Supertracker partners with Mantra Learning to train future vehicle technicians on wheel alignment systems

Supertracker has partnered with Mantra Learning, national leading logistics and automotive learning provider, to support the next generation of vehicle technicians.

The collaboration is part of Supertracker’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitment to skills development within the automotive industry. With demand for skilled technicians continuing to rise, the initiative comes at a crucial time when  the automotive sector is among the UK’s top six industries for unfilled jobs, with technical roles such as vehicle technicians particularly hard to recruit (IMI Labour Market Briefing, May 2025).

Through the partnership, Mantra Learning students will gain hands-on experience using Supertracker’s charged-coupled device (CCD) STR420 8-sensor wheel alignment system that’s widely used in workshops nationwide.

“The CCD aligner is a brilliant new addition to our training centre in Manchester and through this partnership, we’re equipping future technicians with confidence, practical skills and job readiness. Understanding wheel alignment and knowing how to operate the machine is an invaluable skill within any workshop,” said David Hoad, Leading Automotive Tutor at Mantra Learning.

Supertracker’s engineers are training Mantra Learning’s tutors on the STR420 to ensure the system is fully embedded into teaching, with students benefiting from features including:

  • A large, regularly updated vehicle database, ensuring relevance across the latest models
  • Simple, intuitive software with built-in help screens which builds confidence
  • Quick, efficient setup with a hang-on system that maximises workshop efficiency

“By supporting future technicians with the access to a training machine such as our product, we’re helping to close the skills gap that is impacting our industry. Training Mantra’s tutors on the STR420 ensures students leave with the confidence and capability to succeed in the workplace,” said Andrew Bates, Managing Director of Supertracker.

“As an industry, we need to invest in the next generation. Supporting organisations like Mantra Learning is central to ensuring tomorrow’s workforce is equipped with the knowledge and tools they need.”

With nearly 40 years of expertise in wheel alignment, Supertracker is proud to support the future of the automotive aftermarket. This partnership reflects the company’s ESG commitment to skills development and building a stronger, more sustainable workforce.
