Remote service for workshops: automotive support from a distance

The new remote service for workshops from HELLA Gutmann provides support for digital work.

HELLA Gutmann's Remote Service for workshops is basically open to all workshops – regardless of whether they use a diagnostic device from the mega macs range. The only basic requirement is the macsRemote device with a stable internet connection (WLAN or LAN). Then, on request, a remote expert can take the required digital action on the relevant customer vehicle. In order to do this, the expert simply connects remotely to the vehicle and carries out the work. Using macsRemote Services is not subject to any contractual commitment. Anyone who has purchased the macsRemote device and registered free of charge at https://macsremote.obd.help can straight away place an order for the first remote job. By the way: the payment of all commissioned remote single services operates according to the pay-per-use principle after invoicing.

Here’s a practical example shown step by step: placing an order for remote service

Let's assume a customer brings a vehicle into your workshop with minor front damage. It soon becomes apparent that you need to replace the HELLA Matrix LED headlamp. Actually a routine job that should be done quickly – which is what you tell your customer. But then comes the nasty surprise: the newly installed headlamp does not work. Instead, the error code "Power module, headlamp right – function faulty" is stored. And this is exactly where the remote service for workshops comes into play – this is how you proceed:

1. You connect the macsRemote device to the vehicle's OBD socket and dial up via tablet, notebook or PC by entering your user ID. The vehicle identifies itself via the VIN. 5. After that, you only have to adjust the headlamp and possibly delete the error memory – all done. The headlamp works, your customer gets the vehicle back on time and you save time and nerves.
