Wheel alignment 36 www.aftermarketonline.net DECEMBER/JANUARY 2026 Electronic vehicle health check (eVHC) specialists Auto3iii has recorded its biggest aftermarket breakthrough after integrating its digital communication technology with wheel alignment giants Pro-Align Hunter. In an announcement that will add significant levels of convenience for both independent garages and franchise dealers, Auto3iii has integrated its technology with the complete range of Pro-Align’s Hunter wheel aligners, converting their traditional print outs into customer friendly digital reports that can be sent to a customer’s phone for instant approval. Auto3iii said the move represents a sign of things to come, as integration with other aftermarket suppliers will become a regular activity in the months ahead. Motorists will benefit by being able to see one professional, easy-to-read digital report which details alignment issues and potential work. Workshops will gain from a highly professional and standardised way of working which saves huge amounts of time through one consolidated solution, rather than multiple customer updates and reports — often in paper format. Now what has always been a standalone piece of equipment in the workshop is connected to Auto3iii’s dashboard and, using AI, they can read the reports and transform them into something that customers understand! Clive Seabrook, CEO at Pro-Align, said: “This is an excellent development for us, allowing our customers to engage and communicate with their end-users in the most effective way possible. “The financial opportunity for customers to make more from alignment revenue is significant, but one of the biggest hurdles is the fact that frontof-house staff don’t necessarily have the confidence to engage with their customers and talk about alignment. With this integration — and with the reports that Auto3iii have developed — it is actually a very easy sell to the consumer. “It shows them what is wrong, what the impact of that misalignment is, and ultimately, what they should do next. “Alignment has been around for many years, and yet there is still the view in some quarters that it is not important, or that the consumer simply doesn’t understand it. We work tirelessly to help customers convey the messages and by integrating with Auto3iii, we will be able to do this in an effective, eye-catching way. It is a big breakthrough.” Auto3iii’s digital solution gives technicians an easy-to-follow structure via a mobile app, prompting them to complete bespoke checks while adding notes, measurements, photos or videos in real time. The software is fully customisable to meet the diverse needs of modern garages and simplifies aftersales. Auto3iii director David Leighton said: “Our message to the aftermarket is that ‘integration is happening’, as our relationship with Pro-Align demonstrates.
