AAPEX 2004: MotorVac Showcases New Product Line at Show

SANTA ANA, Calif.--Nov. 2, 2004--MotorVac Technologies announced three new products at the AAPEX Show today in Las Vegas. These products include the new CycleTune(TM) System, Automotive Solutions(TM) Preventative Maintenance Service Kits and AcuTest(TM) Fluid Maintenance Test Strips.

CycleTune(TM) - Fuel Injection Cleaning Machine for Motorcycles

MotorVac has introduced a new fuel injection cleaning machine for motorcycles to its extensive fluid exchange equipment product line. The CycleTune (Model No. MMC 231) is designed for fuel injected motorcycle systems, but also works on most carbureted motorcycle systems. The system safely removes soft carbon deposits, gum, and varnish in 30 minutes or less for improved drivability and performance. CycleTune will not only restore acceleration and throttle response, it will increase horsepower (Dyno tested and documented) and reduce leak down past rings and valves on motorcycles with 30,000 miles or more. This portable and versatile unit includes a standard adapter kit with model-specific adapters now available for Harley-Davidson, Honda, Victory, and BMW motorcycles (other models to follow).

Consumers will receive great satisfaction when they feel the restored performance of their motorcycle with this very affordable service. CycleTune operates off the motorcycle's 12-volt battery and works on both two-line and single-line fuel injection systems. The roto-molded cabinet and rounded corners make it easy to carry and safe to work with in tight quarters. A handy shelf on the back of the unit provides a convenient place to hold adaptors.

Automotive Solutions(TM) - Preventative Maintenance Service Kits

The Automotive Solutions program includes several preventative maintenance service kit products that will immediately put a shop in the fluid exchange business. It will provide a distributor with the opportunity to supply a shop with a full-service solution and help them expand their preventative maintenance service menu by offering the use of high-quality chemical products and accessories. The product line includes 2-Step, 3-Step and 4-Step Preventive Maintenance Service Kits to provide "Good," "Better" and "Best" options to the consumer. The new product line now includes 13 kits in various configurations and supports all automotive fluid exchange services. Many of these products can be used with or without a fluid exchange machine, and are compatible with all types of equipment. Each product is packaged in a single-use kit, with properly measured solutions, so the shop can ensure it is providing the customer with a complete and effective service.

AcuTest(TM) - Automotive Fluid Test Strips

MotorVac will offer shops and technicians an easy way to diagnose the condition of various vehicle fluids for degradation or contamination. These one-step tests will provide quick and accurate visual confirmation of the condition of the vehicle's coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and gas motor oil. Together with MotorVac's complete line of fluid exchange equipment and service kits, AcuTest will be a value-added tool to use in every preventative maintenance service program. Proper fluid maintenance will help ensure peak performance, extend equipment life, and reduce overall maintenance and repair cost.

The CoolantClean AcuTest kit includes 3-in-1 strips that test and analyze all key antifreeze coolant factors - freeze point, nitrite, molybdate, pH and RA simultaneously. The BrakeTech AcuTest kit provides an easy and quick method for measuring moisture in DOT 3, DOT 4, and "synthetic" brake fluids. The FluidChek one-drop instant lubricant test shows proof positive results if gasoline engine oil and automatic transmission fluid needs to be changed. Each of these strips provides a visual result that can then be reviewed against a chart to determine the condition of the fluid.

Mark J. Hallsman, president and CEO of MotorVac stated that, "our goal is to become the worldwide leading supplier of preventative maintenance services and these new products take us one step closer to accomplishing this objective and being clearly recognized as the automotive fluid exchange experts."
