Turbocharger cartridge replacement business

Make money on turbo repair with minimal investment

A full-fledged turbo repair is a mini-production facility with many machines, spare parts warehouse and complex repair technology.

The second way to repair a turbo is to replace the cartridge

What is a turbocharger cartridge? It is the main part of a turbocharger that consists of the housing, shaft with wheel and bearings. It is effectively a turbo without the coils. The parts that wear out or get damaged during operation are usually the ones that make up the cartridge. The coils, on the other hand, are usually not damaged.

Approximately 80% of the turbos that come in for repair today can be repaired by replacing the cartridge.

The development of turbo cartridge manufacturing in China has meant that new cartridges are now available for a huge number of vehicles.

Especially many cartridges are available for passenger cars with an age of 5 to 15 years. You can buy a turbocharger cartridge for almost all common passenger cars.

In this case, all the complex high-precision operations that are used in full repair services become unnecessary, because the cartridge has already passed all the stages of balancing, checking for leaks, etc. It is assembled and tested.

Accordingly, almost any service station or any locksmith “with hands” can learn how to change them.

WHAT YOU NEED TO REPLACE CARTRIDGES

A good workbench with a vise with a metal surface;
Horn wrenches, sockets, ring pullers and other locksmith tools;
Compressor;
Sandblaster (to clean the snails, because they will be screwed old ones to the new cartridge);
GEOMET-500 stand for calibrating a variable geometry turbocharger;
Electronic actuator tester ATP-1000;
Vacuum gauge for setting the valve of turbos with vacuum actuator and for checking vacuum actuators.

Please note: there are no balancing machines here!

Yes, in a good way, you can add a dispersal stand, like SBR-10, to check the quality of cartridge balancing and check them for oil leaks, but you can buy cartridges a little more expensive and better quality like Jrone … and postpone the purchase of a dispersal stand for a while.

And then, having invested about 10 thousand dollars in the list of what you need (and if you have a locksmith tool and workbench, compressor – then you need only items from item 4. to item 6) you can with minimal investment – start fixing turbos for your customers.

At the same time, due to the lack of investment in expensive equipment, the absence of costs for renting premises for this equipment, the absence of workers and their salaries, there is a very quick payback. And all of the above are competitive advantages over traditional services.

Most of the major services went into the regions with this very model:

A) Basic service
there’s a basic service that fixes turbos using traditional full-blown technology.
Here’s an example of a traditional service – reference

B) Branches
all the other cities are opening receptions,
that only replace cartridges,
and staff these receptions with only a minimum set of equipment.

Opening a cartridge replacement service can also be a good idea to test a region or locality if you are going to open a full-fledged repair shop. The investment is six times less. And if the business of replacing cartridges goes well, then you can open a full-fledged repair. And if something goes wrong, then move such a service for cartridge replacement can be in another region with minimal costs and losses.

Also a good idea to open such a service will be for those who 20 … 25 turbos of their clients take to a specialized service for turbo repair from their service every month. You just can have an additional income and do not have to go anywhere….
