Why independent garages should consider upgrading to a OPTL?
All businesses know that time is money and that they have to be at their most productive in order to be at their most profitable. That’s especially the case for independent garages when it comes to MOT testing, and having the right equipment is key to success.
There are lots of reasons why independent garages should consider upgrading their MOT bay to a one-person test lane (OPTL), these include:
Increased Efficiency: One significant benefit of an OPTL is that it allows a single technician to carry out an MOT test independently, eliminating the need for a second technician to provide assistance, this reduces the overall operating cost of the MOT test and frees up one of your technicians to work on other revenue opportunities at the same time.
Time Savings: Installation of a OPTL typically takes place in just one day*, this minimises disruption to normal business and minimises lost testing revenue due to downtime. What's more, if you add the Sun DGA6000 Link Emissions Analyser into your setup, you can benefit from even more time-saving and productivity-boosting benefits, as the system is designed to seamlessly integrate with all of your MOT testing equipment with the DVSA's MOT Testing System.
Improved Safety: An OPTL can improve safety for both the tester and the customer. As the tester is in control of the entire testing process, there is less chance of miscommunication or errors occurring. Additionally, as the tester does not need to move around the vehicle during the test, there is less risk of accidents or injuries occurring.
Planning or Space Restrictions: Some garages may be restricted by the physical dimensions of their workshop, others by planning restrictions preventing or making it difficult to upgrade to a 4-post automated testing lane. An SSL 6350 OPTL can be installed into your existing recess to replace older four-post lifts and requires no additional groundwork or modifications to planning applications. Additionally, a OPTL is also ideal for new MOT sites with limited space.
Future-Proofing: The DVSA has announced that it plans to phase out the use of manual test lanes in the coming years, in favour of one-person test lanes. By upgrading to an OPTL now, independent garages can ensure that they are prepared for these changes and will not need to make costly upgrades in the future.
