For workshops that want to improve productivity without compromising service quality, the LIQUI MOLY Brake Fluid Tronic offers a practical way to simplify one of the workshop's most labour-intensive maintenance procedures.
LIQUI MOLY South Africa recently conducted its first local demonstration of the Brake Fluid Tronic at LUJ Automobile Mechanics, using a Volkswagen Polo to show how the machine can make brake fluid replacement faster, easier and more efficient.
The demonstration was led by LIQUI MOLY Application Engineers Thembani Mashaba and Shaldon Botes, who set up the equipment, guided the workshop team through the process and demonstrated how the device can change the way workshops approach brake fluid servicing.
Turning a Two-Person Process into a One-Person Operation
During the demonstration, the team at LUJ Automobile Mechanics explained that their existing brake fluid replacement process typically takes around an hour and requires two technicians. One technician bleeds the system while another operates the brake pedal inside the vehicle.
The Brake Fluid Tronic transforms this into a one-person operation. Once connected, it maintains consistent pressure while the technician completes the service independently, freeing another mechanic to continue working on other vehicles.
Designed to Make Servicing Simpler
The demonstration highlighted not only productivity improvements but also how intuitive the system is to use.
Key features include:
- Digital pressure display
- Electronic pressure control for consistent flow
- Integrated suction function
- Automatic pressure adjustment
- Electronic level monitoring with automatic shut-off
- Pulse signals to minimise air bubble formation
- Standard adapter covering approximately 90% of vehicle types
- Optional extension adapter set for Asian and American vehicles
The Brake Fluid Tronic is designed for hydraulic brake systems including ABS, ESP and EDS, with one-person operation and a delivery rate of up to 40 litres per hour.
Combined with LIQUI MOLY Brake Fluid, workshops have a complete brake servicing solution. LIQUI MOLY Brake Fluid is formulated to deliver reliable braking performance while helping protect the braking system against corrosion and wear, ensuring customers leave with confidence in both the service performed and the products used.
Better Productivity and Stronger Service Delivery
By reducing labour requirements, workshops can improve technician utilisation, shorten service times, increase workshop capacity and make brake fluid servicing a more practical and profitable offering.
Rather than tying up two technicians for an hour, one technician can complete the task while another continues servicing additional vehicles.
Changing Perspectives
For Application Engineers Thembani Mashaba and Shaldon Botes, this demonstration showcased more than a new machine. It demonstrated how the right workshop equipment, paired with premium products like LIQUI MOLY Brake Fluid, can improve efficiency, simplify maintenance procedures and ultimately enhance customer service.
The positive feedback from LUJ Automobile Mechanics reinforced the Brake Fluid Tronic's potential to help South African workshops modernise their brake servicing processes while delivering efficient, professional brake fluid services with trusted LIQUI MOLY products.
