Only 11 percent of tire sales are generated by franchised auto dealers. The aftermarket service industry has done an excellent job of capturing tire sales away from the selling dealer and, in the action, also capture additional repairs and service work. Whether for a dealership or an aftermarket provider, tires are the gateway to profitability and have to be a central focus.

To sell more tires requires that everyone puts forth a concerted effort to make the most of every opportunity. Identifying vehicles with tires that are nearing or at the end of their life can be done in seconds with Helios tire inspection systems. Whether the tires are worn out, badly cracked, or past their expiry, high-res images will identify the concern so it can be pre-sold.

The images can also determine symptoms of other issues like wheel alignment problems or worn/loose suspension. In under a minute, the customer can have a detailed report with visual backup that puts them in the mindset to get the work done on the same visit.
