WATCH: Selling Customers on the Value of Fuel Additives

It’s safe to say that all of your customers want their cars to run better. But, few realize just how easy it is to “tune their fuel” with a fuel-treatment product.

One question we hear from time to time has to do with fuel additives, and how to sell customers on their value.

It’s safe to say that all of your customers want their cars to run better. But, few realize just how easy it is to “tune their fuel” with a fuel-treatment product.

Fuel additives help improve the combustibility of fuel, which means engines start easier and run stronger. A more complete burn of the fuel charge also helps reduce emissions, and it reduces performance-robbing carbon deposits.

Your customers might want to consider a fuel-treatment blend that uses enzymes to remove and prevent the formation of gum, varnish and carbon deposits. The right fuel-treatment solution can help keep their fuel system and their engine clean. With regular use, it can help improve fuel economy, so the product actually pays for itself.

When your customers see how a fuel-treatment solution can make their vehicles run better AND save them money, many of them will buy it every time they’re in the store. That’s good for their vehicle, and good for your business.

Ball Joints: How Much Play Is Too Much?

There’s a common misconception that any play in a ball joint means it’s
wearing out.

When ball joints are on the counter, what’s the No. 1 upsell? Shop rags, latex gloves and floor cleaner, because it’s going to be a messy job!

Seriously, though, it depends on the suspension. For light cars and trucks with strut-type suspension, most ball joints aren’t greaseable, and most of them only have one lower control arm on each side, resulting in only one lower ball joint on each side (multi-link suspensions are another story). Most of these are a cakewalk to replace, and you barely get your hands dirty. But, heavier trucks and older cars with upper-lower A-arm suspension and greaseable joints are a different story. That’s when it gets real.
