Dunk-tank leak checks

Leak checks

6
Wheels you dunk-tank to chase a slow leak.
15
Time in the tank, not counting the diagnosis before it.
Dunk-tank time is costing you about
$0
per month in tech time at the tank
6/day x 26 days x 15min/60 x $40/hr = $0/mo

Fix: Bubble Check

Spray-on tire leak detector. No dunk tank needed. It pinpoints valve and bead leaks so the tech can see exactly where the air is going. 32oz bottle with a trigger sprayer, sold by the case of 6.

This number is the cost of the minutes at the tank, not the number of leaks you check. A spray-on check does not change how many wheels need checking. It changes how many minutes each one takes.

Every number on this page comes from the sliders above. We do not add an industry average, we do not assume a savings percentage, and we do not know your shop better than you do.

What we will say is plain: a comeback you never have, a dunk tank you never fill, and a wheel that never gets scratched are the cheapest jobs in the shop. Test the products above and watch your own number move.

Print the report, run the numbers past whoever signs the PO, and see what the sample changes.
