Unmanned drive-through alignment and tread inspection in 15 seconds.
Joe Schlueter, Morgan Auto Group’s VP of Fixed Operations, talks about the technological advantages and increased sales generated by Hunter’s Quick Check Drive® and Quick Tread Edge® at Jerry Ulm Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
Hunter Engineering Company’s Quick Check Drive® system provides autonomous alignment audits powered by Hunter’s award-winning WinAlign® software. Using 32 lasers and 8 cameras, the completely unmanned system scans a vehicle’s wheels as they drive through without stopping.
Mark Rhodes, President of Plaza Tire Service®, has invested in Quick Check Drive® and Quick Tread Edge® systems at all of the new Plaza Tire locations being built and has the goal of putting the inspection system in each of Plaza’s 67 locations.
Service Director of Suntrup Automotive Group, Elliot Silk, explains why Quick Check Drive® was the best investment made to help sales, retention and overall customer experience at Suntrup Kia South.
Hunter Engineering Company’s Quick Check Drive® system provides autonomous alignment audits powered by Hunter’s award-winning WinAlign® software. The completely unmanned system uses patented measurement technology to scan a vehicle as it drives through without stopping and provides total toe and individual camber measurements in seconds.
Eddy’s Toyota in Wichita, Kansas installed Quick Check Drive® automated alignment inspection systems in their service drives and saw an immediate return on investment, increasing their alignment sales by 300%!
In a 100,000 vehicle study, irregular tire wear is present only 13% of the time. If you check only tire wear and base your alignment assumptions on that, you are missing a wealth of opportunities from vehicles that are out-of-alignment but show regular tire wear.
Quick Check® Drive checks every vehicle's alignment.
Unlike Quick Check® Drive, many systems do not measure camber. Vehicles with only camber out would likely pass other systems' inspections, letting opportunities and profits go out the door.
Quick Check® Drive checks every vehicle's camber.

Set goals, track daily performance, and identify business trends in real time with HunterNet® 2.
Innovative technology
Scan a vehicle every 3 to 5 seconds, only activating when a vehicle is present.
Backed by Hunter's superior OEM specification database, pass/fail results are more accurate, saving time and avoiding comebacks
Automatically identify vehicles based on registered license plates. Add full-vehicle image capture of 40+ photos to prevent false damage claims (optional).
Optical and laser sensors accurately measure camber and total toe by taking 16 measurements per tire. Results are repeatable.
Scan each tire edge-to-edge and provide accurate 3D models to help sell replacement opportunities.
Automatically determines specs on most vehicles.
High-resolution images without aiming, focusing, or calibration
As the vehicle drives through, an image of the vehicle and license plate is captured automatically while in motion. Cameras capture front and rear license plates on every vehicle.
License information is determined from the photo. Home state is never assumed.
Automatically determine vehicle year, make, model and alignment specifications. Internet connection is required, powered by CARFAX™. No monthly subscription fees.
Customer's vehicle information and photo is automatically displayed on Flightboard™ and printouts for easily-guided conversations. Alignment angle results are compared against OEM specs.
Save your store thousands of dollars in false vehicle-damage reports
Cameras capture an average of 40 images per vehicle, and the intuitive interface displays vehicle info and date of service
Utilize your own collision repair service or refer customers to an affiliate repair shop.
Intuitive Damage-Cam interface displays vehicle information and date of service. 90-day image storage standard.
Large data sample generates a three-dimensional image of the four-inch testing segment
Precisely measures wet and dirty tires to maximize uptime and opportunities
Color-coded results quickly relay good, marginal or bad tread
Sipes, wear bars and stones can affect the results of a single-line scan - even scans taken in close proximity to one another.
Prior to digital measurement technology, tread depth was measured using a handheld, plunger-type measurement tool. This method is time-consuming and error-prone.
A bald tire edge will affect wet weather traction, resulting in longer stopping distances and poor handling.
When a vehicle is moving, the tire's contact patch expands to include the tire's edge
If the edge portion of the contact patch has no tread, it cannot shed water
Most edge wear occurs on the inner edge of the tire and is difficult to detect using the visual inspection methods
New tires (10/32")
New tires show clearly defined tread ensuring efficient water displacement.
New tires (10/32")
Any tire in motion will lose some contact with the road, but tires with well-defined tread will maintain better contact.
New tires (10/32")
At high speeds, even tires with well-defined tread cannot sufficiently displace water. Eventually, only the sides and back of the tire will make contact with the road.
Marginal tires (4/32")
Worn tires begin to lose tire tread definition, even when stationary.
Marginal tires (4/32")
Water displacement efficiency begins to suffer, with pooling at the front of the tire.
Marginal tires (4/32")
As speed increases, the worn tire's center has no contact with the road leaving only the sides somewhat in control. This makes for hazardous travel.
Critical tires (2/32")
At minimal tread depth, tread definition is barely visible.
Critical tires (2/32")
Tires with severely worn tread have far less contact with the road and allow a dangerous amount of water to pool at the front of the tire.
Critical tires (2/32")
High speeds are especially dangerous on critical tires. Water can no longer be displaced properly, lifting the tire off the road surface and hydroplaning out of control.
