 Earl Glenn here shot forward in township Chevrolet and just kind of showing off One of our new newest pieces of equipment here. We're pretty pretty proud of and we had a new alignment machine Great time of year too with everyone doing the switch over from the winter tires to the summer tires I had mentioned it in a couple of videos before there about Getting those winter tires off as the weather is getting warmer No better time to have an alignment analysis done to make sure that when you put your new tires on obviously They're gonna drive down the road good and straight and you're not gonna prematurely wear out the tire Especially when we're talking the average cost for tires today is six seven eight hundred dollars for for the average set And of course they they go a lot more expensive than that Sometimes $2,000 depending on what you're driving and what size they are so just give you a quick tour of our machine here This is a hunter machine. We got from the boys up there, and we've got first this This little trigger mechanism here, and this is gonna scan the vin and any vehicle we bring in here And it's gonna preload all the specifications on the machine So it makes a little quicker for the fellas And it's also gonna make sure there's you know, no mistakes being made as far as the information you're putting in there With the machine also we've got a remote so that the guys can operate it Well, they're underneath the vehicle on the hoist doing the adjustments that may need to be done Another great feature too is the heads on this unit now They actually clamp on around the tire and this soft face here would go on the rim So with that being said we're not clipping them on the rim anymore So you're not gonna have to risk damaging the edge of the rim or the paint and some of the bigger trucks with the guys Driving around the the aftermarket wheels and tires it makes it real difficult to get those on so it's gonna save some time there as well Some of the features of the machine that are kind of different than our old one the actual function of it's the same You know you It's not making the alignment job any better. It's just making the alignment job a little quicker And obviously the quicker the alignments being done It's the quicker turnaround for you guys that you know, you're getting your car back, which is a big thing for us here. So Yeah, some of the main features obviously it's got a great print out it's gonna show you what Alignment angles were off if any and it's gonna show you to What it looks like when we were done the hoist itself has some really cool LED lights on it That shine up on the bottom of the chassis of the vehicle so it also Helps illuminate that for the guys when they're underneath they're working And obviously, you know, if there's any issues under there It's a lot easier to spot too so we can get that information to you guys so you guys know what's going on with your car Hunters done a great job to almost I Haven't run into one yet, but almost every car that we do and we can do an alignment on here Any make any model they actually have illustrations of how to make the adjustments and their actual Photographs and pictures of the vehicles so there's no guessing another thing. It's not like a guy's got to go to check another program to see Okay, what do I have to you know? What nut or or what bolt or what adjustment do I have to make to correct this, you know angle? It's it's right there as planes could be everything's one stop shop as far as the alignment goes in this piece of equipment here So it's an expensive piece of equipment, but it's something you got to have And it's a great service to offer our customers, especially when we're doing a lot of front-end work And we're also doing a lot of tires and stuff You want to make sure this is going to complete that whole circle of you're getting the whole thing done So your car is driving on the road like it should We do our alignment analysis is at $29 this machine has really picked up the pace It's you know roughly about 20 minutes to to do an analysis I'm obviously some vehicles are different with the you know the different hookups and and stuff But for the most part it's about 20 minutes to do the analysis and that'll tell you if everything's running straight And it's about $29 so pretty cheap insurance on a set of tires You know that are anywhere from 600 to 1500 dollars that are on your truck or your car That's a pretty cheap insurance policy. You know that they're driving on the road and they're wearing like they should Since we got this machine last week We've probably you know five or six maybe a day and out of those five or six a day. There's about If one there may be one or so roughly That doesn't need an adjustment. So that just goes to show you all these people are coming in You know thinking that the cars great for alignment wise But the roads are so bad this year with the fluctuation in the temperature that a lot of potholes a lot of dips and banks in the road And that's of course gonna throw that stuff out. So If you do need an adjustment on your alignment One of the advisors will go and speak to you And if you need to if you want to come out and see exactly what the issue is right here in the machine That's no problem myself or one of the technicians will bring you out and show you exactly what's going on So you know what you're paying for because it's always a nice feeling too. So if you're getting your tires changed If you're coming in for an oil change or anything at all and you're curious to know if your alignments within spec Just when you make your appointment online Make sure you note that or when you call us here at the service department Let them know and we'll get that set up for you and like I say it's pretty quick so it's not much of any convenience for you and We'll get you down the road and get your car working safe and reliable like that's our main goal here So just give us a call.
