Mike Melton walks through tire shop operations: test vehicle sensors first to protect yourself legally, invest in Road Force balancers at $35,000 each for precision work, and verify every tire's brand, size, and load range before installation to catch mismatches that could fail.
What he's going to do, he's going to be testing the sensors before we touch the vehicle. Because you want to test them before you touch them, because once you touch them and say the light doesn't work right, then customer's going to say it's you, you did it. Okay, so make sure you touch this stuff, make sure you're testing it before you touch it. It is very, very important. It's called CYA, cover your ass. All right, so as soon as we raise the vehicle like this one here, it's got the front raised, we don't have the rear raised yet. But once we do, we hit that timer, we time our bays. So this is how we do it. We got a truck or vehicle in each bay then, right? Say we fill them up, then we start lining them up outside ready to go for the next time. So one thing with our company, we use the absolute best equipment. You can't cheap out on equipment. A lot of companies do. Road Force balancer, we have 4 of these things. These things are about $35,000 apiece. There's a lot of people out here to say you can't afford them. Listen, how can you not afford them? I would get them in there, we get them pulled. What they do, they got to double-check and make sure we got the right tires, right load range, right brand, right size, and everything that goes for that vehicle. You never want to put the wrong tires or right or wrong load range on a truck.
