You may want to do something similar and see how much per labor hour tech time and dealership profits you are losing by having to load a truck, drive a half mile, unload the truck. I would imagine that in 6 months to a year, the lost time would more than pay for a tire machine and balancer. In our business time is money and breaking it down by the minute to a dealer principle and telling him he's actually losing money by not buying equipment might get him to act. Additionally, if your dealership is profitable he gets to depreciate and use the equipment as an expense deduction. |

Good idea, as for parts there are only two of us, me and my assistant and he does not have any experience...my goal is to get it where we do not have to rely on the local wholesale shops...that we are profitable enough through the shop not to have to rely on them.

They actual just published the NADA quote in this months Fixed Ops magazine. They have a whole article on missed tire opportunities. It's an interesting read if you get it.
