Emissions failures remain one of the most common reasons for MOT failure, making this a critical opportunity for workshops to not only support their customers but also generate additional revenue streams. Stocking Cataclean’s flagship 8-in-1 fuel and exhaust system cleaner can help garages do both.
With over 34 million vehicles on the road, the aftermarket services and repairs 76 percent of those vehicles, making this a busy season for workshops and garages – and having a product like Cataclean on the shelves not only helps those vehicles get through the emissions testing in an MOT, but it can also help to improve the bottom line with additional profit opportunities.
Modern MOT testing standards are tougher than ever, with increased scrutiny on exhaust emissions including CO, CO₂, NOx and hydrocarbons. Carbon build-up in injectors, combustion chambers, EGR valves, catalytic converters and DPFs are all common causes of poor emissions results. Cataclean’s unique formula targets these components, breaking down harmful deposits, improving combustion efficiency and reducing emissions by up to 60 percent.
For motorists, the benefits are immediate, a smoother performance, better fuel economy and increased chances of passing their MOT first time. For garages, workshops and mobile mechanics, Cataclean offers an easy-to-use ‘pour-and-go’ solution that can be added to regular servicing or recommended as part of a pre-MOT preparation package.
Incorporating Cataclean into workshop services is not just about compliance; it’s about business growth. The ‘pour-and-go’ application means no additional labour costs yet it can help to create a valuable upselling opportunity. Customers who see real improvements are likely to return and request Cataclean in future services, generating repeat sales and strengthening loyalty.
Maddie Bamber, Key Account Manager at Cataclean, explains: “MOT season is the perfect time for garages to highlight the value of Cataclean. Not only does it help drivers reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency, but it also provides workshops with a reliable way to increase revenue without extra strain on technicians.”
For drivers, Cataclean offers an MOT guarantee which provides a money-back guarantee on Cataclean products, if a vehicle fails its MOT due to an emissions-related issue. This policy builds trust for drivers while giving workshops confidence in recommending Cataclean as part of their services.
MOT season provides a good business opportunity. By stocking and promoting Cataclean, garages can help customers avoid costly MOT failures, deliver cleaner and more efficient performance and unlock consistent upselling potential – whilst also supporting the environmental goals of the automotive industry.
