CHICAGO&nbsp;- March 21, 2022 – <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cccis.com/">CCC Intelligent Solutions (CCC)</a>, the SaaS platform powering the P&amp;C insurance economy, today announces asTech®, a Repairify company and a leader in diagnostic, calibration, and programming solutions, has joined the CCC® Diagnostics network. The integration makes it easier for repair facilities to capture and document scan information in CCC ONE® workfiles. This streamlined service is available now via CCC ONE.&nbsp; “We are proud to work with CCC to offer the thousands of asTech customers the ability to capture and share scan information as a seamless part of the repair process,” said Cris Hollingsworth, president, Repairify Global Holdings, Inc. “Repairers now have information they need right where they need it - in the workfile used to manage the repair. Safe, quality repairs are the primary Repairify objective, and CCC Diagnostics is an important connection for us to better serve the industry.”&nbsp; The integration does not require a physical connection between the asTech device and CCC ONE. Information is uploaded wirelessly and the scan report is automatically attached to the vehicle's CCC ONE workfile. Activation is simple. Repair facilities using CCC ONE select their preferred diagnostic provider(s) from those available through CCC’s network and providers send scan data directly to the workfile. For repair facilities using CCC® Repair Workflow, CCC Diagnostics will digitally capture invoices from scanning and calibration requests.<blockquote> “As vehicles increase in complexity, scans are an essential part of the repair process. Since 2017, we've seen a nearly 900 percent increase in appraisals that included a diagnostic scan," said Mark Fincher, vice president, automotive services group, market solutions, CCC. “Digitally integrated systems make it easier for repairers to access, capture, and document information needed to achieve complete repairs. CCC is committed to making it easier for our clients to achieve quality repairs and operate at the pace of innovation.”&nbsp;</blockquote> CCC Diagnostics enables CCC repair facility customers to view the results of pre-, in-process, and post-repair diagnostic scans from their selected solution provider(s) directly in CCC ONE, significantly improving the efficiency and transparency of collision repair scanning. Repairers using the solution can share the results of vehicle scans with consumers to explain the necessary repairs, as well as with insurers using CCC ONE, providing a verifiable record of the scan completed by the repairer. The CCC Diagnostics interface is available to OEM scan tool providers, aftermarket providers, and telematics-based diagnostics solutions. &nbsp;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cccis.com/collision-repairers/ccc-one/repair-quality/diagnostics/">Learn more</a> about CCC Diagnostics. &nbsp;&nbsp;About asTech, Driven by Repairify, Inc&nbsp;asTech is the leading provider of complete diagnostic, calibration, and programming solutions to the collision industry. asTech provides cutting‐edge expertise via remote and local diagnostic scanning using OEM and OEM-compatible tools for a safe and accurate repair, as well as access to the latest OEM-sourced calibration requirements, instructions, and services. asTech’s solutions leverage its patented technology and access to ASE and I-CAR Certified Technicians, who service many trouble codes remotely and provide real‐time assistance to shop technicians at the vehicle when needed. asTech also offers mobile repair, key replacement, remote and in-shop services.

Researchers used like-for-like tools on the same cars at the same time to ensure accuracy.&nbsp;In the process, the development team also created Repairify’s “OEM-compatible” designation for aftermarket scans that returned the same quality results as the original factory OEM scan for the same year, make, model, and trim. The research showed that the top-performing aftermarket tools returned OEM-level results as much as 78% of the time, while the lowest performers returned the same results 56% of the time or less.&nbsp;Repairify used this extensive research to develop a proprietary database of OEM and high-performing OEM-compatible scan tools to recommend the most accurate and cost-effective scan tool option, every time. When an OEM-compatible tool isn’t available, the Rules Engine recommends the same remote OEM diagnostic services that customers have come to know and trust.&nbsp;To add further confidence that asTech’s technicians are using a true, original OEM scan tool, in 2021 asTech began providing its remote OEM diagnostic customers with documented real-time electronic proof of the original OEM diagnostic scan report as part of its diagnostic reporting procedures.&nbsp;asTech customers who wish to enable the new Rules Engine feature can do so by contacting our Customer Service Team at 1.888.486.1166 or <a href="mailto:customerservice@astech.com">customerservice@astech.com</a>.

