Regal Autosport upgrade their Wheel Alignment Services with Q.Lign

Regal Autosport, a leader in automotive performance and tuning, sought to upgrade their wheel alignment technology to support their growing focus on vehicles with lowered suspensions, modifications, and race car setups. With a long-standing relationship as their trusted service partner for their existing Supertracker Wheel Aligner, Straightset was perfectly positioned to meet this need.

Regal Autosport together with Straightset explored the suitability of the Q.Lign wheel alignment system, a move that set the stage for an enhanced workshop capability tailored to their evolving requirements. Through a thorough consultation, demonstration, and seamless installation process, Straightset delivered a cutting-edge solution that combined precision, connectivity, and future-ready functionality.

The Need for Enhanced Technology 

The initial interest from Regal Autosport stemmed from their growing involvement with vehicles featuring lowered or modified suspensions, as well as race car setups. The company sought a solution that would not only provide greater accuracy and repeatability but also align with potential future needs, such as compatibility with an ADAS calibration rig. To find the best fit, Regal Autosport explored various wheel alignment systems, conducting a thorough fact-finding exercise to identify a product that met their immediate requirements while accommodating long-term goals.

Key Requirements 

Regal Autosport outlined several critical criteria for their new alignment system:

1.      Compact Design: A system that would maximise workshop space without the need for a cabinet or fixed post in front of the lift.

2.      Ease of Use: Quick and simple setup to streamline operations.

3.      Accuracy and Repeatability: Precision that adhered to vehicle manufacturer specifications.

4.      Advanced Features: The ability to integrate with an ADAS calibration rig in the future.

The Q.Lign system emerged as the ideal choice, with its innovative compact and mobile design, allowing wheel alignment checks to be carried out anywhere within the workshop, with no cabinet or totem pole, taking up valuable workshop space.  The OLED displays on each of the two measurement heads provide easy to view alignment data directly under the vehicle during adjustments, leaving your hands free for adjustments.

In addition, the unique fast attaching Q.Grips clamps and specialised Magnetic Clamps, allowed for non-contact rim measurements approved by leading manufacturers such as VAG and BMW.

Installation Process 

The Installation lead by our Wheel Alignment Expert with precision:

·         Lift brackets were securely installed on the existing scissor lift.

·         Existing turn plates were replaced with precision turn plates from Beissbarth after thorough cleaning of the recesses.

·         Measurement heads, target boards, and the latest database and software were configured.

The Q.Lign Viewer and Android App software were also provided, enabling Regal Autosport to manage alignment data across various devices. By connecting the Q.Lign system to their network via LAN, completed reports could be accessed and downloaded on any PC within the company’s server.

Ongoing Support and Training 

During the onsite training session, we took the full team at Regal Autosport to the end to end process of operating the Q.Lign system, including operating the tablet for vehicle selection from both the latest installed vehicle data as well as their own custom database, wheel alignment readings and reporting as well as optimum operation of the wheel clamps and troubleshooting.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond installation, a follow-up visit is scheduled within 4-6 weeks to address any questions or concerns. Additionally, a service contract covering annual calibration and database updates was generated to ensure  Q.Lign system remains in peak condition.

Regal Autosport’s investment in the Q.Lign system reflects their dedication to precision and innovation in automotive tuning and performance. The partnership with Straightset continues to thrive, driven by a shared commitment to excellence and forward-thinking solutions. This collaboration demonstrates how tailored technology and proactive support can empower businesses to meet evolving industry demands effectively.
