Imported cooling system solutions and maintenance

Sponsored by CRP Automotive, the company brings you REIN cars

Have you noticed that many European cars and SUVs no longer have the coolant replacement intervals listed in the service information? This may be because the cooling system needs to be repaired or replaced before this interval. It can be a hose, a plastic connector or a water pump. Your store has options. Some replacement parts may be better than original parts. When dealing with the complexity and longevity of today's vehicles, these parts can create a win-win situation for your store and customers.

These solutions can simplify maintenance and prevent future failures. In a 45-minute webinar sponsored by CRP Automotive, the company that brought you Rein Automotive, we will introduce six common cooling system repairs for BMW, Audi and Volkswagen. These repair solutions will cover more than 6 million cars on the road today.

Should you replace the strut with springs and brackets or the entire strut? This video is sponsored by KYB.

Scenario: shop service desk. Customer approaching service consultant.

Customer: "Hi, Frank, how are you?"

Service consultant: "Very well done, thank you. What will bring you today?"

Customer: "Well, after checking the price of the new truck, I decided to keep my truck. Wow, I was taken aback by the dealer. But the reason I considered replacing it with a new one was because mine just "feeled" old. I I don’t like its rough, noisy driving and poor control. And, because of this, I’m a little worried about pulling the trailer again. I think maybe you can give me some suggestions so I can do something to make it a good one. s Choice."

Service consultant: "I can definitely help you. In fact, I just installed the new KYB Strut-Plus component on my truck and I am very satisfied with the result. Your truck has a front pillar. According to your description, Replacing them should make a big improvement."

Customer: "This is one of my questions: Do you recommend replacing the pillar or the entire pillar with only springs and brackets?"

Service consultant: "Good question. This is my suggestion: First, your symptoms sound like extra wear parts causing some noise and looseness, so let's start with a complete assembly including springs and strut mounts. Then choose KYB brands because they fit your vehicle perfectly. KYB also offers up to three options in a complete pillar package."

Customer: "Why choose, I think any new parts can work normally?"

Service Advisor: "They are all available, but for your truck KYB, you can choose between the original equipment recovery option called Strut-Plus, which includes a pillar like a factory, or you can choose to upgrade to a The truck’s single-tube pillar-plus performance. Monotubes are superior to the original equipment, improving handling and even adding extra control during aggressive driving such as towing."

 Customer: "The extra control sounds good to me. What is the other option?"

Service consultant: "You will love this. KYB also provides Truck-Plus leveling components, which include all new components and raise the front of your truck by about 2 inches for a more aggressive appearance!

Customer: "It sounds better: I can keep my truck, make it drive better and look stronger! Thank you Frank for the suggestion!
