Ensuring Comfort and Control through Shock Absorber Maintenance
This business idea focuses on the reconditioning of shock absorbers, essential components for a smooth and comfortable ride in any automobile. With the increasing number of vehicles on Kenyan roads and the state of these roads, the replacement rate for shock absorbers is high. By offering shock absorber reconditioning services, we aim to provide a cost-effective solution for vehicle owners, ensuring better control and a more comfortable ride. This blog explores the production process, market analysis, and government incentives associated with shock absorber reconditioning in Kenya.
Production Process: Restoring Functionality and Performance
The production process involves opening the shock absorbers and checking for oil passage and required pressure. Dirt and contaminants are removed, and fresh oil is filled after replacing rubber bushes and seals. This meticulous process ensures that the reconditioned shock absorbers regain their functionality and performance, providing a smooth and comfortable ride for vehicle owners.
Market Analysis: Meeting the Demand for Affordable Solutions
The market for shock absorber reconditioning primarily consists of existing vehicles in need of reconditioned shock absorbers. Used shock absorbers can be sourced locally from various garages across the country, offering a cost-effective alternative to buying new sets. By providing reconditioning services, we cater to the demand for affordable solutions, allowing vehicle owners to maintain their vehicles’ performance without breaking the bank.
Source of Machinery and Raw Materials: Local and Imported
The machinery and raw materials required for shock absorber reconditioning can be sourced both locally and imported. While some components may need to be imported, others can be locally made, ensuring a balance between cost-effectiveness and availability. Used shock absorbers can be easily obtained from garages across the country, providing a steady supply for reconditioning.
Government Incentives: Support for Small Enterprises
The Kenyan government offers incentives to support the repair and maintenance industry, including the reconditioning of shock absorbers. Repairs and minor capital equipment can receive a 100% grant on the actual costs incurred within a year. Additionally, organizations in the Private Sector provide grants for SMEs to develop their capacity, further supporting the growth of businesses in this sector.
