Invest in Your Shop Today for Tomorrow’s Success

Set your shop up for a profitable future with innovative and reliable equipment

As we kickoff 2025, you might be thinking about ways to ramp up your shop’s game in the new year. Let’s be honest – those well-worn tools may have faithfully served you, but it’s time to ask if they’re really still helping your shop run at top speed.

Spoiler alert – the answer might be: “Not really.”

Picture this: a fully loaded shop with efficient, modern equipment designed to maximize productivity and revenue. Customers leave happy, come back for more work, and refer your shop to others. You become the go-to place in town, and business is booming.

That’s what an equipment upgrade can do for you.

Here are some considerations to keep in mind when evaluating your current shop equipment and services, when it might be time to upgrade and the benefits of future-proofing your shop.

Assess Your Current Equipment and Services

The beginning of the year is the perfect time to evaluate your current equipment and services to see what needs attention. When you take stock of things, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is your shop equipment – vehicle lifts, wheel service, A/C service, or frame repair and diagnostic tools – performing as needed, or are they limiting your shop’s throughput?
2. Are your service times typically fast, or are customers getting frustrated with wait times?
3. Is downtime from equipment issues eating into your profits?
4. Are you offering all the services you want, or are there additional services you’d like to offer?
5. What are your customers saying about their experience? Are you getting repeat business and referrals?

Outdated or underperforming equipment reduces efficiency and accuracy and increases service time, all of which contribute to lost revenue.

You should also consider age and usage frequency. The older your shop equipment gets, the less reliable it could become and the more likely it will break down. This leads to expensive repairs on top of the unplanned downtime, making it challenging to remain profitable. It can also reduce customer satisfaction, which harms your shop’s reputation.

Incentives to Improve Your Shop’s Service Offerings

Once you’ve examined your existing equipment and evaluated the services your shop provides, consider how each can be improved.

Today’s customers look for maximum value in their vehicle repair. So, along with updates to your shop equipment, the new year is a perfect time to revamp the services and service bundles you offer.

For example, suppose you’re ready to equip your shop to offer complete wheel service or add a new lift in a dedicated bay to work on a wider array of vehicles. In that case, Rotary Solutions has some incentives and helpful resources to get your 2025 off to a great start, including:
