QuickCheck revolutionises alignment revenue potential

April 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Leading wheel alignment specialist Pro-Align has launched a new complementary alignment diagnostic system, which is set to revolutionise wheel alignment servicing and allow workshops to improve the efficiency and returns of their existing equipment.

QuickCheck provides a rapid six point preliminary alignment reading, helping workshops to pre-filter potentially misaligned vehicles in less than a minute and ensure maximum utilisation of their main alignment system.

“The new system is the perfect addition to workshops equipped with slower alignment equipment or those Hunter-equipped centres that already experience a high throughput,” explains Paul Beaurain, managing director, Pro-Align. “While there is no substitute for a full 14 angle measurement with rolling compensation, the new service allows workshops to quickly identify those vehicles that are most likely to be in need of a proper check and subsequent geometry adjustments. By using QuickCheck they can ensure their main system is used exclusively for revenue generating work.”

Speculative alignment checks which are critical for unlocking significant workshop profits has long been a focus for award winning equipment manufacturer Hunter. Indeed, its most recent full alignment system, the Hunter HawkEye Elite TD is capable of performing a full alignment check, including rolling compensation, in just 90 seconds.

However, the addition of QuickCheck to the company’s range means that workshops can now significantly improve their efficiency and equipment utilisation with more modest levels of investment or without the need to replace their main alignment system.

As QuickCheck measures only some of the key alignment angles, it is not necessary to be installed alongside a dedicated alignment ramp. Indeed, the system can be supplied either as a fixed drive through unit or as a multi-bay mobile system which can be moved between workshop areas giving greater flexibility – ideal for larger franchised dealer workshops.

“With QuickCheck, there is now no excuse for workshops not measuring the alignment settings on every single vehicle coming through their workshop,” continues Beaurain. “Not only will this identify significantly more work opportunities, but for those customers cars not requiring any further work, a printout confirming the measurements read ‘OK’ will provide another level of customer care and service.”

Workshops keen to see the speed and potential of the QuickCheck system should contact Pro-Align on 01327 323007 to arrange a demonstration.
