THE CHANGING TPMS VALVE GAME: GOOD, BETTER, BEST!

A few years on since the introduction of TPMS (“Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”), we are finally beginning to see a more rounded knowledge on TPMS from business owners and a more comprehensive offering from manufacturers to suit.

Back in 2015 when the new laws on TPMS were put in place, the industry was worried a lack of experience with these systems could hurt business – especially as the new laws meant cars were able to fail their MoT’s because of improper functioning systems.

Good!

Over the last year, Tyre Bay Direct have brought into the market a broad range of TPMS valves, tools and equipment, helping to bring awareness and enable garages to offer these much needed services to customers.

Better!

The team not only supply essential sensors and the necessary diagnostic tools to deal with these services, but through manufacturer training, our expertise are also on offer to best advise garage owners.

As with every industry, TPMS advancements have progressed so quickly that equipment becomes out of date in a flash. Tyre Bay Direct are already supplying essential updates and upgrades to ensure garage TPMS equipment is always programmed with the latest versions.

Motorcycle Tyre Changing: an entirely new revenue stream for your garage?

Motorcycle Tyre Changing: an entirely new revenue stream for your garage blog

 

Many garage owners and mechanics alike don’t realise the number of missed opportunities they fail to take advantage of when it comes to motorcycle tyre changing. Some don’t have the capacity or means to conduct motorcycle tyre fitting, whilst others simply fail to market it.

We’re approaching the time of year where numerous riders dig out their leathers and hop on their motorcycles. First port of call is often getting their tyres checked and changed. Are you taking advantage of this market?

[ux_products ids=”9711,7155,5826,5795,5476,5474″]

A Common Misunderstanding

“I’ll need specific equipment. It’s going to cost me more than it’s worth!”

Once again, we see an awful lot of garage owners assume that the price of garage equipment for motorcycle specific tyre fitting outweighs the need for servicing. This is not the case!

Whether you need specific motorcycle tyre changing equipment seems to be the main confusion amongst business owners. What many don’t realise is that you can use a standard class 4 tyre changer and wheel balancer!

They are fundamentally ready for motorcycle tyre fitting, but may require additional adaptors, tools and consumables. These come in at a fraction of the cost of a completely new machine whilst offering you dual purpose from your current tyre changer.

[ux_products ids=”8025,26415,10289,5624″]

Motorcycle Tyre Changing Equipment Made Simple!

Still unsure what machine you’re best getting? Sorting the right tyre changer and wheel balancer for motorcycle tyre changing can be confusing, especially when trying to find the perfect machines to compliment all of your current services.

All tyre fitting equipment works in a similar way whether its wheels from motorcycles or heavy commercial vehicles. A machine designed with motorcycle wheels in mind will offer more than just efficiency and speed. Our motorcycle compatible tyre changers, whilst continuing to provide extremely fast and simple operating features, offer ongoing protection for the wheel and rim at all stages of the fitting.

You can take a look at our motorcycle tyre fitting equipment page online for the specific machines that are compatible with motorcycle tyres.

These include the following compatible Motorcycle Tyre Changers or call 01527 883 580 now for free and impartial advice on the type of tyre fitting equipment you need from our experts who have worked in the industry.

Mobile Tyre Fitting Inspiration

Finishing Touch Alloys VanIn a bid to make walking around another trade show that little less boring – our unique stand, partnered with Finishing Touch Alloys over in the body shop sector.

Their brand new truck was on the stand kitted out with the latest Redback by Unite equipment from Tyre Bay Direct.

Our mobile tyre fitting equipment was showcased onboard Ian’s industry-leading wheel refurbishment truck. The brand new Redback RB202 Tyre Changer and RB109 Hand Spin Wheel Balancer were the perfect fit for his growing business.

“Automechanika 2019, the who’s who in the automotive industry, showing off the best of the best; from start to finish the show was filled with the latest innovations and ideas.

I personally enjoyed walking around and seeing our suppliers and of course seeing what the competition had to offer. It is really an amazing opportunity to meet our long standing customers that you only ever get to speak to on the phone, and of course, encourage some that aren’t yet using us to join the online revolution and cut out the cost of the Consumable Van.”
