Coats, a leading smart repair brand, has released the latest upgrades to its line of Maxx tire changers, further reinforcing the brand’s commitment to efficiency, durability, and user-centric design. The new enhancements include a digital air gauge and a redesigned air chuck, both of which deliver improved usability and precision for technicians.

The new digital air gauge replaces the traditional analog display, offering a more precise and easy-to-read measurement system, even in low-light conditions. Alongside this, the redesigned air chuck offers improved ergonomics and enhanced attachment to the valve stem, thereby minimizing the risk of air leaks and reducing the potential for operator strain. Together, these enhancements exemplify Coats’ ongoing dedication to designing products that meet the needs of modern technicians while prioritizing their safety and efficiency. Both upgrades will come standard on the Maxx 80 and 90 models.

“Technicians deserve equipment that makes their work easier and more accurate. With the digital air gauge and the newly engineered air chuck, we’re not just improving convenience—we’re adding meaningful upgrades that continue our longstanding tradition of safety and reliability in every tire-changing task,” said Ben Pryor, Vice President of Commercial for Coats. “These features build on the foundation of our Maxx tire changers, which are known for their durability and performance, and they showcase our commitment to continuous improvement based on real-world feedback.”

Coats’ engineering and product development process revolves around listening to the needs of technicians and shop owners. The updates to the Maxx line were directly informed by user feedback and rigorous testing to ensure these new features provide real, measurable value.

“At Coats, we don’t release upgrades for the sake of it,” said Kyle Harris, Senior Product Manager for Coats. “Every improvement we make is backed by extensive testing and built to address real challenges faced by technicians. The Maxx tire changers are built for durability, but they’re also designed with the user in mind—and these upgrades are a testament to that philosophy.”

The Maxx line of tire changers, launched in 2023, is known for its rugged reliability, and these new upgrades further strengthen its position as the industry standard in efficiency and safety.

“At the end of the day, we’re not just building machines—we’re helping build better workplaces,” said Pryor. “By upgrading these key components, we’re ensuring that every Maxx tire changer not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our customers.”

Coats remains committed to continuously improving its products to meet the evolving demands of the automotive repair industry. With the latest upgrades to the Maxx line, Coats continues to deliver on its promise of providing products that are engineered to perform and designed to last.
