Tony Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Does this kick off tomorrow then? Fitting/ calibration network is established for a "soft roll out" all we are waiting for is the web-engine to be finished, seemingly this will be done last February Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.... It's a huge task to be honest and if this was easy everyone would be doing it, but it's not. The complexities has delayed the launch several months so this gives an idea how hard this addition to wim/BB has been. Saying that we are at the pinnacle of the launch.

Rich Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 How is the online ordering going to work...does WIM/BB receive them all and then get the customers chosen garage to contact them or will they receive the order themselves and deal with it?

SMARTLY Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hope it's all going to be tested fully on the website before it goes public That's my former job Tony, so would be happy to give the site a hammer if you like ( gratis of course ). Just give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTLY Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I've got a 2 year old Ford Focus coming Monday that I've bought, so may well try out the local leg of WIM. Is the Focus fully adjustable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Focus fully adjustable? Front/ rear toe that's it, other adjusters are available but only required if she's been slammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Yes, the web designer is about to get a javelin up his arse. Trouble is though this is the second time you've announced the launch...I take it everything else is in place and waiting for the website? I hope you're getting a good discount...time is money and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 It's as good as done.... Out of sight we are proofing the engine and adding centres, so going live in the next few days. This has been six months of misery and yet it looks so simple, i suppose if this were the case everyone would be doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 awsomeness, is there or when will there be a list of authorised WIM oporators? If you click "buy alignment" on the wim/BB web sites, then choose your car it will then take you to the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
