Klarius launches IMI Accredited training for independents
Any garage can apply for the new scheme.

The new Klarius Emission Control Garage Accreditation scheme provides a mixture of professional training, signage and promotional tools, all designed to increase customer confidence in solving exhaust, CAT and DPF related issues.

Paul Hannah, business development director at Klarius, said: “Better knowledge and improved delivery of service are key issues for us when working with our distribution network to ensure independent garage businesses continue to grow and be successful.”

Doug Bentley, Klarius head of R&D and an official course trainer, said: “Emissions products are changing all the time and with legal requirements to fulfil in addition to being familiar with new failure modes and fixes there is a lot to know, even for experienced technicians.

“Being part of the scheme will improve both businesses and staff members alike and ensure that the most professional garage mechanics in the market will have access to the most comprehensive knowledge base in the industry”

Each accredited garage receives a pack that includes an overview document in addition to a certificate of accreditation, diagnostic wall posters, diagnostic desk pads, outdoor signage and professional POS, plus a diary of training courses being run across the country during the year.

Garages also have direct access to live technical support and receive inclusion on the exhaust garage directory website which is designed to help motorists find a garage that can help with diagnosing and solving issues with exhaust systems, CATs and DPFs.

To qualify, garages must demonstrate that they meet a standard of service already, this includes an assessment visit to check on basic aspects such as site cleanliness and provision for a customer waiting area and public toilets.

The business must also operate a policy of only employing trained mechanics and maintaining a positive and enthusiastic outlook on improving the business and offering a consistently high level of service.
