WHEEL SERVICE EQUIPMENT SPECIALISTS

When comparing Equipment, it is important to try and establish a set of criteria
to judge by. It is also important to compare a machine with the correct
opposition equivalent, so you are comparing apples with apples.

Attached is a list of criteria you can use as a guide line for making decisions
as to what Equipment to buy.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS: Does the equipment do the job you need? It is important
to ensure that you do not over buy or under buy the Equipment. Many Salesmen
will sell you Equipment that has more features than what you require. Many of
the Features that you pay for may not be needed for your requirements. Some
salesmen will sell you the Equipment they have in stock and not the Equipment
you need for the job.

EASE OF OPERATION: How easy is the Equipment to use. This is an important factor
as an operator has to use the Equipment day in and day out. The more difficult
the Equipment is to operate the longer the process takes and the less enjoyment
the operator has when operating the Equipment.

UPGRADING: Can the Equipment you purchased be upgraded? This is important as the
market is always changing. It may not only be a technical change but may be a
change due to volume increase. Can the Equipment handle this? If so, what are
the cost implications and time scales necessary to do these upgrades?

CONSUMABLE: Does any of the Equipment use consumables? If so, what is the price
of these consumables and the amount/frequency you will need them?

OPTIONAL EXTRAS: What are the optional extras that are available with the
Equipment? What is the pricing and availability?

CALIBRATION: If your Equipment requires Calibration how will this be done? Does
the Equipment come with a calibration fixture/rig? Does the Equipment have built
in calibration features? Are the calibration features easy to operate? If the
machine is to be calibrated by the supplier, what will he charge and the
frequency of this requirement? How long will the supplier take to respond to a
calibration call out?

SERVICE: If your machine brakes down or is not working properly, how long will
it take for a Service Technician to respond? What will the charges be for
spares, labour and mileage for this response? If spares are not available what
are they prepared to do to ensure you are not losing money? Are the Service
Technicians suitably skilled and knowledgeable?

APPEARANCE: It is important to decide on the type of image you wish your
Equipment to portray to a customer. Some shops consider the way a piece of
Equipment looks is important, where others are not bothered.

TRAINING: The type of training you receive from the company installing the
Equipment is important. It is not just the initial training but follow up
training. Often more than one visit is necessary to ensure the operator is
trained properly. If incorrectly trained, the operator will do the job
incorrectly, take longer and this will reflect back on the company in the form
of unhappy Customers and loss in profits.

ONGOING TRAINING: Should your operator change, is the company who supplied you
the Equipment prepared to come out to your shop and train the new operator. Will
there be any cost involved with this?

RESALE VALUE: Once a piece of Equipment reaches a certain age, it will need
replacing. Does the Equipment you have purchased have any resale value? Who is
prepared to purchase this Equipment and at what value. Remember that if only the
company that supplied you the Equipment will purchase it back from you, you may
end up in a situation where you will lose a lot of money if you wish to change
suppliers.

SUPPLIER: Who is supplying the Equipment? Many companies offer bargain prices to
make sales. Will these companies be around in a few years’ time when the
problems start with the Equipment? Is the supplier a stable company? What is
their track record like? What is the level of their Salesmen, Technicians like?

INFRASTRUCTURE: Does the company you are purchasing Equipment from have an
infrastructure? Is there someone at the head office you can contact in regards
to pricing issues, service issues, information and advice? Do you get regular
feedback from the supplier as to what is happening with his Equipment at your
branches.

NATIONAL COVERAGE: Does the Equipment supplier have national coverage. Does he
have branches throughout the country? Do these Branches have Technical as well
as sales staff? Are the branches proper offices or a one man operation working
from home?

COURTESY VISITS: Does the company you purchased Equipment from call in on the
branches on a regular basis or only when sales are available?

GROUP BENEFITS: If you support the Equipment supplier, what benefits are there
for your company? What advantages will you receive over other companies or
independent shops for this support?
