While you may be somewhat limited when it comes to space and budget, there are certain types of lifting and testing equipment that all successful vehicle workshops need if you want to offer a comprehensive range of repair and maintenance services.
Whether you’re looking at starting a vehicle workshop from scratch or upgrading some of your current equipment, this article acts as a checklist for deciding what lifting and testing equipment you need in your workshop.
Roller Brake Tester
Roller brake testers are one of the best options when it comes to brake testing systems. This type of brake testing system is easy to use and offers accurate results, making it a must-have piece of equipment for your workshop. If you don’t have enough space for a roller brake testing system, you may want to opt for a mobile brake tester, which can utilise whatever space you do have available.
Column Lifts
While there are many different types of lifting equipment available, column lifts are a great choice to go with if you can only afford or have space for one type of lift. This is because column lifts are extremely durable and allow you to work on a wide variety of vehicles, including trucks, thus opening up your potential client base.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are inexpensive and take up very little space, so there is no reason not to have one in your workshop. They are ideal for carrying out small maintenance and repair jobs, especially when it comes to things like wheel alignment.
Dyno Machine
Okay, we’ll admit that a dynamometer is not a must-have workshop item. But owning a dyno machine can really put you a step ahead of your competitors, and dyno testing is slowly becoming more popular among average vehicle owners. While this is a large investment, you’ll certainly make your money back if you implement the right marketing methods.
Digital Headlight Tester
Digital headlight testers are one of those items that are inexpensive but incredibly useful if you want to provide your clients with a comprehensive experience.
