n 1990 MACS established the first industry mobile air conditioning survey to profile vehicles
serviced by independent service facilities. Since then the survey has been repeated periodically over a span of years, and the data collected has reflected significant trends representing
major changes in the industry. The last complete survey was done in 2003 with a minimized
survey done in 2013.

Although information gleaned from these surveys was valuable, the attempt to profile each
vehicle serviced in the busy summer season was challenging for the participating facilities.
To reduce the effort required by shops surveyed, and to collect information from as many
facilities as possible, MACS is changing the survey format in 2016.
Rather than have the survey address the detailed repair activity for each vehicle, this survey
is being conducted as a general facility servicing profile, assessing the general trends based on
responses provided by participating shops.
Careful analysis of such survey results could give you special insight on the industry and help
you plan for the future.
This survey will be launched early this month. Distribution of the survey will be widespread,
but if you haven't received the survey by the time you read this, send me an email and we'll get
it to you. ❆
