As we approach the EOFY, many vehicle repair businesses are looking at their workshop equipment

At this time of year, workshops are often considering whether to replace or update their equipment so they can improve safety and productivity and also claim some tax deduction advantages.
“The key to making good equipment purchasing decisions involves selecting those items that will significantly enhance operating efficiency without breaking the bank,” Natrad Trade National Marketing Manager, Andrew Mitchell, said.
“Any equipment that provides extra safety, delivers time-saving, or expands your capabilities should be high on the list. Natrad Trade offers a variety of equipment to assist business operators, and you might be surprised at how attractive their prices are.”
One type of equipment which should be considered is Refrigerant Refill Stations – fully automatic A/C machines which are designed with advanced technology to ensure precise handling of refrigerants – eliminating the guesswork often associated with traditional re-gassing methods.
Included in the line-up of refrigerant refill stations from Natrad Trade are the Valeo ClimFill, Ariazone’s 5001FAHDB Refrigerant Recovery and Recharge machine, and Thinkcar’s Thinktool Master X2.
The Valeo ClimFill features ‘ClimFill Lock’ which uses eco-patented couplers to avoid loss of refrigerant and to prevent outside air from entering the station’s tank or vehicle’s air conditioning system. It features automatic refrigerant recovery and injection; oil weighing, recovery and injection; UV dye injection, and hose compensation.
Ariazone’s 5001FAHDB Refrigerant Recovery and Recharge machine is a fully automatic charging station suitable for servicing R134a A/C systems in passenger and light commercial vehicles, plus trucks and minibuses. It features an on-board database with over 1500 car and truck references allow the user to find proper charging weights and lubricant types and easy connection to a PC or laptop is possible by use of a USB port.
Thinkcar’s flagship Thinktool Master X2 is a 10.1-inch touchscreen, Android based advanced diagnostic tablet with 128GB memory and Thinklink VCI supporting the latest DoIP, D-PDU, CAN FD vehicle communication protocols. It features the powerful full function system diagnostic with Thinkcar’s newly developed video remote technology.

Special savings available this May
Andrew says Natrad Trade account customers interested in Valeo’s ClimFill Pro RRR (R134A), Ariazone’s 5001FAHDB or the Thinktool Master X2 should watch out for some “crazy-good prices” that will be offered in May with savings on some items set to exceed $1,000.
