WE HELP OPTIMISE YOUR BOTTOM LINE TO MAXIMISE YOUR PROFIT MARGINS
LETS RUN THROUGH IT
1. MAXIMAL TAX DEDUCTIONS
IT'S CERTAINLY NOT POCKET CHANGE
We have extensive knowledge of what can and cannot be claimed as a tax deduction from a mechanical and detailing workshop's perspective. We work closely with you to maximize deductions related to your commercial vehicles, including logbook servicing, repairs, preventative maintenance, and branding or marketing signage.
We clearly itemise all repairs, servicing, parts, consumables, and labor on invoices and make sure no deductions are missed.
Meet us in the workshop for a chat about what we can do for you - it may save you thousands of dollars!
2. RELIABILITY & SAFETY
PREVENT PROFIT-KILLING DOWNTIME
Commercial vehicles have high demands and as such need regular attention.
We'll ensure that you are on top of regular and major servicing in order to keep your trade vehicle running like-new. We will identify issues early and repair them well before a costly major breakdown or total engine failure occurs.
Our tried & true preventative maintenance program also keeps your commercial vehicle performing at its best for much, much longer (up to 400-500,000km+). Our cost-effective system keeps your engine running buttery smooth, protected and clean, which prevents overall wear & tear and ultimately expensive major repairs or total vehicle replacement. This program is tax-deductible as form an important part of maintenance.
We also perform thorough trade vehicle safety checks to ensure your risks of accidents are minimised.
3. LOW DOWNTIME
COURTESY BREAKDOWN TOWING & PRIORITY REPAIRS
We know how important minimal downtime is to you in case of a breakdown. Increased downtime means less time on the road generating income.
We offer courtesy and prompt towing to our workshop (*for most size vehicles & within metropolitan areas) to get you out of a pickle as soon as possible.
Then we offer priority repairs for you and your commercial vehicle to get you back on the road and earning as soon as possible.
4. COST EFFICIENCY & LOW OPERATING COSTS
The 4 major cost wear items of running a commercial car, ute, or van (due to frequent replacement) includes:
1. Fuel
Prices have skyrocketed this already major expense item
2. Tyres
Heavy loads and frequent use churn through tyres
3. Brakes
Adelaide's start-stop traffic & poor road conditions adds wear
4. Suspension & Steering
Very often need attention due to heavy loads and use

How does it boost your profit margins?
BlueOptimize™ fuel-efficiency tunes produce a fuel saving of ~10% most vehicles and up to 20% for many.
Let's consider a standard commercial van with a 70-75L fuel tank (Ford Transit, Mercedes Vito, Hyundai iload)
~72.5L of fuel at ~$1.77/L (Diesel for these vans) = $128.30 per refill
Most commercial vehicles fill up 1 to 3 times per week dependent on their business.
Over a working year of ~48 weeks for most Australians, this means:
1x refill / week = $6159.60
2x refills / week = $12319.20
3x refills / week = $18478.80
A BlueOptimize™ tune with 10% efficiency would effectively SAVE:
1x refill / week = $616 per year
2x refills / week = $1232 per year
3x refills / week = $1848 per year
Over the average lifespan of a commercial vehicle of 10 years savings works out to ~$6160, ~$12320, ~$18480 and possibly more in cars that achieve higher efficiency
This represents substantial savings to your business and increases your margins significantly - every dollar counts as a small business!
Wait, there's power perks too?
Despite being a fuel efficiency tune, there are power gains to be had too - both in horsepower and torque!
The engine tune provides smoother power delivery and improved torque.
More efficient combustion actually reduces engine wear and strain, extending your vehicle's longevity and reliability. Ultimately, reducing breakdowns too.
Below are some examples of power benefits with an economy tune in some popular models:
In summary, a BlueOptimize™ tune:
1. Reduces your fuel bill substantially - increasing your profit margins
2. Increases horsepower and torque - so you can get things done
3. Reduces engine strain - improving your vehicles reliability
FAQ - How much does it cost?
At Adelaide x Euro Auto Pro, we premium performance upgrades & tuning at an accessible price points for everyday people to enjoy.
We have priced this commercial service at a most competitive $800 per tune to all of our loyal trade customers.
4. PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITY
INCREASE PULLING POWER
Commercial vehicles often hold heavier loads with cabinets, tools and equipment installed. With stock power, many people notice that their engines are struggling to keep up with their requirements.
Vehicles are actually restricted in power & torque from factory which might be the cause of this problem. An ECU remap with us will restore your car's power to how the engineers designed it.
Customers safely gain significant horsepower and torque on stock internals, allowing them to access the power they need for their everyday work flow.
We tune in-house and also with world-renowned Viezu Motorsports (UK) to provide a range of performance options.
As mentioned above, an ECU tune allows your engine to work more efficiently - especially with higher loading. This reduces engine strain and can improve its lifespan!
5. PROFESSIONAL IMAGE/BRANDING
& 6. LOW COST, HIGH YIELD MARKETING
PREMIUM VEHICLE SIGNAGE & BRANDING
One of the most efficient ways to locally market your business and improve your brand presence is vehicle signage. Thousands of people would see your brand on a daily basis. It the most cost-effective way to market a local brand.
As a one-stop-shop for mechanical and detailing, we offer vinyl wrap and signage design, printing and installation to commercial vehicles and trailers as well. This includes cars, utes, vans, and trucks.
Being able to advertise your business 24/7 while on your job site, on the road, parked at local venues and even at your home is an excellent method to attract new clients in your local community and beyond
Best of all, commercial vehicle signage is considered a business expense by the Australian Tax Office and, as such, their materials and installations for business purposes are Tax Deductible!
Many shops do signage, how do we boost your margins?
1x WRAP FOR A LIFETIME
We have access to world-leading 3M IJ280 Film which has a service life of up to 10 years.
That's the exact average life of a commercial van or light truck in Australia (9.85 years). Meaning you may only need to do your commercial wrap ONCE as opposed to 2-3 times using cheaper quality films.
Also, our installers are industry leading ensuring a high quality installation is completed. Their ability is trusted by major brands such as BMW, Mercedes and Nissan.
This potentially SAVES you up to $16,000+ in re-wraps over the lifetime of your business vehicle.
7. SUPPORT & WARRANTY
TWO-YEAR WARRANTY
We've see it time and time again. Business owners having costly major repairs completed that fail shortly after due to possibly poor workmanship or poor quality parts used. Unfortunately, many workshops offer minimal or no warranty at all.
This leave them out of pocket again for another repair as well as with significant downtime without their commercial vehicle - leading to a big loss of income.
We, however, stand behind the quality of our services and the expertise of our technicians. That's why we offer a comprehensive 24-month/30,000-kilometre warranty on all our services/repairs. We believe in providing you with peace of mind and assurance that your business vehicle is in capable hands. This also prevent repeat expenses for the same repair.
We also repair your vehicle as a priority, in order to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
Our Master Mechanic Gert (above) ensures the highest standards are met in our workshops.
