Clients have taken notice. Alan says they’ve been very satisfied with Rapida’s work, since it’s faster and more precise. Moreover, using their previous equipment, they often had comebacks. “Today, we no longer have corrections or claims,” he says.
Alfonso Cardenas is responsible for alignment and balancing at Nicaragua’s Grupo Q Workshops, and he’s glad he is. “Thanks to the acquisition of the new Hunter aligner, our company has improved its service and meeting our customers’ demands,” he says. “They feel confident coming back to us.”
The technology and data are the difference makers. “Our team now has a database of all the vehicle models,” Alfonso says. “The data guarantees that our service is accurate.”
Hunter met Alfonso’s expectations by guaranteeing a breadth of specifications “that other workshops do not offer,” he says. “We’ve managed to comply and get ahead thanks to the Hunter team.”
