What can we do to ensure safety of our community when sending the car for a Service or Warrant of Fitness?
Disinfect the vehicle before & after repair
There are several ways you and your mechanic can disinfect your vehicle. Whether they use disinfectant wipes to clean steering wheels & common surfaces. Or choose professional and get fogging machine to disinfect every surface in your vehicle. There is no right or wrong. Covid-19 prevention is all about staying pro active.
We at Southend Motors have invested in disinfectant fogging machine to ensure COVID-19 health & safety of our staff & customers.
How does it work?
Thermal fogging machines use heat to vaporize the fogging solution. This creates dense fog of disinfectant that is released in the vehicle & left inside for it is penetrate through hard to reach surfaces. Fog essentially enters surface where manual disinfectant can not enter. This procedure has been proved successful to fight with pandemics around the world.
This is a cost & time effective procedure.
What is involved in the procedure
It is simple as 1,2,3. We assume every vehicle is a Covid-19 carrier, therefore process of disinfection is carried out prior to any work is carried out. Once it is done, we carry on with the work as usual.
After repairs or WoF check are carried out & vehicle is ready for collection. It is parked away for the owner to collect it. Usually this is the time when completed vehicle is sanitized again. Double sanitizing ensures health & safety of staff as well as customers.
Every vehicle is sanitized before and after repairs to ensure everyone’s safety.
What are the costs involved?
Just like everything else there is cost of material, equipment & time spent by technician to complete the process. We can promise cost will be minimal, to discuss please contact us.
So if you are thinking about booking your car in for a service or Warrant of Fitness? Don’t forget to ask for sanitizing your vehicle.
