The announcement of quarantine in Lithuania due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus has affected many sectors financially. Some have been ordered by the government to suspend operations, others have been restricted, but in the end this is felt by every business sector.

     Car repair shops are at a crossroads - it is possible to work, but for some it is simply not physically possible. Certain restrictions are placed on physical customer service - so some immediately start to turn away from the situation and start offering new services that can and do take the repaired vehicle away from the customer’s home or work, still others accept the customer’s car only when the customer agrees to be delivered with a technical assistance trawl. Looking at a considerable amount of public information published by car repair shops, many of them indicate that customers' cars are only accepted at the agreed time and the car must be left behind the service gate, with the keys inside. Still others declare that cars should be left outside with all windows open, of course, if weather conditions allow. So every repair shop, whether big or small, started to spin out of position.

     Car service managers and mechanics also express another problem when communicating - because physical stores had to close because they could not accept and serve customers live, a number of small parts suppliers closed, so services could not buy parts and other suppliers ask to pay for parts immediately, no matter that it had previously been paid by consensus with provisions.

     There are key ways for garage managers and small mechanics to close or work at the risk of business, employee and customer health. However, it is always possible to find a way out, adapt and not lose your customer’s circle, and still increase it.

     Vehicle repair shops are an important link in order to have as little contact with others as possible, not to use public transport, taxis or shuttle services, so car repair shops must ensure the constant and maximum safe provision of repair services. That is why we want to offer you a tool that will reduce the risk of infection and further increase the circle of customers.

     In order for you to feel safe when accepting customers at the car repair shop, and also for the customers themselves to feel not only safer when the car is opened, but even safer after the repair work, it is necessary to ensure complete disinfection of the car interior. This can be done by ozonators, also known as ozone generators.

     Ozone generators are designed for confined spaces or spaces. Ozonators kill bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses and break down toxic and chemical substances that are hazardous to health and eliminate unpleasant odors. After the procedure, the air remains disinfected and cleaned, so you can breathe in fresh, completely clean and purified air.

      The ozone generator produces ozone during its operation. It is a substance like that that occurs outdoors after a thunderstorm or in pine forests as pines emit ozone. We have all been in the pine forests, so we know perfectly well what clean air there is that we breathe. The only difference is that the ozone concentration is very low there, and you cannot leave the ozonator on for a long time indoors. Because inhaling high concentrations of ozone would rupture the alveoli of the lungs. Therefore, when disinfecting the premises or ozonating the car interior, it is necessary to open the windows and leave to ventilate for at least a few minutes.

     The device is successfully used by car interior washing companies and car workshops, which provide disinfection services for car interiors, cargo compartments and refrigerators, minibuses and car air conditioning systems. One of the main good features of the device is that its operation does not require any operating costs. The ozone generated completely destroys known viruses, bacteria, spores, mold, etc. in all hard-to-reach places. (namely, what causes an unpleasant odor, allergy, sneezing, runny nose), thus performing a complete disinfection. To date, no microorganism, bacteria, spores and viruses are known to be destroyed by ozone.

     Ozone is an environmentally friendly cleaning technology. This is one of the best ways to clean a room or car interior of germs, bacteria, or chemicals harmful to humans. Ozone, produced by an ozonator, is converted to simple oxygen by interaction with microbiological substances. It is scientifically proven that ozonated air is not harmful to humans at all, on the contrary, after a disinfected room, the human respiratory system recovers.

     The ozone generator can be successfully used and found for indoor use. Thanks to the high level of efficiency, the devices are well suited for use on buses and larger bodies, and disinfect car bodies extremely quickly.
