Tyre Bay Direct

Leigh Stote of Tyre Bay Direct says that ever more garages and MOT stations are enjoying extra revenue through doing tyres in house.

“A lot of our sales are to garages fed up with getting the tyres and wheels in and then having to go up the road to get someone else to fit them,” he says. “Also, many garages that first did it themselves two or three years ago are now coming back to us to upgrade their semi automatic machine to a fully automatic model with an assist arm. The most popular one we do is a 24in – it takes all the pressure off the technician and means one man can easily do a 19in run flat tyre.”

Mr Stote emphasises that established garages have an important advantage over their fast fit rivals. “Fast fits are often new start-up businesses whereas most independent garages have a large existing customer base,” he says. “As soon as people know they offer a tyre service then even the more expensive machines quickly pay for themselves.”

This September, Tyre Bay Direct focuses on Ravaglioli’s Leverless Technology, of which they are the sole distributor.  Capable of mounting and demounting all specialist wheel/tyre combinations including reverse rims, PAX, run flats, BSR and SST, Ravaglioli’s range of leverless machines is the only solution for the professional tyre bay.  The cutting edge features of this range include laser-guided Autotouch technology which ensures precise positioning when breaking the bead without risking damage to the rim and the patented RoboTool mounting head, which levers on the rim itself to avoid excess stress to the bead.

Ravaglioli – a leader in the field since 1958 – offers the user maximum control but requires minimal operator effort; particularly demonstrated in the patented Invemotor of the leverless machines.  This innovative technology allows the user full control over the rotation speed yet automatically slows down as pressure on the bead increases to avoid damage to the tyre.  With a huge range of adaptors and accessories available to tailor your Ravaglioli leverless tyre changer to your exact requirements including an adaptor for ‘blind’ wheels, a pneumatically powered bead depressing arm and a wheel lift for larger rims to name a few, Tyre Bay Direct will work closely with the client with installation and training also available to ensure the machine is fully customised to meet the customers’ requirements.
