Overview: Coats Tire Equipment That Keeps Techs Moving

Every minute a tech spends standing at the tire changer waiting for a tire to hit pressure is a minute they're not turning the next job. The COATS 5009184 Autoflate Digital Inflator fixes that. Set your target pressure, attach the chuck, hit start, and walk away. The unit fills the tire and shuts off automatically at the exact PSI you dialed in.

That hands-free step is the whole point. While the Autoflate finishes a tire, your tech is already breaking down the next wheel or mounting the following one. In a bay running back-to-back jobs, that overlap adds up fast. Coats built this unit specifically to eliminate the dead time between mounting and moving on, and shops running it report shaving 5 to 10 percent off total job time.

Accuracy matters as much as speed here. The Autoflate holds inflation within 1 PSI of your target, so you're not second-guessing whether a tire is under or over spec after the auto shutoff kicks in. That precision, combined with the automatic cutoff, means fewer comebacks for underinflated tires and less manual double-checking with a hand gauge.

Buying it from Garage Supply Guys means you've got a direct line for support and replacement parts if you ever need them, not a call center routing you through a manufacturer's general queue. If you're already running Coats tire equipment on your changer, the 5009184 slots into your workflow without retraining anyone. It's a straightforward add that pays for itself in throughput.

Applications

High-Volume Tire Shops

Shops running multiple changers back to back get the most from hands-free inflation, since one tech can keep two bays moving instead of babysitting a single tire.

Quick-Lane and Express Service

Fast-turnaround bays where every job is timed benefit from consistent, automatic shutoff that removes the guesswork from hitting spec on every tire.

General Repair Shops

Shops that mix tire work with other repairs use the Autoflate to free a tech's hands for diagnostics or the next vehicle while a tire fills unattended.

Fleet and Commercial Accounts

Consistent, repeatable PSI across a batch of tires matters when you're servicing fleet vehicles that all need to land on the same spec.

Warranty

Tire changer and inflation accessories carry a 1 year parts warranty. Labor is not covered under this warranty tier.

Warranty registration may be required after purchase. Refer to included documentation for details.