asTech’s Patented Rules Engine Now Available to Help Repairers Affirm OEM & OEM-Compatible Scans for Insurance Carrier Reimbursement

<h3>Rules Engine Case Study #1</h3><h4>Uncovering a Potential Safety Issue Due to Coverage Gap Between an Aftermarket &amp; OEM Scan Tool for the 2017 Kia Rio</h4>&nbsp;PLANO, TX – March 9, 2023 – <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.astech.com/">asTech</a>, a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.repairify.com/">Repairify</a> company and global leader in remote diagnostics, calibrations, and programming for collision and mechanical repair, released its first industry case study that illustrates how its patented and proprietary Rules Engine determines the most cost-effective and comprehensive scan tool for repairing a vehicle.To develop its patented and proprietary Rules Engine, asTech engineers performed tens of thousands of vehicle scans against the active car parc and engaged in extensive research to identify which top aftermarket tools performed the same as OEM tools.During the research and development phase of the Rules Engine, asTech technicians identified inconsistencies between the OEM diagnostic tool and a leading aftermarket tool — referred to as “Brand X” — when scanning a 2017 Kia Rio.This case study demonstrates how the Rules Engine can help prevent a repairer from missing potential safety issues on a vehicle.<h4>What asTech’s technicians did</h4>asTech technicians post-scanned a repaired 2017 Kia Rio with the Hyundai/Kia OEM diagnostic tool, which identified three Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). One of these codes called for the replacement of an airbag safety module. Immediately after, technicians scanned the same vehicle with the Brand X aftermarket tool to compare the results.<h4>What the aftermarket tool did not find</h4>Brand X’s aftermarket tool failed to find two of the three DTCs, and most importantly, it cleared the airbag module as if no faults existed. It could not be trusted to validate that the vehicle had been repaired properly and returned to OEM specifications for this specific year, make, model, trim.A repairer who only used Brand X’s aftermarket tool would clear this Kia as safe, despite the presence of a potentially faulty airbag module in need of repair, which could result in an unsafe operating environment for the owner of the vehicle.<h4>How the asTech Rules Engine would help</h4>The Rules Engine recommends a choice in scans to repairers for each specific (down to the trim level) vehicle they’re working on:<ol><li>A remote OEM diagnostic scan using asTech’s patented technology.</li><li>An “OEM Compatible” aftermarket scan performed locally with the asTech tool. This is a scan that’s been verified to provide results that are equivalent to an OEM Tool scan.</li></ol>For the 2017 Kia Rio, the Rules Engine would recognize that Brand X’s aftermarket tool would not correctly identify all DTCs. For that reason, the Rules Engine wouldn’t recommend it as a safe, OEM Compatible scan for this year, make, model, trim.Instead, the Rules Engine would offer a different, verified OEM Compatible aftermarket scan, or a remote OEM diagnostic scan. Either way, the DTC for the airbag module would be identified.Going forward, Repairify will continue to augment, edit, and update the Rules Engine based on ongoing research being conducted by its engineers across the country. This database will represent the most comprehensive dataset for comparison analysis on a global scale. Individual vehicle testing results will be made available for review to customers based on need.<h4>About the Rules Engine</h4>With tens of thousands of vehicle scans and extensive research, asTech, driven by Repairify, is continually developing its patented and proprietary database of OEM and high-performing OEM Compatible aftermarket scan tools to recommend the most accurate and cost-effective scan tool option, every time. When an OEM Compatible tool isn’t available, the Rules Engine recommends the same remote OEM diagnostic services that customers have come to know and trust.asTech customers who wish to enable the new Rules Engine feature can do so by contacting our Customer Service Team at 1.888.486.1166 or <a href="mailto:customerservice@astech.com">customerservice@astech.com</a>.

