ClickMechanic urges technicians to prepare for winter
Car heater repair requests tend to spike in January.

ClickMechanic – the UK’s market leading platform that connects car owners who need repairs, servicing and inspections to the UK’s best mobile mechanics –  advises that as soon as temperatures drop technicians should expect a shift away from air conditioning repairs towards heater repairs.

Typically, heater blower and heater matrix repairs pick up slowly in September, with customers trying to beat the winter repair rush.

Come November requests for these type of jobs triple, at a time when the cold really sets in, as customers often only notice heater issues at this point.

Heaters will, for example, fail to demist their windows or will not heat up the cabin adequately.

Interestingly, the biggest hike in requests for thermal management repairs comes in January, when car owners are far more likely to request quotes for heater blower motors and heater matrix issues than in any other month.

ClickMechanic advises technicians to prepare for such jobs in autumn, by re-familiarising themselves with diagnosing heater problems and getting the right tools.

With some cars requiring the dismantling of the dashboard, heater repairs can be complex, making it important to be aware of what’s involved to avoid getting stuck on a job.

Taking the time to prepare means that industry professionals are able to maximise their income from these type of repairs in the autumn and winter months.
