Over the last nine months we have seen a big upturn in body shops getting Tesla approval across the UK, requiring the wide range of Tesla approved equipment that we can supply. These body shops are all clearly setting themselves up for the significant growth forecast (and the associated repairs) for the Tesla electric cars, especially the more affordable Model 3, that is due to be launched in the UK within the next 12 months or so. The Model 3 will compete as an all-electric alternative with established mass market cars, such as BMW 3 series, Mercedes C Class, Jaguar XE and Audi A4.

Mark Swaby, Chairman of Bodyshop Solutions, commented “This is a fantastic opportunity for body shops to get Tesla approval now for their local area, to meet the expected repairs once the significant forecast growth for Tesla cars occurs, and we are delighted to be able to supply a wide range of the approved equipment & tooling that they will need”.

There is a very high gas cost in using baking ovens to cure paint. With the cost of a bake oven cycle in the region of £12, this means that for any body shop the annual cost is very high. In order to significantly reduce this cost for the paint curing of up to a few panels at a time, it is far cheaper to utilise IRT Infrared Curing Paint equipment, which can completely cure base coat in 4 to 8 minutes and top coat in 6 to 10 minutes.

You are looking at a curing cost of up to only 20 to 30 pence per coat, which is a massive saving over a year, plus the additional throughput that you can achieve with the speed of cure.This is why most of the major car manufacturers in the UK use and trust IRT Infrared Curing Paint equipment for their new car re-finishing, due to it’s speed, quality of cure and it’s longevity.

Please call us on 01327 300700 to discuss how we can help you significantly reduce your costs and also improve your productivity.

There has been a problem with sinkage of vehicle joints after being glued, for example where a new roof has been put on a car, resulting in return of the repaired car and re-work on the joints. This problem has been caused by the glue all around the joint not been fully cured after being infrared cured from one side. The innovative FlexiTherm, multi-pad curing system, resolves this problem by ensuring a uniform cure of all the glue, within a mere 45 minutes using pre-set programmes.

It is very easy to use, provides guaranteed results and enables an operator to carry on working on the car at the same time, meaning that the job can be completed far quicker!
