Frequently Asked Questions:
Why buy a wheel alignment machine?
Investing in a wheel alignment machine is a strategic decision for independent garages, driven by the myriad benefits it offers. Precision adjustment of vehicle wheels not only enhances performance and tyre lifespan but also ensures a safe driving experience, especially crucial before calibrating ADAS systems. In-house alignment services provided by John Bean® systems bring efficiency, reducing outsourcing costs, adding a revenue stream, and fostering customer loyalty. Suitable for various vehicles, John Bean® contributes to streamlined workflows, improving operational efficiency, and has the potential to increase overall profitability, making it a valuable investment for workshop capabilities and customer satisfaction.
What should you consider when purchasing a wheel alignment machine?
When choosing a wheel alignment machine, consider essential factors such as available workshop space, the range of serviced vehicles, and the skill levels of technicians. Ensure the selected machine seamlessly fits into your bay and aligns with the complexity your team can manage effectively. Seek guidance from your Snap-on® Sales Representative to select a system suited to your requirements. Define the desired return on investment to align the purchase with business goals, and pinpoint features that correspond with specific operational needs and preferences.
What is the importance of Wheel Alignment in ADAS calibration?
Wheel alignment's importance in ADAS calibration is crucial. With Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) like lane-keeping assist and emergency braking integrated into modern vehicles, precise alignment becomes paramount. ADAS relies on sensors, cameras, and other devices to accurately interpret and respond to driver inputs. Improper wheel alignment may lead to suboptimal reactions or overreactions, risking driver safety. Ensuring wheel alignment is fundamental for safeguarding the effectiveness and reliability of ADAS features in today's vehicles.
What does it mean to be OEM-Approved?
Being OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) approved signifies that a wheel alignment machine has been certified by the vehicle manufacturer, demonstrating its capability to accurately measure their specific vehicles. This approval is a testament to the alignment machine's precision and adherence to stringent standards set by the manufacturer
Does the alignment surface matter?
Absolutely! The alignment surface plays a crucial role. The surface must be completely level, as the alignment machine is designed to measure the caster, camber, and toe of each wheel precisely. An uneven surface could inaccurately indicate the wheel's position, the machine in turn may recommend an over-correction or under-correction based on this inaccuracy. These discrepancies may result in alignment issues once the vehicle is out on the road, highlighting the vital importance of a level alignment surface for accurate and reliable results.
