Tyre Bay Direct’s 2020 Review – the good, the great & the excellent!

For many of us, there will never be another year like 2020 – the entire UK hitting multiple lockdowns, uncountable restrictions and businesses taking the worst hit of all. The effect of the pandemic has been seen across the entire automotive industry and specifically within the garage equipment sector.

Here at Tyre Bay Direct, we have continued to work tirelessly throughout what has been a difficult year, helping garage workshops to remain functional and keeping key workers on the road.

Since Lockdown 1.0, the bounce back within the garage industry has been remarkable and we have made the most of what can be only described as a ‘bizarre’ year.

Now we are looking back at why we have continued to thrive throughout the pandemic…

The Good…

Our wheel alignment machine range saw the introduction of our very first budget Laser Wheel Aligner – allowing any garage with any budget or requirement to finally take a leap into the world of alignment services.

The megaline System 4 Wheel Aligner is designed to cope with everyday bumps and bangs that occur consistently within a garage environment. The intelligent design is just one of reasons why customers choose this amazing alignment machine…

The Great…

Our fantastic delivery and service of all your garage essentials has been the key to our success throughout 2020. And this list would not be complete without mentioning our incredible team that have been amazing, dealing with every order flawlessly.

Speed up your garage services & save ££££s across your business!

Control panel interface with key pad and leds with heat output levels. Small, compact and easy to use heat induction system. HeatMate ventilation at the rear of the Hofmann Megaplan unit. Finger point accuracy of the HeatMate Induction system allows for close proximity to heat-sensitive parts.

For so many years now, many garage owners believe that having the latest and greatest tyre fitting machines was the only way to stay ahead of your local competition.

An aspect of this thinking is true and investing in reputable, high-quality garage equipment is a massive plus – ensuring quicker tyre fitting, garage operations & less manpower!

However, there is more than one way to stay ahead and keep customers coming back for more.

Here at Tyre Bay Direct, we have the answer…

Cheaper by up to 50% vs oxy-acetylene!

Don’t be that garage having to send a customer up the road to your local competitor, or even keep their car all day because you can’t sort an adjustment.

Heating tools have developed a lot & devices like the Heat Mate Induction Heater remove any excuse for you to complete essential work.

[ux_products type=”row” ids=”54921″]

Common workshop processes become a breeze including the unseizing of nuts & bolts, Track rod ends and ball joints. These jobs get quicker & safer, meaning you can offer them with confidence more often.

Why choose the Heat Mate?

Many garage heating tools will use the more traditional oxyacetylene which can be inaccurate and heat larger areas than required.

With the absence of a naked flame, you will be able to lower costs by more than 50% compared with the use of oxyacetylene tanks.

The Heat Mate can heat a precise location rapidly, without needing to heat the whole area. This allows you to work close to cables, pipes and other components without the risk of damage normally seen.

You’re saving time & making more money. It’ll pay for itself in no time!
