Testimonials

"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."

Tim Haburn
Parts and Service Director for Sunset Porshe/Audi

"The 3D alignment system with the marketing tools Snap-on brought to the table resulted in over $6,000 in additional alignment revenue/month. We have also generated a lot of additional sales of shocks, brakes, tires and transmissions. We had one truck come in for a wheel alignment and left with a rebuilt transmission, brakes and shocks, and now we have a customer for life!"

"The V3D System has allowed us to take a wheel alignment that used to take 2.5 hours down to 45 minutes with better results and documentation."

Scott Lucas
Service Director - Land rover of Portland

"We went from 10 alignments a month to 43 alignments - and 74 alignment checks - in the first month. This has impacted our customer paid labor number in a very positive way."

Andy Hudson
Service Manager - Beaverton Hyundai

"The alignment system brings in $3,500.00 + addition revenue every month and was a key for us to be able to break the 70k a month barrier this year. The 14k Scissor Lift is a pleasure to use and capable to handle anything we can get in my shop."

Kurt Caudill
Owner - Metro Car Care

"The 3D alignment system was instrumental in helping me have a January that was $10,000 more than any January this store has ever done. $4,000 of that was just alignment revenue."

Chuck Bush

"The V3D system has doubled the number of alignments we can do in a day and increased our productivity by at least 30%."

Ron Reichen

"The Arago V3D is so fast and accurate it allows me to do alignment checks and offer alignment and suspension work. I love that we can do all our race car work in house."
