At Modern Tire and Auto, Autel tools power faster tire service and precision diagnostics across six high-volume shops.
Modern Tire & Auto Service operates six high-volume shops in Connecticut, where staying productive depends on tools that are fast, durable and technician-friendly. At the Rocky Hill location, Autel equipment supports daily operations from customer intake to final calibrations in the bay.
General Manager Shawn Long says Autel’s TPMS tools and MX-Sensor line have simplified tire service across all locations. By programming MX-1 sensors in-house, techs avoid juggling multiple sensor types or sending vehicles to the dealer. Coverage is broad, programming is consistent and customers appreciate the straightforward pricing. Fitment issues are rare, and that saves time on every job.
Service Manager Joey Fiumara points to tools like the ITS600, TS508 and Autel’s advanced diagnostic platforms as key to keeping up with modern vehicles. These tools handle TPMS resets, maintenance light management and electronic parking brake calibrations, critical for efficient brake jobs. He calls “copy by OBD” a game-changer for brands like BMW and Audi, where sensor programming can otherwise be complex.
Technicians also rely on the TBE200 laser tread depth tool to eliminate human error. It captures readings across three tread zones and produces clear, customer-ready reports. For veteran tech Mark Fleming, the deciding factors are ease of use, durability and solid product support. Autel delivers on all three, making it a smart investment for busy shops that need their tools to work as hard as they do.
