The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) Shop of Tomorrow display at the AAPEX show in Las Vegas will feature a Hunter WinAlign alignment console as the hub of the exhibit.
The Shop of Tomorrow is a live demonstration of how i•Shop Integrated Shop Standards improve work flow within the shop environment, the company said.
The i•SHOP concept of streamlining the service shop to increase productivity, profitability and customer satisfaction embodies the same ambition that drives Hunter in designing its equipment, the company added. Its WinAlign system was the first to comply with i•SHOP standards and obtain certification from the AAIA.
WinAlign systems provide vehicle-specific service instructions, specifications, tools and parts information, merchandising aids, customer service recordkeeping, and other supportive software features. Hunter said it makes this wealth of information available through any network-connected shop computer, as well as the aligner for seamless integration.
This connectivity gives all shop personnel access to the same information to help a technician solve a problem in the bay, assist a service writer explaining needed repairs to a customer at the front desk, or provide management with shop performance records in the back office, Hunter said.
The Shop of Tomorrow is located in AAPEX booth #3066. Hunter is displaying its latest products at SEMA booth #41031.
