High performance success for Barton Garages
Barton Garages Ltd has achieved incredible results with its multi-award-winning range of engine decontamination machines, according to EDT Automotive - becoming the EDT network’s highest performing garage-partner since joining in January 2018.
The team at Barton Garages began noticing an increasing number of customer vehicles at the Yelverton-based workshop which were suffering from a high concentration of carbon build-up, putting their engines under undue strain and potentially shortening vehicle lifetime. Co-director Tracy Barton, says: “We felt it was time to take things up a level and offer an additional service to our customers to ensure vehicle health and prevent problems further down the line.”
After conducting some initial market research, Tracy discovered a wealth of positive reviews about engine decontamination equipment and about working with EDT as a business partner. EDT’s unique engine decontamination technology thoroughly cleans the oil system, effectively preparing it to receive the new oil without any of the impurities from the residue normally left after conventional servicing. Since January 2018, Barton Garages has undertaken over 300 EDT treatments and has multiple further bookings scheduled. It also offers a complementary service, Forté Power-Clean, which cleans other problem areas in vehicles such as the fuel injectors and the inlet manifold with very effective results.
Tracy says: “I can’t praise EDT highly enough: our customers are extremely happy with the results and they’ve told us that they can instantly feel the benefits. After just one treatment their cars are performing better, power delivery is improved and there are significant fuel-saving benefits too, meaning we can help the environment and save our customers money.”
Barton Garages is a family run business offering diagnostic testing, repairs, MOTs, servicing, air conditioning, tyres and exhausts. John Barton established the business in 1991 and was joined in 1992 by his son Adrian, who was then 16 years old. Over the years the garage has grown, adding five technicians and relocating to the then newly built business park in Yelverton. This September saw the third generation of the Barton family joining the business, when the team welcomed Adrian and Tracey’s son, Lewis.
