Representatives of Yuasa batteries and distributor Somora, in conjunction with motor factor stockist across Ireland will be taking to the road in September, calling on garages and urging them to participate in the highly successful Yuasa Check Battery campaign. 

The campaign provides both a battery tester and marketing support materials that can assist a garage in always testing a battery whenever a car comes into the workshop and conveniently communicating the results to the customer.

Yuasa says that statistics show that some 40% of batteries checked will require either a recharge or replacement, creating a huge business opportunity for any garage. Carrying out this quick and easy procedure can also improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as provide a major sales boost.

Batteries lose 30% of their cranking power when the temperature drops and frequent short journey cycles also drain power. Non starts can cause considerable driver distress and it is often the garage that has serviced the car that takes the blame.

The Yuasa campaign features all the tools required to implement an effective checking regime in a convenient kit. This includes a Yuasa battery tester and point of sale material including customer mirror hangers with a simple traffic light system to show the battery condition.

Yuasa "Check The Battery" kits are available from Yuasa motor factor stockists.
