Thats right boys.
Here’s how the story goes.
SG as you may or may not know has always had low aggressive vehicles
naturally, being suspended by 4 rolling tires these vehicles often needed alignments. We would then take these vehicles to other shops in order to get these so called “alignments” done.
What we continued to find was that our vehicles were just too low and too ridiculous to efficiently align.
So then one day we decided to buy a cheap alignment machine to do alignments!
It didnt work.
It still sits in the shop to this day.
But the requirement for low vehicle friendly alignments did not go away and thus we ventured on, telling ourselves that we must use sg style to buy an alignment machine, only the best!!
So we called snap on. Lol. Then we called Bear. Lol. Then! We called Hofmann. Now Hofmann is essentially the same as Snap-On in the States, John Bean, Snap-On and Hofmann are all the same products with different branding. Think GM.
So after much review research and consulting we’ve purchased a brand new alignment machine that uses the latest imaging technology, bluetooth, magnesium casings, you name it we got it. But we’re doing things a little different than most shops, because we’re setting this up for you boys with low cars and low bumpers.
Rather than using a 4 post hoist we are using our 2 post hoist, so driving up steep ramps is no longer required to get your car aligned! OMG! There are no longer air jacks that will smash your underbody as you try to drive on the alignment machine and best of all when we get corner balancing scales we’ll be able to not only do alignements but alignments and corner balancing all at once!
So there you have it children, the story of the sg alignment.
Will update with pics when she arrives!!
For now, here is the Snap-On version of the Hofmann machine we’ve invested in:
We will be starting our system out with introductory pricing until Oct 1. 2008!! 80$ up to 1hr, 80$ hourly thereafter, can’t beat it!!!
Lastly, trust SG to evaluate your suspension type (strut, multilink, double wishbone), tires, driving application, and wear vs. performance compromise to offer you ideal alignment settings.
I just cracked my neck really hard ow
