Many times, the only way a customer can afford to buy a new alignment machine is to trade in their old alignment machine. In this tough economy, sales of new alignment machines (and many other pieces of automotive equipment) have declined from previous years. That is simply not true and is nothing more than a 'scare tactic' to convince the prospective customer that he cannot repair or calibrate his own alignment machine. Many Big name alignment manufacturers' representatives have been known to tell customers that they must buy only their Big name brand alignment machines, because other alignment machines cannot be serviced. Both the HunterВ® sales representative and the HunterВ® service representative make commission dollars when a new piece of HunterВ® equipment is sold in their area. HunterВ® service representatives are independent business persons who derive their income by installing, repairing, or upgrading HunterВ® equipment. One of the most important things for a customer to consider when buying a used HunterВ® alignment machine (or any other BIG name alignment machine) is not only the initial cost of the machine, but the costs of the continuing service requirements and upgrades in the near future. (And may be lower than the price of a used HunterВ® alignment machine). In fact, we believe the Edge alignment machine offers more 'user friendly' features than any new or used HunterВ® alignment machine and is sold at a price that is way below the price of a new HunterВ® alignment machine. Actually, the features and accuracy comparison of a new HunterВ® to a new EdgeВ® is quite similar. However, the comparison between the HunterВ® alignment machine and the Edge alignment machine is not even close to accurate. The car comparison may or may not be accurate. Many HunterВ® salesmen would have the customer believe that a used LexusВ® (HunterВ®) is worth more than a new KiaВ® (EdgeВ®). Why would a shop owner pay more for a used HunterВ® alignment machine than he would for a new Edge alignment machine? Used HunterВ® alignment machines can easily sell for over $10,000. New HunterВ® alignment machines (the computer alignment.not including the alignment lift) can easily cost over $30,000. Other well known alignment machine manufacturers (with a good reputation and a large service organization) are Snap-onВ® and John BeanВ® and HofmannВ®. HunterВ® makes excellent equipment and has a very large service organization. Hunter EngineeringВ® has one (if the not the best) reputation in the alignment Industry. Let's consider some reasons as to why many shop owners believe that buying a used HunterВ® alignment machine is their best course of action. The question is whether or not they are spending their equipment dollars wisely when they invest in used automotive equipment. In today's tough economy, all shop owners are trying to stretch their equipment dollars. Why spend your alignment equipment dollars on older (and sometimes obsolete) alignment equipment, when the same amount of money will buy an alignment machine that costs about the same as a used HunterВ® alignment machine, but does so much more. Used alignment machines (after all the costs are included) may cost more than a brand new (state of the art) Edge alignment machine from Greg Smith Equipment.Д«efore you spend $5,000 or more for a used HunterВ® alignment machine (or any other BIG brand name alignment machine) please consider buying a brand new Edge (state of the art) alignment machine from Greg Smith Equipment.Used alignment machines have no warranty.The cost for this service may be thousands of dollars. Used alignment machines may need to be 'updated' and 'serviced' by the local wheel alignment service representative before they can operated.Used alignment machines are 'old technology'.
