Testimonials

"I just wanted to say thanks for the time you spent during your recent visits. My staff, (especially the new tech) appreciates the time you took from your day to explain the features and functions of our alignment machine. The service has always been great and I have to say that Chuck keeps our equipment in excellent condition and always takes our downtime into consideration when dealing with our problems.

Thanks to that level of service I really can’t remember the last time I had to go a day without a working alignment machine.

As always, thanks for your help."

"Last March we purchased our John Bean V3D aligner; it was the smartest purchase we’ve made. Not only does it profitably take care of our customers needs, but we also check all of our used vehicles’ alignments. With profit margins so tight the last thing we need to do is end up having to buy new tires for a used vehicle that came in with a bad alignment."

"We first became familiar with Snap-on Equipment a couple of years ago when we opened a body shop in downtown Orlando. Being a new business we were long on needs and short on cash. Our Snap-On Equipment sales rep, Tim Tipton, worked with us, and over a period of a year we added a Shark measuring system, a Blackhawk 700 welder, a Series V tire changer and Series III wheel balancer. We decided we needed to control the quality of our work even more and decided to stop subletting our alignments. We asked Tim to find a solution for us. He was able to help us get the financing we needed to add a lift and V3D alignment system. The quality of the equipment and the great service has helped our bottom line so much we have opened a second body shop in Sanford, Florida.

Once again our Rep, Tim Tipton helped us find the best deals and the best equipment for our needs. He always keeps an eye open for the best deals for us. He helped us acquire an Arago V3D aligner, a Shark measuring system, tire changer and BFH 1000 wheel balancer for the new shop this year. We feel very confident that we will never have to turn away any job because of not having the equipment to service it.

We are planning to move our Orlando shop to a new location this summer. We will be taking the best equipment from both locations to make the new location a very high quality shop. We’ll have Shark measuring, Blackhawk welders, an Arago alignment system, a Series 5 tire changer and BFH 1000 wheel balancing at that shop also. Plans are for another location to open this fall.

Our success is due in part to the high quality of the equipment and the great guys working for Snap-On Equipment. Everyone from the company has been very helpful and always interested in our success. When Tim said we were not just buying equipment, but a whole team, he really meant it. We have a great relationship with Ralph Ronaldi, the Service Tech and the lift installer Gene Dials. We know that if we ever need help it’s just a phone call away. Whenever we need anything, Tim is our first phone call. We look forward to continuing to grow and do more with Snap-On Equipment."

"In early June of 2006, I purchased my John Bean V3D aligner. By the end of June, we had performed more alignments than we did in January-June of that year. This is mainly due to the speed of the unit and the fact that my technicians enjoy using it (they no longer have to fight with our old aligner).

Since then, I have pursued fleet accounts, confident that I could now take care of their needs. This additional income allowed me to purchase the John Bean BFH wheel balancer, a John Bean System V tire changer, and a Snap-on Modis station.

We are going to re-do the floors in the shop with an epoxy coating in the next few weeks (weather permitting). We then plan to purchase a John Bean 14k scissor lift, to take care of the larger trucks I now need to align.

Despite the economy, I have never been busier."

"The V3D system has allowed us to check every car for alignment in our inspections and provide evidence to sell alignments. This has helped us to be the top Audi dealer in Tire sales on the west coast. The BFH 1000 Balancing system allowed us to produce a better product for our customer and use tires our Road Force would not allow us to use."
