All-round help for independent automotive businesses: The 360 degree FORVIA HELLA service
Systems such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and e-mobility are not only revolutionising driving, the revolution is also finding its way into the vehicle workshop. This poses new challenges for independent workshops in particular: They have to contend with increasingly complex vehicle electronics and higher demands on diagnostics and repairs. As the workshop's friend, we enable automotive businesses to get to grips with the increasing complexity using comprehensive services, enabling them to continue working efficiently and profitably in the future.
As a strong partner of leading car manufacturers, FORVIA HELLA is always at the forefront of technological developments in original equipment, putting it in a position to provide innovative solutions. At the same time, the company consistently transfers these skills, components and expertise to the aftermarket.
High-quality spare parts at the core
The range of an electric car varies depending on the model, performance, temperature and driving style. It is important to know the exact range of your own vehicle and to plan your route accordingly. Modern electric cars usually offer a range of 200 to 500 kilometres per charge, which is sufficient for most holidaymakers as long as regular charging breaks are planned. In cold temperatures, consumption will increase considerably and the range noticeably drops; in very hot temperatures, the charging performance can also be reduced to protect the sensitive battery cells.
Expert hotlines and remote services from FORVIA HELLA
Hand on heart, there are moments in everyday workshop life when you reach your limits. As vehicle systems are becoming increasingly complex and more software-based, it is becoming more and more difficult to carry out all the work yourself. Often the necessary access authorisations are missing, or the vehicle is so new that it is not yet included in the diagnostic device's standard software. When it comes to diagnosing and repairing modern vehicles, fast and precise solutions are required. Our expert hotline for independent workshops can help with technical questions. In addition, there are remote services available, for example, to carry out coding, software activation and calibration remotely. This enables independent workshops to work more efficiently and remain competitive.
Diagnostic tools and components in OE quality
FORVIA HELLA brings expertise and components from the OE segment to the open market. Hella Gutmann's powerful diagnostic tools enable precise communication with all relevant vehicle systems and lightning-fast interpretation of all data and error codes. OE expertise ensures that repairs and maintenance can be carried out to the highest quality standards.
Precise calibration and adjustment
The latest vehicle electronics are equipped with sensitive sensors and elements that help us enormously on the roads. However, for these systems to function properly, precise calibrations and adjustments are absolutely essential, especially for safety-relevant systems such as driver assistance systems. Hella Gutmann provides powerful calibration tools and instructions to ensure that all systems are optimally adjusted.
Future-proof through innovative workshop solutions
This allows us to keep our finger on the pulse and continuously develop new solutions to meet future challenges in the aftermarket. By collaborating closely with manufacturers in the OE sector, FORVIA HELLA can bring innovations to the aftermarket early, so that solutions are already available before workshops are confronted with problems.
Our 360-degree service accompanies independent workshops through the digital transformation with a complete package of technical support, training, powerful diagnostic tools and components.
