How High-Volume Used Tire Shops Can Speed Up Leak Checks with the WOJS AquaSystem

For used tire shops, time is money. Customers often bring in multiple tires at once, and every second spent checking for leaks can create a bottleneck in your workflow. Traditional methods work, but they slow down production when you’re dealing with hundreds of tires a week. That’s where the WOJS AquaSystem Tire Testing Machine becomes a game changer.

The Challenges of Leak Testing in Used Tire Shops

Used tires require more attention than brand-new tires. Many come in with slow leaks, punctures, or bead damage that need to be inspected before resale. The two most common ways shops check used tires for leaks are:

• Dunk Tank Method: Inflate the tire, submerge it in a water tank, and watch for bubbles.

• Soapy Water Method: Inflate the tire and spray it with soapy water to spot escaping air.

Both methods are messy, repetitive, and slow, especially when you have to check dozens of tires back-to-back. With used tires, you may find multiple leaks, meaning the process of inflating, testing, repairing, and retesting has to be repeated several times.

How the WOJS AquaSystem Works for Used Tire Shops

The WOJS AquaSystem Tire Air Checking Machine simplifies this entire process. Instead of inflating and dunking, you simply place the deflated, unmounted tire on the machine.

In under 90 seconds, the AquaSystem identifies leaks and tells you if the tire is repairable or ready for mounting. By the time it comes off the machine, your technician already knows what to do next.

Why Used Tire Shops Love the AquaSystem:

• Speed: Check each tire in 90 seconds or less.

• Scalability: Perfect for shops processing large volumes of used tires.

• Cleaner workflow: No messy water tanks or soapy residue.

• Consistency: Every tire gets the same fast, accurate test.

• Productivity boost: More tires processed = more revenue.

Real Impact on High-Volume Operations

Let’s say your shop handles 200 used tires per week. If you save just 3–5 minutes per tire on leak testing, that’s 10–16 hours saved weekly. Multiply that by 4 weeks, and you’ve freed up 40–60 hours per month. That’s time your team can now spend on mounting, balancing, and customer service instead of wasting effort on repetitive leak checks.

Final Thoughts

High-volume used tire shops need efficiency to stay competitive. The WOJS AquaSystem Tire Testing Machine gives you a reliable, fast, and clean way to test tires for leaks without slowing your workflow.