Repairify Announces New asTech All-In-One

PLANO, TX – Oct 3, 2023&nbsp;–&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.astech.com/">asTech</a>, a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.repairify.com/">Repairify</a>&nbsp;company and the global leader in remote diagnostics, calibrations, programming, and automotive intelligence for the collision and mechanical repair industries, has released its third Rules Engine case study from the asTech insights Institute.&nbsp;&nbsp;This case study demonstrates the data-driven verification process of the patented and proprietary asTech Rules Engine. It shows why it’s the only verified way to properly determine if an aftermarket scan can be trusted on a specific vehicle.&nbsp;What Repairify’s Technicians DidTo develop its patented Rules Engine, Repairify performed tens of thousands of vehicle scans against the active car parc and engaged in extensive research to identify which of the top aftermarket scan tools yield the same results as the authentic OEM tools.&nbsp;&nbsp;During their research, Repairify technicians post-scanned a repaired 2016 Honda Civic using the authentic OEM scan tool and discovered two diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). They then immediately post-scanned the same vehicle with a leading aftermarket tool, designated in this case study as “Brand B.”&nbsp;&nbsp;What the Aftermarket Tool FoundConventional wisdom is that any aftermarket tool should be able to thoroughly scan a common seven-year-old vehicle, such as this Honda Civic, without issue. However, the aftermarket diagnostic scan performed using Brand B’s tool only returned one of the two DTCs established by the authentic OEM tool.&nbsp;As with asTech’s&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://astech.com/rules-engine-case-study-2-2021-jeep-gladiator/">previous case study regarding a 2021 Jeep Gladiator</a>, this shows that conventional wisdom regarding aftermarket scan tools can be unreliable. It can lead to using inaccurate scans and returning a vehicle that is not properly repaired to OEM standards.&nbsp;&nbsp;What This Means for Shops and How the Rules Engine HelpsThe Rules Engine recommends a choice of asTech certified scan tools to repairers for each specific (down to the trim level) vehicle they’re working on:&nbsp;<ol><li>An authentic remote OEM diagnostic scan through asTech’s patented technology.&nbsp;</li><li>A certified OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan. This is a scan that has been verified and warrantied to provide results that are equivalent to the authentic OEM tool scan.&nbsp;</li></ol>&nbsp;For this 2016 Honda Civic, a shop using the Rules Engine would only be able to use an aftermarket scan verified as OEM-Compatible. Brand B’s scan would not be an option as it would be deemed “unverified.”&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, shops that are part of the Honda collision repair network are required to exclusively use authentic OEM tool scans for Honda vehicles. For situations like this, the asTech Rules Engine is customizable. It allows shops to set special rules such as only allowing an authentic remote OEM tool scan to be used when any Honda vehicle is connected to an asTech device.&nbsp;The Rules Engine’s data-driven verification process and flexibility gives shops the confidence to know they are selecting the best scan for the vehicle they’re repairing.&nbsp;About the Rules EngineWith tens of thousands of vehicle scans and extensive research, asTech, driven by Repairify, is continuously developing its patented and proprietary database of authentic OEM and high-performing OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan tools to recommend the most accurate and cost-effective scan tool option, every time.

asTech Rules Engine Case Study #3: Using the 2016 Honda Civic to Demonstrate the Importance of Verifying the Accuracy of Aftermarket Scan Tools

