ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is the buzz these days, and many shop owners are uncertain about investing in this technology. There is a lot to consider: The space required, the liability concern, the cost, the training, and will this technology change dramatically in the next few years. Are you considering investing in an ADAS system? If you have an ADAS system, can you share the pros and cons?

Hello everyone, first post here, I'm in the process of opening an actual shop, i've been a mobile mechanic for 10 years. I specialize in hybrid and electric vehicles. I've been searching prices on fluid exchanger machines, lifts and other pricey equipment. I've been looking at some really cheap Chinese equipment on ebay, i'm just wondering if anyone here has successfully used any of this equipment. It's tempting but I know the old "you get what you pay for" mantra. They got lifts for $1,600 and ATF fluid exchangers for $335. Might be worth trying the fluid exchanger on some of my own vehicles for that price. I appreciate any input, thank you!

So I am moving away from the automotive industry and will be staring a mobile heavy diesel repair and service business. Does anyone have any good contacts or know of any forums that would be of benefit to me to get some mentoring and some advice from the pros? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I found this alignment rack on craigslist, the guy is only asking 1000 for it, its older ya but in perfect working condition just needs some cleaning and a little maintenance. It is the Hunter Lite-A-Line system, I'm looking for anyone with experience with this system, is it good? bad? will it do a 4 wheel alignment? is it worth 1000 or is that not that great of a deal? thanks! Nate
