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 your technicians' skill level, and matches your shop's service volume.

Selecting the Perfect Fit for Your Shop Space

Selecting a model that fits your shop's physical size ensures maximum functionality and a comfortable workspace for your technicians. Regardless of your shop's size, Hofmann has a wheel alignment model to perfectly fit your 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 and can accommodate most vehicles with ease.

Matching Your Skill Levels and Shop Volume

Your shop's service volume and your technicians' skills are also crucial considerations in choosing the right wheel alignment system. Choosing a model that matches your service demand and your team's skills ensures that your shop operates at peak efficiency without overwhelming your technicians.

If you're operating a high-volume shop with well-experienced technicians, the geoliner 678® is a smart choice, providing sophisticated technology for faster, more efficient alignments.

However, for lower volume repair shops or those with less-experienced technicians, the user-friendly geoliner 660® offers essential alignment functions without overwhelming complexity.

At Hofmann, we understand that every garage's needs are unique. That's why we offer a range of wheel alignment systems that are advanced, efficient, and user-friendly. Make an optimal choice and unlock your shop's potential for maximum productivity!

FAQs

What should you consider when purchasing a wheel alignment machine?

Several factors should be considered 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 Hofmann customer support 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 centerline of the vehicle. If the tires "toe-in" or "toe-out" too much, it can lead to rapid tire wear.
