What should you know before you open your own tyre bay? What is the essential equipment for that business?

Tyre service equipment – all you have to know

Before you open your tyre service, you have to get all the essential tyre equipment. We’re sure you know what that is – but we will remind you anyway. There’s a couple of things you have to consider:

• tyre changer
• wheel balancer
• car lift
• impact wrench
• compressor

What is the most important thing while choosing a tyre changer? See the most important difference – automatic vs semi-automatic unit.

• semi-automatic tyre changer with an arm swung to the side
• automatic tyre changer – pneumatic arm, automatically goes to the back, adjusted with a pedal.

A semi-automatic tyre changer is a perfect choice for those looking for additional units in their workshop. It may also be a great choice for car mechanics who look to offer tyre change at their garages.

For instance, if you specialize in car repair mainly and tyre service is an addition, choosing a semi-automatic tyre changer is a good idea. However, if you made tyre service your main business, getting an automatic unit would be much better. Even though it might be a little more expensive, you will appreciate its advantages quickly.

Picture this – it’s the middle of the season and there is a line of cars waiting at your service’s gate. An automatic tyre changer would make your work much quicker.

Tools for all tyres

• impact wrench
• compressor

What is the best place for opening the tyre service at? Think about where you’re going to have most clients.

Best spot?

There’s no rule of a thumb here. A service located in the city center may bring in more money than a tyre bay at a small town. It may but it’s not a rule.

Drive around your city and try to find places where the biggest tyre services are at.

A good spot may bring up more clients to your service. And the more satisfied clients you have, the better money you get.

Nice spots:

• shopping mall parkings,
• new residential areas
• areas of well-frequented roads,
• guarded parkings.
