Wheel alignment machine buying guide

Choose wheel alignment equipment around the bay you want to operate.

A wheel aligner is only part of the alignment bay. Compare measurement technology, vehicle coverage, lift or platform compatibility, target or sensor workflow, software/database support, calibration and the space needed to use the system properly.

Wheel alignment machine cost 3D vs CCD vs laser What equipment does an alignment bay need?

GarageReady approach

Specify the alignment bay, not just the machine.

The aligner, lift or platform, turnplates, software, calibration process and working space need to function as one system. For ADAS work, confirm the vehicle and equipment manufacturer's procedures and requirements.
