Choosing the Right Model for Your Shop

Selecting the right wheel alignment system is a critical decision that affects your shop's efficiency and productivity. A fitting model caters to your space availability, accommodates the various skill levels of your technicians, and matches the service volume of your shop.

Selecting the Perfect Fit for Your Shop Space

Choosing a model that suits your shop's physical size guarantees optimal functionality and creates a comfortable workspace for your technicians. Regardless of the dimensions of your shop, Hofmann has a wheel alignment model that seamlessly aligns with your available space.

For smaller shops, our compact geoliner 609 is an excellent option, delivering accurate alignments while optimizing your workspace efficiency. Conversely, larger shops might prefer the expansive geoliner 770, which offers advanced features while accommodating most vehicles with ease.

Matching Your Skill Levels and Shop Volume

When selecting the appropriate wheel alignment system for your shop, it's vital to take into account both your shop's service volume and your technicians' proficiency. Selecting a model that aligns with your service demand and your team's expertise is key to ensuring optimal shop efficiency without overburdening your technicians.

In high-volume workshops staffed with experienced technicians, the geoliner 678 stands out as a prudent choice. It incorporates advanced technology, which streamlines and expedites the alignment process, enhancing overall efficiency.

However, in the case of lower volume repair shops or those employing less-experienced technicians, the geoliner 660, known for its user-friendly interface, provides essential alignment capabilities without introducing undue complexity.

At Hofmann, we understand that every garage's needs are unique, which is why we offer a spectrum of advanced, efficient, and user-friendly wheel alignment systems. Choose wisely to unlock your shop's full potential for peak productivity!

FAQs

What should you consider when purchasing a wheel alignment machine?

• Ease of use: The machine's user interface should be intuitive and straightforward to use, reducing the amount of time it takes to complete an alignment.
• Compatibility: The machine should be compatible with a wide range of vehicle makes and models.
• Size and layout of your workshop: Depending on the space you have available, you may need a compact machine or one that can be easily moved around.
• Technology: Advanced features such as live readings, automatic camera tracking, and error detection systems can make the alignment process more efficient and accurate.
• Training and support: Look for a manufacturer that offers comprehensive training and ongoing technical support.

Can I use Hofmann wheel aligners with any type of lift?

Yes, our wheel aligners can be used with most types of lifts. However, it's always best to consult the product's user manual or contact our customer support team to ensure compatibility with your specific lift model when performing alignment services.

What does it mean to be OEM approved?

Being OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) approved means the wheel alignment machine has been officially approved by vehicle manufacturers. This approval indicates that the machine meets manufacturers' stringent standards for accuracy and performance.

How do caster, camber, and toe affect tire wear?

Caster, camber, and toe are alignment measurements that greatly affect tire wear:

• Caster is the angle of the steering axis. Improper caster can cause loose or hard steering, leading to uneven tire wear.
• Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel. Incorrect camber can lead to wear on one side of the tire.
• Toe is the direction the tires are pointed compared to the centreline of the vehicle. If the tires "toe-in" or "toe-out" too much, it can lead to rapid tire wear.
