To perform an inspection, a porter simply drives the vehicle slowly onto the equipment and follows the step-bystep instructions displayed on the console screen. The entire test for brakes, suspension and alignment takes three minutes or less and is done without lifting the vehicle or removing the wheels. The most popular configuration is a brake tester and sideslip meter combination. This system checks the brakes and alignment of a vehicle and produces a printout in less than 45 seconds.

Shops that have implemented inspection equipment into their operations report alignment, brake and suspension service volume increases of 100% or more. With the increased revenue, the equipment has the potential to pay for itself in a year or less.

The opportunities of gaining additional service revenue through vehicle inspection exist, as long as you can find them efficiently and sell them confidently. With computerized inspection equipment, shops now have a cost-effective tool that not only finds opportunities quickly and easily, but also helps sell the service and trustworthiness of your shop to the customer.
