The independent garage landscape is changing fast. What used to be reliable, repeat business from traditional engine servicing is no longer a given. With the rise of EVs and more efficient modern vehicles, many garages are starting to see traditional services decrease in popularity and have begun to notice a service gap.
But whilst the way vehicles are fuelled is changing, one critical factor hasn’t, all vehicles still have tyres that touch the road, and that’s exactly where your next revenue stream lies.
The reality now is that, according to SMMT, electric vehicle registrations are up by 24% year on year, fuelled further now by the volatile prices of petrol and diesel thanks to the conflict in the Middle East. This rise in EVs on our roads means vehicles will require significantly less routine engine maintenance, with oil changes, timing belts, and many traditional services becoming less frequent as electric becomes the new norm. Garages need to adapt services to stay profitable.
This shift to an EV-focused market isn’t a threat to workshops, though; it’s an opportunity for workshops to adapt in preparation for the future.
Wheel alignment is one of the most consistent, in-demand services you can offer. Every vehicle, regardless of how it’s powered, depends on proper alignment for safety, tyre longevity, and performance, and for workshops that don’t already offer wheel alignment, it’s one of the easiest services to introduce into your workshop.
With a starting investment of around £2,000, for a Supertracker laser wheel aligner, they can offer one of the fastest returns on investment in the industry. In many cases, a laser aligner can pay for itself within just a few months of light use, and setup is simple, with no complicated software and no steep learning curve. This is a same-day solution that can get you earning immediately.
As British-produced and manufactured aligners, Supertracker systems are designed and built with reliability, quality and excellent aftercare at the forefront of their engineering and are tailored towards the needs of the modern workshop. All Supertracker aligners have readily available parts and are backed by a nationwide team of engineers, because we know that for every workshop, equipment downtime isn’t just an inconvenience; it costs money. So, knowing there’s a knowledgeable support team nearby helps to give you peace of mind.
Every workshop is different, which is why flexibility matters. The Supertracker STR1 laser alignment range is designed to suit a variety of layouts and working styles.
A common misconception amongst workshops that don’t yet offer alignment is that it sounds complicated, with talk of angles and geometry seeming overwhelming; this, however, could not be further from the truth. Alignment is far simpler than many expect, and at Supertracker, we can offer comprehensive training sessions at installation, with one of our expert GEA-accredited engineers, ensuring your workshop is prepared to offer excellent alignment services immediately.
Supertracker’s STR1 laser alignment systems are designed for speed and ease of use. The intuitive hang-on system eliminates the hassle of adjusting clamps to fit each wheel, saving time and reducing setup frustration.
In its standard form, the system allows you to measure toe quickly and accurately enough to deliver a valuable, in-demand service right away. But if you want to take things further, upgrading with a digital camber caster gauge allows you to unlock full geometry checks, meaning you can offer more comprehensive diagnostics, expand into more advanced geometry work and charge accordingly.
Every time a customer goes elsewhere for wheel alignment, that’s revenue walking out of your door, and straight into the hands of larger chains. Bringing alignment in-house changes that.
As a low-barrier, high-margin service that can fit seamlessly into your existing workflow, there’s no reason not to offer wheel alignment as a service. Delivering fast return on investment and future-proofing your business against the ongoing shift in vehicle technology, the opportunity and demand for wheel alignment is there, and with Supertracker’s straightforward alignment systems, it’s up to you to take the next step.
