SEHON Paint Booths: Professional Spot Repair
SEHON Paint Booths: Professional Spot Repair
The German spray booth manufacturer Sehon offers various equipped workstations and options for professional spot repair. The company also provides tips on how shops can improve their marketing.
According to Sehon, approximately 80% of all minor damage can be repaired using the spot repair method. For many potential customers, the environmental argument that spot repair follows the principle of “repair instead of replace” is decisive. Given the current geopolitical situation and rising spare parts prices, it should not be overlooked that customers want to save money and are looking for cost-effective repair methods such as spot repair.
Spot Repair with the Multi-Speed-Master
The Multi-Speed-Master (MSM) is a patented professional workstation from Sehon specifically developed for minor damage repair. It is a modular spot repair system whose size and equipment can be adapted to the repair of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, and rail vehicles.
Vehicle preparation as well as the painting and drying process take place directly at the spot repair workstation. Time-consuming maneuvering is eliminated. Most importantly, however, the cost-intensive use of spray booths and dryers can be avoided for minor damage repairs or maintenance work. This saves energy, time, and costs.
The MSM requires only minimal space (from 7 × 4 m for passenger cars) and can therefore be retrofitted in most shops. The low supply and exhaust air requirements as well as drying by IR or UV guarantee minimal energy costs.
Spot Repair with the SE-Multistar Multifunction Booth
The SE-Multistar multifunction spray booth from Sehon is a true all-rounder for professional spot repair. Compared to the retrofittable Multi-Speed-Master, multifunction booths are planned from the outset in the workflow “dryer – traditional spray booth – masking – multifunction booth for minor damage,” particularly for new construction, conversions, and expansions.
This system configuration is chosen by shop owners who operate professional minor damage repair as a separate business area. This allows them to integrate the spot repair workstation optimally and efficiently into their operational vehicle routing.
Universal Preparation Stations
The universal preparation stations from Sehon for vehicle preparation can also be used for spot repair. They comply with BG regulations and are generally equipped with the required supply and exhaust air technology. They are typically equipped with vehicle lifts and are available as underfloor or overfloor variants. Infrared or UV drying systems are used for spot repair.
Marketing Tips
Sehon market research regularly analyzes the websites of German body and paint shops, including on the topic of “spot repair.” Over 90% of shops offer this repair method. However:
- Very few homepages explain in detail what advantages spot repair offers for end customers.
- Shops often confuse the terms spot repair and smart repair. When smart repair is mentioned but spot repair is meant, end customers cannot find the shop when searching on Google.
- Many shops talk about spot repair on their homepage but forget important keywords and descriptions such as “minor damage repair,” “repair small damage,” or “repair damage cost-effectively.” This is another obstacle to being found perfectly on Google.
- The argument “repair instead of replace” is hardly emphasized (environmental protection, sustainability).
Safety
Tiemo Sehon refers to the safety requirements for spot repair, universal, and multifunction workstations and booths: “Technical and safety standards, regulations, and guidelines must also be observed for these workstations. These include supply and exhaust air, explosion protection, and workplace safety. Those who know us know that legal requirements are always met with our systems. This is not guaranteed with all offers available on the market. Customers are on the safe side with us.”
