I'm buying my own alignment rack.
Ditto.
Hunter Hawkeye Elite. Hunter rep is due in this morning to install.
He said it was an all day process. Will be training on it tomorrow.
Pretty pumped. We have wanted an alignment rack for a long time but just couldn't justify the $$$. We finally got tired of subbing out our alignments to all of the idiots at the tire stores with their 1985 Snap On Clamp On $500 alignment machine.
As all of you guys said - the main reason we went this machine is ZERO metal contact on the wheels. It takes 90 seconds to check alignment on any vehicle - most alignments can be done within 15 minutes.
Now, I can FINALLY do mid perch on my truck myself because I refuse to let anyone else touch my truck for anything. The alignment is what was holding me back.
Will post up more pics later today/tomorrow as it is installed.
The main problem with this machine is it is going to be hard to ever recoup our investment. These things run a pretty penny and then you have every jack leg tire shop doing "alignments" for $49.99. Classic case of you get what you pay for. Honestly, to ever make any money with a Hunter Hawkeye Elite the alignment needs to run about $150 - $180. I mean you have $40,000 right off the bat just in equipment not counting the lift, 2 air jacks, labor, insurance, building, utilities, general cost of doing business, etc, etc, etc.