PLANO, TX – Oct 3, 2023&nbsp;–&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.astech.com/">asTech</a>, a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.repairify.com/">Repairify</a>&nbsp;company and the global leader in remote diagnostics, calibrations, programming, and automotive intelligence for the collision, glass and mechanical repair industries, has released its fourth Rules Engine case study from the asTech Institute.&nbsp;This case study demonstrates that without the Rules Engine, a shop utilizing an aftermarket post-scan can miss crucial steps in the repair process.&nbsp;What Repairify Technicians DidTo develop its patented Rules Engine, Repairify performed tens of thousands of vehicle scans against the active car parc and engaged in extensive research to identify which of the top aftermarket scan tools yield the same results as authentic OEM tools.&nbsp;&nbsp;For one of their tests, Repairify technicians post-scanned a repaired 2021 Ford Escape with the authentic Ford OEM factory tool. The scan identified two historical fault codes in the Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM), which includes the seatbelt tension sensor.&nbsp;&nbsp;In this scenario, Ford states that a technician should clear the codes and inspect further to determine if they reappear during or after a test drive.&nbsp;Repairify technicians then immediately scanned the same Escape with a leading aftermarket tool — referred to as “Brand Z” — to compare the results.&nbsp;What the Aftermarket Tool FoundWhile the Brand Z aftermarket scan picked up on the two historical codes, it “passed” the vehicle without recommending further inspection. This result did not match the authentic Ford tool scan’s recommendation.&nbsp;What This Means for Shops&nbsp;A shop relying on Brand Z’s scan for the 2021 Ford Escape could run the risk of skipping further inspection of the seatbelt tension, possibly returning an incompletely repaired vehicle to the customer.&nbsp;The vehicle would potentially need to be returned for supplemental repairs, which could mean lower CSI scores and reimbursement difficulties for the shop.How the Rules Engine HelpsThe Rules Engine recommends a choice of asTech certified scan tools to repairers for each specific vehicle they’re working on, down to the trim level:&nbsp;<ol><li>An authentic remote OEM diagnostic scan through asTech’s patented technology.&nbsp;</li><li>A verified OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan. This is a scan that has been certified and warrantied to provide results that are equivalent to the authentic OEM tool scan.&nbsp;</li></ol>&nbsp;With the Rules Engine, a shop would not be able to select Brand Z’s aftermarket tool for the 2021 Ford Escape due to the discrepancy between Brand Z’s scan and the scan from the authentic OEM tool.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, The Rules Engine would provide a verified OEM-Compatible scan to a shop that still wanted to use an aftermarket scan for the 2021 Ford Escape.&nbsp;The Rules Engine ensures that when a shop selects an aftermarket scan, that scan will identify all the necessary information needed to complete the repair correctly.&nbsp;&nbsp;About the Rules EngineWith tens of thousands of vehicle scans and extensive research, asTech, driven by Repairify, is continuously developing its patented and proprietary database of authentic OEM and high-performing OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan tools to recommend the most accurate and cost-effective scan tool option, every time.

asTech Rules Engine Case Study #4: Unverified Aftermarket Tool Scan Leads to Missing Steps in Repair Process for the 2021 Ford Escape

PLANO, TX – Oct 24, 2023&nbsp;–&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.astech.com/">asTech</a>, a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.repairify.com/">Repairify</a>&nbsp;company and the global leader in remote diagnostics, calibrations, programming, and automotive intelligence for the collision, glass, and mechanical repair industries, has released its fifth Rules Engine case study from the asTech Institute.&nbsp;This case study demonstrates that, regardless of the age or popularity of a vehicle, there is no guarantee an unverified aftermarket tool will provide a fully comprehensive and accurate scan. To ensure a safe and proper repair, shops must utilize empirical data that verifies they’re choosing the correct tool scan for a particular vehicle.&nbsp;What Repairify Technicians DidTo develop its patented Rules Engine, Repairify performed tens of thousands of vehicle scans against the active car parc and engaged in extensive research to identify which of the top aftermarket scan tools yield the same results as authentic OEM tools.&nbsp;&nbsp;Repairify technicians post-scanned a repaired 2017 Toyota Camry using the authentic factory scan tool and discovered two trouble codes within the Antilock Braking System, including one code related to traction control.&nbsp;&nbsp;The vehicle was then immediately scanned using leading aftermarket tools to compare the results to the scan from the authentic OEM tool.&nbsp;What the Aftermarket Tool FoundThe common convention is that most aftermarket scanning solutions should be able to identify all modules on a five-year-old Toyota Camry – one of the most popular vehicles on the road. But when one aftermarket tool brand, “Brand A”, was used to scan the same vehicle, it identified just one of the two trouble codes on the 2017 Toyota Camry’s ABS system.&nbsp;What This Means for Shops&nbsp;Even for vehicles as popular as the 2017 Camry, it is still possible for aftermarket tools to miss codes on some of the most common modules (like the ABS system) in circulation.&nbsp;Like it was shown with the 2016 Honda Civic case study and asTech’s other prior case studies, the age and popularity of a vehicle doesn’t matter. Without data to verify a scan’s accuracy, there is no guarantee that an aftermarket scan will match the performance of an authentic OEM Tool.&nbsp;How the Rules Engine HelpsThe Rules Engine recommends a choice of asTech certified scan tools to repairers for each specific vehicle they’re working on, down to the trim level:&nbsp;<ol><li>An authentic remote OEM diagnostic scan through asTech’s patented technology.&nbsp;</li><li>A verified OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan. This is a scan that has been certified and warrantied to provide results that are equivalent to the authentic OEM tool scan.&nbsp;</li></ol>&nbsp;With the Rules Engine, shops would have the confidence in knowing that if they decided to use an aftermarket scan for a 2017 Camry, it would be verified as OEM-Compatible.&nbsp;&nbsp;To ensure a safe and proper repair, a shop needs to use the proper scan. To ensure they use the proper scan, shops need empirical data. The Rules Engine provides shops with the only data-backed system to verify that they’re using the best scan for the vehicle they’re repairing.&nbsp;About the Rules EngineWith tens of thousands of vehicle scans and extensive research, asTech, driven by Repairify, is continuously developing its patented and proprietary database of authentic OEM and high-performing OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan tools to recommend the most accurate and cost-effective scan tool option, every time.

