Car Dealer Tire And Alignment Software

What to check before you buy

So test the path from finding to sale. How does the result reach the advisor and the customer?

A text with the alignment printout and a short explainer works. Does it flow into the digital inspection and the estimate?

Does a tire quote from your supplier appear beside it? Ask what the equipment needs: pit or ramp, floor space, network, and a calibration schedule with someone to do it.

Run a pilot. Measure alignments sold per hundred repair orders and tires sold per inspection, before and after.

Get the vendor's false-positive figure too. A wrong finding sends a customer away unhappy.

Settle the economics before buying equipment. Work out how many tire and alignment jobs the lane would need to sell to pay for the machine and its upkeep, what share of customers will accept a recommendation when shown the result, and what the supplier's tire pricing allows you to charge, then compare that with your current numbers, since equipment that sits idle because nobody trained the advisors to present it earns nothing.
