Thinking of Buying a Tire Changer? What you need to know

Phoenix Automotive Equipment produces high quality wheel service equipment at affordable prices. As a dealer for Phoenix for more than two years, we at Clark Heintz Tools & Equipment, LLC have sold a LOT of their equipment - - their tire changers and wheel balancers prove to be a great choice for those opening an automotive shop and needing equipment to service tires, yet are affordable for the occasional racing enthusiast or multi-vehicle owner in need of an affordable machine that will provide long lasting service, even if only intermittant.

Check out the photo above to see inside a Phoenix tire changer - you will discover quality components, like metal air valves rather than plastic, a motor and transmission that run without vibration and transfer plenty of power to handle even larger wheels, such as Ford F350. Also, you will see a bead breaker cylinder built to last with 5500 lbs of force, and foot controls that operate metal air control valves structured for long trouble-free operation, unlike many higher priced products that use plastic valving but charge a premium price, which perform no better, and do not last.

Comparing Phoenix equipment with the big names you will learn Phoenix offers the same quality at a lower price (no big food chain to feed). We also offer better service; when you call, we answer. You won’t need to leave a message or pay ridiculous prices for replacement parts.

The top of the machine uses a large turntable (24″ or 26″), which is thick and rugged and ready to handle large wheels. Behind the wheel clamps there are air jets, the part of the bead blaster which assists in seating the bead for mounting tires. The air supply tank is housed in the upright tower, eliminating the need for an exterior tank. The adjustable air regulator and water trap is mounted beside the automatic oiler, which is necessary to keep the machine lubricated – where there is compressed air, there is often moisture. The oiler drips oil into the machine each time you use a foot pedal function, spreading lubricant throughout the system and limiting wear on parts. It is easy to fill, just spin off the reservoir, on and off in a minute. Strong large cylinders under the turntable move the rim clamps in and out and provide a solid grip on wheels. The steel duck head — which removes and installs the tire on the wheel — is lined with plastic inserts to protect against damage to wheels. This all-platic duck head is included as a standard piece. It may be installed when working with high end wheels which are fragile. Other brands charge for this as an option, usually $70-$100. Consider calling us today for a tire changer that fits your needs and budget. Phoenix Tire Changers are quality machines at an affordable price.
