CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Crystal clear pictures and
Tire and wheel service
accurate tire measurements. We have
increased tire sales (and associated
add-ons) as well as undercarriage
repairs by 25 percent in the short
time we have had this system.
Tire and wheel service
If your customers have a large capital
investment coming up for a tire changer,
wheel balancer, or wheel alignment
system, there's much to consider.
Service, training, and parts availability
may be top of mind for them, so make
sure to address those concerns. Or
perhaps they keep eyeing the latest
TPMS tool on display on your truck -
take them outside and show them how
it works because demonstration is a
powerful selling tool.
Maybe they just need a new tire inflator,
buffer, or lug sockets, so keep your
truck well stocked. According to our
PTEN Aftermarket Profile, 56 percent of
readers offer tire and wheel service at
their shop. We hope you're as pumped
about these latest tire-related products
as we are.

PROVIDES SHARP
IMAGE CAPTURE FROM
PASSING VEHICLES
The UVeye Artemis Tire Inspection
scans the tires of vehicles as they pass
and detects sidewall and tread wear
including tire age, sidewall damage,
rubber cracks and bubbles, air pressure,
tread depth, and more. The Artemis scanners
can be placed at an entry lane of
shops or dealerships, and within seconds
capture both the side and tread angle
indicating any need for tire replacement
and enhance upsell opportunities. n

updates are needed after replacement.
