Workshops can even combine our car and van technical data application with our new online motorcycle application to ensure that their workshop has the ability to service any vehicle. Max Lienard, Head of Product & Market Development at Autodata Group, says: “Many workshop owners feel they don’t have the technical knowledge to service or repair motorcycles – but the fundamentals are the same, and we now provide an easy-to-use workshop application to assist technicians with motorcycle diagnostics and repairs. This shows you how to find the downloaded file of your Autodata Motorcycle Technical Data and Labor Guide program if you are using Windows 7. Like the online workshop application for cars and light commercial vehicles, workshops that subscribe to Autodata for Motorcycles also benefit from easy access to the accurate and relevant information such as technical specifications, repair times, diagnostic trouble codes, and an estimate calculator to support technicians as they carry out servicing and repairs to motorcycles. With that in mind, Autodata has released ‘Autodata for Motorcycles’, an automotive technical information application for workshops. Minus the cost of investing in an accurate technical automotive data tool, servicing and repairing motorcycles could provide additional annual revenue of at least £5,150.

If workshops were to service just one motorcycle per week, that would provide an additional annual revenue of £6,240. The average cost of a standard motorcycle service is £120. With over 43 years of experience in providing the aftermarket with the technical data tools required, the company saw a great opportunity for workshops to extend their business value amongst customers who own both cars and motorcycles, as well as the chance for workshops to build new business relationships with motorcyclists who are also likely to own other types of vehicles.
