicle lights, including headlights, side lights, and indicators, during MOT inspections.
To address bulb replacements efficiently, Ring recommends maintaining a stock of various bulb types. Additionally, they suggest offering bulb alignment as a paid service, ensuring correct focus and preventing glare for other drivers. Ring already boasts a vast array of bulbs covering nearly all vehicle models and offers different options like brighter bulbs for enhanced illumination, whiter for a more modern look, and enhanced performance for longer life or faster response.
For batteries, Ring advises technicians to utilise equipment like their new RBAG950 battery analyser. This tool provides a comprehensive health check for batteries, alternators, starters, and vehicle earthing systems across various vehicle types, including motorcycles, cars, and vans.
Beyond the MOT test, Ring encourages workshops to offer battery checks as a value-added service. A simple test can identify potential problems and prevent future breakdowns.
Finally, Ring reminds technicians to advise customers about regular vehicle maintenance, including bulb replacements, tyre checks, battery care, and scheduled servicing to optimise their chances of passing an MOT test.
