Texas Operator Finds Hunter Inspection Lane
Ideal Compliment for Quick Lube Service |
|
Larry Ayres, owner of All American Super Wash & Lube Center in Wichita Falls, Texas, has found an ideal solution to a problem facing most successful quick lube operations how to capture additional sales and profits, and still keep service fast and customers happy. He added a Hunter Inspection Lane equipped with computerized brake and sideslip testers. In a sixty-second drive-through, the Inspection Lane measures actual brake performance and tests for sideslip, an indicator of misalignment or worn parts. This relieves Ayres’ service staff from the difficult task of selling and servicing at the same time. The Inspection Lane identifies actual and potential problems and the customer sees the results in a color printout. On an average day (about 80 cars) All American includes a trip through the Inspection Lane with every quick lube service. |
