From ground floor, to fully functioning.

WECO has long been recognized not just for providing high-quality automotive equipment, but also for acting as a trusted shop consultant. Over the years, WECO has assisted countless automotive shops by offering expert advice on optimizing their layouts and workflows, and selecting the right tools and equipment to enhance productivity. Their mission is simple: to help clients achieve maximum shop efficiency with well-planned setups that optimize workflow and capacity.


Expertise in Shop Layout and Workflow Optimization


WECO understands that no two shops are alike. Each one has different goals, space constraints, and types of services offered. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to improve an existing setup, WECO brings years of expertise in shop design. Their consultation begins by assessing the current setup or intended shop design and pinpointing areas for improvement. This could involve strategic placement of tire changers, lifts, or air compressors, ensuring technicians have enough room to operate without unnecessary steps or obstacles. This approach reduces downtime and boosts efficiency.


Consulting on the Right Tools and Equipment


In addition to layout and design, WECO also advises shops on the selection of tools and equipment based on their specific needs. For example, they recommend high-performance tire changers like the Ranger R745, which is ideal for handling high volumes of tire services in heavy-duty shops. For lifting solutions, they suggest versatile options like the SA10 Two-Post Lift, which can be configured symmetrically or asymmetrically based on a shop's space constraints. These recommendations are tailored to the workflow of each shop, ensuring optimal performance without overspending on unnecessary or unsuitable equipment.


Maximizing Shop Capacity and Efficiency


The ultimate goal of WECO's consultation services is to get the shop up and running at optimized capacity. Whether it's advising on air compressors from the Champion Advantage Series, which come with pre-installed accessories and are engineered for heavy-duty use, or recommending advanced refrigerant recovery systems like the Robinair 17800C, WECO's focus is always on delivering efficiency without compromising quality.


Through careful planning and expert advice, WECO ensures that each shop can meet its full potential in terms of productivity and service capability. By trusting WECO, shop owners can feel confident that their operation is built on a solid foundation of efficiency, safety, and long-term success.
