BRIDGESTONE | BRIDGESTONE ASSIST
We can service the tyres on location
quickly and efficiently and the customer prefers this solution. We check the tyre condition and can prepare a report on what is needed. It is then up to the management of the fleet to decide on the next steps and we are ready to help them.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU HAVE ON ASSIST? We have all of the following: Two hydraulic jacks: These help us to lift the vehicle quickly and efficiently. Impact wrench: We use this to loosen the wheel bolts. These can sometimes get fused into position so a normal wrench would not be sufficient.
Tyre changer and compressor: This is what we need to change the tyre and fill it with air. Electrical generator: This is what powers the compressor and the tyre changing machine. Tyre safety cage: We place the wheel in the cage before inflating the tyre to recommended pressures. This keeps us safe in case of any incident as we use the compressor, which is very powerful. Wheel alignment machine: This includes very advanced technology that enables precision laser alignment. Wheel balancing machine: This is one of the final procedures after we have replaced the tyres to ensure they are
all balanced and work in harmony. Of course, we also have onboard all the tools that are needed to open and fix the tyre.
WHAT MAKES BRIDGESTONE ASSIST THE BEST? First and foremost, we give our customers the very best product and support this with proper and professional work. There are other repair services but nobody has the same level of facilities and equipment that we have in the van. Even simple things like the tyre mounting paste are important. Some support services are not using the correct substance – trying to do this with oil for instance – which can damage the tyre.
