BALANCE METHOD
Tyre is balanced and a diagnostic test is performed in less time with Hunter’s Road Force ® WalkAway TM premium balancer.
Tyre is balanced with standard non-diagnostic balancer or older generation Road Force ® balancer with the roller turned off.
QUALITY CONTROL 2
A few tyres need repositioning on the rim to guarantee a round assembly, adding only a few minutes at installation.
Customers perform the quality check on their own vehicle leaving the chance for a vibration.
3
SATISFACTION
Because the technician tested every assembly, all customers leave happy.
When a vibration is experienced, customers either return unhappy or never return.
AFTER THE BALANCE 4
Superior service differentiates Road Force ® WalkAway TM shops from all other shops.
An unhappy customer returning will add over 45 minutes of work that technicians are often unequipped to handle.
