We looked into offering this type of system several years ago, but little things like how you do five repairs at a time in different parts of a parking lot with no power source kept haunting me. There were also issues of maintenance, cleaning, and of course cost that kept us from going down that road. Other than at trade shows, I rarely see them in the field.

As for speed, you can be done with a simple bullseye using a manual system before you even get the machine based system set up. We prove that over and over again at trade shows.

Still, we probably would have jumped on the band wagon if the finished quality of the repair was better, but I have not found that to be the case either. I'm sure others, especially the manufacturers of machine based systems, will disagree, but again, it's pretty hard to refute the results when working side by side at trade shows, and it is very easy to compare the speed and the quality of the finished repairs there.

At the end of the day, all that matters is how completely the breaks (all types of breaks) can be filled, and how fast they can be filled, in that order.
