What do you when you need a system that can do it all? Well, Pinard Ford went with our award-winning Multibench EXT and KiTO Holding System. Now they're experiencing:

✔️ Ultra Slim drive over design.
✔️ 12,000lb lift capacity.
✔️ A 4' 3" lift height.
✔️ Fixturing to hold vehicles without custom add-ons.

This is what "no compromises" looks like on a shop floor. Shoutout to Simon and team for delivering another top-tier installation.

Josh highlighted how artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a real tool that can help make your shop more efficient and effective in every aspect of your business.
From streamlining estimates to optimizing workflow and improving customer service, AI is changing the game for collision repair. Huge thanks to Josh for sharing his insights and practical tips!
