What we do

Emissions testing, supported end to end

Garafit supplies industry-leading Brainbee smoke and gas analysers backed by our own certified, VOSA-approved engineers. From installation and calibration through to repairs and technical support, we look after the equipment for the whole of its working life rather than selling it and walking away.

We stock a comprehensive range of replacement parts for emissions testing equipment, so a failed module does not mean weeks of waiting.

We can also access your analyser remotely via TeamViewer. That lets our engineers diagnose faults, give technical support and resolve a good number of issues without an immediate site visit — which keeps your bay testing instead of standing idle waiting for someone to arrive.

HOW WE LOOK AFTER YOUR BRAINBEE EQUIPMENT

Supply and installation

We supply authorised BrainBee emission analysers, with professional installation and commissioning by our experienced engineers. Your equipment will be set up and ready to integrate with your MOT testing facilities.

Calibration on schedule

Keeping your emission analyser correctly calibrated is essential for accurate testing and meeting MOT requirements. We arrange your six-monthly calibration appointments in advance, helping you keep track of important dates and avoid missing scheduled calibration deadlines.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND REPLACEMENT PARTS

Our support doesn't stop once your equipment is installed. We provide technical assistance through TeamViewer, helping us diagnose certain faults remotely and potentially avoid an unnecessary site visit. We also supply genuine BrainBee replacement parts and carry out repairs to keep your equipment operating reliably.

WHY REMOTE SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

When your emission analyser develops a fault or prevents you from completing an MOT test, it can disrupt your entire working day. A site visit isn't always necessary. Using TeamViewer, we can remotely access your BrainBee equipment (with your permission) to help identify the problem quickly. Whether it's a calibration issue, software fault, module problem or filter-related issue, remote diagnostics allow us to investigate without immediately needing to send an engineer to site. Where possible, we can resolve the issue remotely. If an engineer is required, we can often identify the fault beforehand and arrive better prepared, helping to reduce downtime and get your MOT bay back up and running sooner.

The range

Brainbee emission analysers

Every one supplied, installed, calibrated and supported by the same team in Brislington.

Omni 800

Omni 800

A high-quality, user-friendly emission analyser with a robust cabinet, internal storage and a Windows mini-PC. The gas and diesel analysers secure neatly to the side with long cables and hoses, and the 19-inch LCD monitor displays the test clearly across the bay.

Omni 800 Blue

Omni 800 Blue

All the features of the Omni 800, but the gas and diesel monitoring heads and the power supply mount on an additional Bluetooth trolley, cable-free from the main cabinet. It moves freely around the workshop rather than tethering the test to one spot.

Omni 800 Lite

Omni 800 Lite

The full Brainbee quality at a significantly lower price. A modern tablet replaces the conventional PC, communication is cable-free and the trolley is smaller — with no compromise on the AGS-200 gas module, OPA-100 smoke module or MGT-300 RPM and oil temperature module.

Omni 800 Modular

Omni 800 Modular

Integrates the emission analyser into the roller brake tester computer, combining the display onto a single point. You need only the mobile trolley with the gas and smoke heads, communicating by Bluetooth — no large trolley and no separate emission PC.

AGS-200 gas bench

AGS-200 gas bench

The gas bench at the heart of the Omni 800. Accurately measures CO, CO2, HC, O2 and Lambda, with protective internal filters for gas and water, automatic flow control and zeroing, and rapid heating for quick testing.

OPA-100 smoke module

OPA-100 smoke module

Market-leading opacity measurement with rapid chamber heating and fast-pass technology. Automatic glass cleaning, and wireless communication of RPM and temperature from the MGT-300 EVO.

MGT-300 EVO

MGT-300 EVO

Universal RPM counter and temperature system. Connects to the vehicle and communicates results by RF or Bluetooth to the AGS-200 and OPA-100. Oil temperature via dipstick probe, RPM via engine acceleration sensor and battery.

EOBD-300 EVO

EOBD-300 EVO

An optional but highly recommended Bluetooth reader for the MGT-300 EVO, working alongside it for simplified readings and accurate measurement.

MAHLE Brainbee EOBD-300 EVO — the Bluetooth reader that works alongside the MGT-300 EVO.

Questions

Smoke & gas machines — your questions answered

Do you calibrate analysers you did not supply?

Garafit provides calibration and repair services exclusively for BrainBee emission analysers. Our VOSA-approved smoke and gas engineers are experienced in working with the BrainBee range, using manufacturer-authorised calibration equipment and genuine replacement parts. Unfortunately, we cannot offer calibration or repair services for other makes of smoke and gas analysers. If you're unsure whether your machine is covered, please get in touch and we'll be happy to advise.

What is TeamViewer support and does it cost extra?

TeamViewer allows our engineers to securely access your BrainBee analyser remotely, with your permission, to investigate faults and diagnose problems without necessarily requiring a site visit. This allows us to identify issues quickly, resolve certain faults remotely or establish which parts may be required before arranging an engineer's visit. TeamViewer support is free of charge for sessions lasting less than 30 minutes. If the session reaches 30 minutes or longer, a special hourly labour rate will apply. This can help reduce unnecessary site visits, minimise downtime and get your equipment back up and running as quickly as possible.

Which analyser should I buy?

Choosing the right analyser depends on how your MOT bay is set up and how you operate, rather than simply choosing the cheapest option. For workshops where equipment needs to be moved between bays, the BrainBee Blue or Lite models are worth considering, with cable-free heads and their own trolley for added flexibility. If you already have a computerised roller brake tester, the BrainBee Modular may be the ideal solution, integrating with your existing setup and reducing the need for additional equipment. For a more traditional, fixed MOT bay, the Omni 800 is another option to consider. We'll take the time to understand your requirements, explain the available options and recommend the BrainBee analyser best suited to your workshop and budget.

How long do emission analysers last?

With regular servicing, correct calibration and proper maintenance, a BrainBee emission analyser can provide many years of reliable service. Over time, certain components, including the gas bench and smoke module, may require attention or replacement. Software support and the availability of replacement parts can also influence the working life of the machine. We can supply genuine BrainBee replacement parts and carry out repairs to keep your analyser operating reliably. If a machine is approaching the point where further repairs may no longer be cost-effective, we'll give you honest advice on the options available, including replacement.

What happens if the analyser fails during an MOT?

If your analyser develops a fault and prevents you from completing an emissions test, contact us as soon as possible. We understand how disruptive equipment downtime can be, particularly when your MOT bay is fully booked. Our 24–48 hour emergency repair service is there to help get you back up and running as quickly as possible. Where possible, we can use TeamViewer remote support to investigate the problem and identify the cause. This helps us establish whether the issue relates to calibration, a component, a consumable or a software fault. If an engineer needs to attend site, identifying the problem beforehand means we can arrive better prepared, with the appropriate parts and equipment wherever possible.

Are your engineers approved to work on this equipment?

Yes. Our engineers are certified and VOSA-approved for Brainbee emissions equipment and GEA-accredited more broadly, with a minimum of eight to ten years in the trade. Calibration is carried out using manufacturer-authorised equipment and certificated for your MOT station and DVSA records.
