Micheldever Refit Tavistock Tyres with Hunter

One of Micheldevers newest acquisitions, Tavistock Tyres in Devon, has undergone an extensive refurbishment programme, including the replacement of equipment.  The aim from the outset was to fit out the workshop to a very highest standard, achieve the optimum in customer service and efficiency/revenue generation. To help achieve this Micheldever chose key equipment from Pro-Align’s ‘world leading’ Hunter equipment range.

The improvements and reorganisation at Tavistock Tyres, has meant they have now been able to create a new dedicated alignment bay, headed by the Hunter Imaging Alignment System. The Hunter not only measures the four wheel alignment quickly but then leads the operator through a series of easy steps to minimise time on subsequent adjustment work. It is after all, completing the adjustment work that gets the job done.
The Hunter Imaging System is already proving its worth!

The addition of the new Hunter Balancer, with ‘SmartWeight’ weight saving software has also been making its mark.  Tavistock Tyres is now seeing savings in the order of 38% on their wheel weight usage and hence wheel consumables costs.

Tim Schmidt, from the Tavistock site said” The GSP9200 with SmartWeight is fantastic. It is really is exceeding all our expectations, we have already saved over 26kilos of weight! That is a massive saving, not only in the weight being applied but it is saving us thousands in money terms, with today’s wheel weights costs”.

Complimenting and completing the trio at Tavistock Tyres, Micheldever also selected Pro-Aligns top of the range Hunter TCX550 Tyre Changer with Bead Press System.  Impressed by the quality construction, to sustain the rigours of the busy Micheldever tyre shop, plus its design, for ease of technician operation– it too was the obvious choice.
