Vehicle aircon services surge as temperatures soar
BookMyGarage has reported soaring bookings for vehicle aircon services as temperatures across the UK surge.
It said that aircon services in May rose 17% compared to the same month last year.
Meanwhile, bookings were up 264% in the final week of the month, when the UK was gripped by a heatwave that saw temperatures exceed 30 Deg C.
Record temperatures for May were set in two consecutive days towards the end of the month, with the Met Office predicting further record highs in the coming days.
BookMyGarage chief marketing officer Jessica Ruddick said: “Our experience both this year and last showed that whenever temperatures rise into the 30s, the garages on our platform receive a surge in aircon servicing and regas bookings. With temperatures this week expecting to climb once more, our garage partners and franchised workshops can expect even more bookings.
“With summer just around the corner, we think now is a great time for our partners to promote their aircon regas services to try and get ahead of any future heatwave curves. It’s also a great way to entice new customers into their garage who may well return for other services in the future.”
