Eurosurgeon goes back to the source WHEN EUROSURGEON NEEDED TO FIT OUT A NEW WORKSHOP IT APPLIED A TRIED AND TRUE FORMULA urosurgeon, which services and tunes European cars, has been on a steady growth path since Joe Clifton founded the business from the back of a former St John ambulance eight years ago. He established his first workshop in 2016 in Mt Wellington, Auckland. Just two years later he set up a dedicated performance workshop and dyno centre in Patrick St, Onehunga, to meet the growing demand for tweaking and tuning high-performance European cars. Now Eurosurgeon is opening a third workshop, across the road from its original premises, dedicated to straightforward vehicle servicing. Joe says he has around 80 cars onsite at any one time and the new facility will allow him to grow the business, and free up space in the original workshop which has four hoists. Moving out the service work means that can now be dedicated to engine rebuilds and other intensive projects. The new service workshop has eight hoists and doors front and back to facilitate efficient one-way traffic. When it came to selecting the hoists, Joe went straight back to equipment supplier Automaster. As heavy vehicles aren’t on his radar, Joe knew twopost hoists would fit the bill. A clear floor design

was also important for low clearance performance cars. Automaster recommended five Automaster AM-6246Rs, one Automaster AM-7130 full rise scissor (with another on order), and an Automaster AM-8250TXD-R alignment scissor, plus a Vamag 3D aligner. “Service and flexibility and just ease of dealing with people is important to me,” says Joe. “Good service, price of course, and solid reliability. We got Automaster hoists five years ago and they are still performing well.” With reliability proven, Joe had no hesitation in going back to a trusted team. “They made life very straightforward,” he says. “They were good and simple to deal with.” The 4.5-tonne, two-post hoists have a low arm height design which is also important for low cars and the high motor position means they can be sited in narrow spaces. They also have high or low crossbar heights to suit different height ceilings. The 5-tonne alignment scissor lift is wide and long to suit both large and small vehicles. It has two rolling centre jacking beams and full floating rear slip plates. The Italian-made Vamag 3D aligner will do a complete 3D geometry check in under 30 seconds.
Lighting is adjusted automatically to compensate for changing conditions and cameras acquire targets automatically. Its patented measuring system means run-out checks can be skipped, saving working time. For more information call Automaster on 0800 214 604, or see automaster.co.nz.
