When the digital job seems impossible or simply uneconomical for you

Hand on heart, there are situations in everyday workshop life when you reach your limits. Because, in light of the increasingly software-based, complex vehicle systems, virtually no one can carry out all measures on vehicles themselves these days, whether that's because they don't have data or access authorisations, because the vehicle model is brand new and not yet included in the diagnostic device's regular software, or because the appropriate calibration board is not yet available. Before now, in scenarios like these, the vehicle inevitably ended up at the vehicle manufacturer's authorised workshop.

But here's the good news:today, the expert teams at Hella Gutmann are by your side in this scenario too: the technical call centre provides advice and the remote service centre provides action. Hella Gutmann's remote experts can use remote access to carry out coding, software activation and calibration for you, for example. And they can do this on around 70 vehicle makes.

The icing on the cake of practical support in everyday workshop life

In contrast to the advisory assistance provided by the technical call centre, which is linked to using Hella Gutmann diagnostic devices, Hella Gutmann Remote Services are open to all workshops and car dealerships without restriction. All that is required on site in the workshop is the macsRemote device with a stable connection to the internet. You can then request that a Hella Gutmann remote expert remotely performs the required individual digital measure on the relevant customer vehicle for you. This saves you valuable time, maintains your independence and also allows you to retain customers with the latest vehicles.

Currently, our remote services are available in seven countries. You do not have to make a contractual commitment to use them. After completing the one-time registration, simply go to macsremote.obd.help and select the vehicle and the service you want. The vehicle and costs specific to the case are displayed. Order the service with a click and wait briefly for the online response from the remote expert. Payment is based on the pay-per-use principle. It couldn't be simpler or more transparent!
