Pro-Align competition offers a business transforming prize

March 18, 2011 - PRLog -- In celebration of its 20 years in business, Pro-Align Ltd, one of the UK’s leading wheel alignment specialists, is giving away one Hunter HawkEye ‘Special’ imaging aligner, worth £9,000, in a new online competition. The winning workshop will not only benefit from a world leading Hunter imaging alignment system, full installation, training and service support, but ultimately a highly-profitable business opportunity capable of transforming their service business for the future.

“Making money from retail alignment is how we initially started out and that gave us the grounding for where we are today,” explains Paul Beaurain, founder and managing director, Pro-Align. “Having reached this milestone in the company’s history, we wanted to give something back and offer another workshop the unique opportunity to make a difference to their business through alignment, as we did.”

To be in with a chance of winning the alignment equipment, workshops simply need to visit Pro-Align’s new website, www.pro-align.co.uk, and answer eight questions about the business and wheel alignment.

“In these tough times, this competition could help change a business forever,” continues Paul Beaurain. “Indeed, with it still being difficult for many small businesses to secure funding from banks, this competition could be a real lifeline for someone to expand their business gaining a valuable new revenue source.”

The competition is open to all mainland UK workshops; bodyshops, retail tyre shops, independent and franchised garages that have the space for a wheel alignment bay. Workshops answering the competition questions will be visited by Pro-Align for a preliminary site survey of the allocated bay space. The qualifying entries will be entered into a draw on 1st October. Full terms and conditions of the competition are available on the Pro-Align website.

From small beginnings back in 1991, Pro-Align has become renowned as one of the UK’s leading authorities on four wheel alignment, and has done much to educate the aftermarket in the opportunities professional four wheel alignment offers. Being totally independent and not manufacturer owned, Pro-Align has also been successful in sourcing equipment to meet the market  requirements, including the world leading Hunter wheel alignment and wheel servicing equipment. Today Pro-Align’s customer base is wide from motor manufacturers, franchised dealer groups, motorsport specialists and vehicle technology / R&D consultancies, national and independent accident repair centres to small independent workshops.

A major advancement for the company, was locating to its purpose-built headquarters in Towcester in 2006, with its large and well equipped training and demonstration facility. Other company highlights include gaining the NTDA’s Innovation Award and Professional Motor Mechanic magazine’s product of the year accolades in 2009.

“We wish everyone entering the competition the very best of luck and we are looking forward to the next 20 years. It is an exciting time for professional wheel alignment as UK motorists are now beginning to recognise it as an ‘Essential Service’ ” concludes Paul.
