| 17 December 2008: Snap-on Diagnostics, brand leaders in diagnostic tools, software and information for the automotive industry, has announced that, as a result of strong customer demand, it is expanding its product offering with the launch of a new Snap-on range of lifts, tyre changes, wheel balances and wheel aligners.
“Over recent months we have been receiving more and more requests from our customers for us to be able to offer a complete Snap-on workshop offering in addition to our existing air conditioning, emissions and ATL equipment plus our best selling ‘family’ of hand-held diagnostics tools,” says Helen Taylor, UK Marketing Manager of Snap-on Diagnostics. “This led us to recently complete a full review of Snap-on branded products currently available to the UK garage and workshop.
“As a result of this review we made the decision that from 2009 we want to be in a position to equip the full workshop, whatever its size. In many ways it is a natural step for us. We are very excited about the market potential for our new range of workshop products.”
There are five lifts in the range designed to suit every workshop need, up to the 4.0t SVL 40 HBL3 Asymmetric electro-hydraulic baseless lift with twin ram - ideal for light commercial as well as standard vehicles – and all options come in single or three phase. Snap-on is able to offer its customers full support in their purchase, as site surveys, drawings and installation are all completed in-house.
Also adding to the range, includes two Snap-on wheel balancers, with the top of the range being the SWB20 semi-automatic data input motorspin balancer with ALU mode, wheel guard and automatic spin. Three new Snap-on tyre changers to complement the package are now on offer, the most high profile being the Snap-on STC50 automatic tilt arm tyre changer 10-24” wheels 1 Phase c/w Pro low profile helper kit. The range is completed by two 4 wheel laser alignment systems both sharing the same basic part number – SAC4L – but one being trolley mounted and the other wall mounted.
“It is great news for us that Snap-on is now able to offer a complete workshop equipment solution,” continues Helen Taylor. “Our customers now have a one-stop shop for the majority of their workshop equipment needs. And, because they are buying from the Snap-on range of products, they can expect the highest quality combined with unparalleled levels of service and support.
“Our sales and back-up teams have all the expertise necessary to advise our customers in the vital area of workshop equipment selection. Our network of UKAS accredited engineers will install the majority of our new Snap-on products and are also responsible for making on-site visits for routine maintenance and calibration, as well as being available to offer full product support by telephone.
“This new Snap-on range of lifts, tyre changes, wheel balances and wheel aligners gives us, we believe, an exciting portfolio of products to offer to UK garages and workshops in 2009 and beyond.”
