Driving Sales: Leak Detection

July 21, 2014

What type of leak detection does your shop work on?

“I deal with a lot of oil leaks and coolant leaks. I do pressure testing for coolant leaks.”

“We use dye on all systems along with an electronic sniffer, The dye is very useful in finding those leaks too small to track down with a sniffer.”

“The number one source of all leaks are the service ports, compressor body and EVAP cores, followed up by hose leaks.”

Think about this:

Stock accessories for leak detection systems and smoke machines, such as baby oil or mineral oil, to have on-hand for technicians in a pinch.

Keep UV dyes displayed near your workstation for quick buys at check-out.

NOTES: Will be two separate quotation boxes in section.

For second bolded section, replace "We Asked Techs" with "Think About This:"
