Today’s modern service and repair shops are always looking for ways to increase the productivity of their technicians. This extends to the equipment used to help service your customers who are looking for A/C repair services. Equipment manufactured by MAHLE Service Solutions offer a range of choices in A/C service equipment. All of the company's models are designed to offer superior productivity, outstanding system performance and functionality.

The company has machines to service vehicles that utilize either R134a or R1234yf refrigerants. They are designed with fully automatic functions to recover, vacuum, leak test and charge without command for ease of operations.

The company's newest machines are fully-integrated with TechPRO Automotive Diagnostic System, to provide future capability of A/C diagnostics and HVAC system testing. This eliminates the need to hook up a separate diagnostic scan tool. Technicians can decode a VIN in one second with one click, allowing for accurate vehicle identification of refrigerant capacity, oil type and other important OEM service specifications.

Controlled by a large, 7" LCD screen, these units can generate customizable reports to show vacuum graphing and the leak rate as it happens. A smartphone app is available in IOS or Android platform which allows technician remote monitoring of the ArcticPRO ACX unit. Finally, you can access an optional upgrade for enterprise data management and reporting purposes. A customizable reporting system helps compile cross-workshop metrics in a professional manner for your customers.
