THE FUTURE OF SPC
With the range of evolving automotive technologies and the increase of varying vehicle propulsion technologies, we will be investing in developing our facilities and services to better provide for our customers, new and existing.
Some of the projects we've got planned are listed below. Be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates as they're announced.
ELECTRICAL VEHICLE CHARGING
Electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are becoming increasingly common on South Australian roads. In order to support a larger range of customers, we will be installing an electric vehicle charger for use by staff and customers soon.
HYBRID AND EV SERVICING
Whilst electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) and hybrid vehicles, they still require servicing of their cooling and brake systems. Some of these services require specialised equipment, which we will be investing in, in the near future.
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING CALIBRATION AND REPAIR EQUIPMENT
Vehicles are becoming increasingly reliant on sensitive computer-controlled sensors for features such as autonomous driving, lane keep assist and radar-guided cruise control. These systems require calibration after repairs, which requires specialised equipment. We will be investing in such equipment in the near future.
UPGRADE AND EXTENSION OF FACILITIES
In order to reduce booking wait times, provide new services, improve staff and customer facilities and increase efficiency, we will be extending our workshop, and renovating the existing workshop and customer service areas.
