The new Hunter inspection technology automatically measures tire tread depth and captures vehicle identification in seconds as the customer drives through the service lane. Advisors are able to immediately pinpoint tire replacement opportunities. An alignment check can also be performed manually, in seconds.
Approximately 25 per cent of all customer tires are in need of immediate replacement or will need to be replaced soon. By auditing every vehicle and presenting timely, informative tire offers, shops are able to dramatically increase customer tire sales. Studies show 78 per cent of consumers maintain their vehicle where they purchase tires. Furthermore, motorists are more likely to buy a new vehicle from a dealer where they also get tires.
Hunter vehicle identification technology supports virtually every European licence plate. The system automatically captures the vehicle photo, then reads the license plate characters and locale. As an added feature, the vehicle name or VIN can be entered, saved and recalled for all repeat customer visits.