<h2>Rules Engine Case Study #2</h2><h2>2021 Jeep Gladiator</h2>&nbsp;In our second case study we show how our patented and proprietary Rules Engine determines and validates a certified OEM-Compatible scan to give shops the power to choose the most cost-effective, accurate, and comprehensive scan tool for vehicle repairs.&nbsp;What Repairify Technicians DidTo develop its patented Rules Engine, Repairify performed tens of thousands of vehicle scans against the active car parc and engaged in extensive research to identify which of the top aftermarket scan tools yield the same results as authentic OEM tools.In one instance, Repairify technicians post-scanned a repaired 2021 Jeep Gladiator using the official Stellantis [FCA] factory tool. They then scanned this vehicle with the leading aftermarket tools to gauge their scan’s accuracy in relation to the results of the authentic OEM tool.The technicians found that a leading aftermarket tool — referred to as “Brand Y” — was able to return comparable results to the authentic OEM tool for the 2021 Jeep Gladiator.&nbsp;What the Aftermarket Tool FoundBrand Y’s aftermarket tool scan reported the same results as the authentic OEM tool.The conventional wisdom is that newer vehicles (less than two years old) should only be scanned using the authentic OEM tool. Repairify found that Brand Y’s tool could be trusted to deliver a comprehensive scan for the 2021 Jeep Gladiator.&nbsp;What This Means for ShopsThe Rules Engine recommends a choice of asTech certified scan tools to repairers for each specific vehicle they’re working on, down to the trim level:<ol><li>An authentic remote OEM diagnostic scan through asTech’s patented technology.</li><li>A certified OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan. This is a scan that has been certified and warrantied to provide results that are equivalent to the authentic OEM tool scan.</li></ol>For vehicles like the 2021 Jeep Gladiator, a shop without the Rules Engine would either feel forced to use an OEM tool (which could mean sending to a dealer or a sublet) or rely on an unverified aftermarket tool.With the Rules Engine, a shop can make the informed choice to select a verified and warrantied OEM-Compatible scan tool, knowing the results will be equivalent to the authentic OEM tool.&nbsp;About the Rules EngineWith tens of thousands of vehicle scans and extensive research, asTech, driven by Repairify, is continuously developing its patented and proprietary database of authentic OEM and high-performing OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan tools to recommend the most accurate and cost-effective scan tool option, every time. When an OEM-Compatible scan isn’t available, the Rules Engine recommends the same remote OEM diagnostic services that customers have come to know and trust.To learn more about the Rules Engine, visit the asTech, Driven by Repairify, at SEMA 2023, Booth #34193.

PLANO, Texas&nbsp;–&nbsp;November 30, 2023&nbsp;–&nbsp; <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.repairify.com/">Repairify™</a>, Inc., a portfolio company of Kinderhook Industries, LLC, and Autel U.S., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Autel Intelligent Technology Corp., Ltd., today focused on key partnership advances made this year and announced bold initiatives for 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;Repairify and Autel have enhanced the efficiency of the collision and glass repair shop workflow and documentation process by seamlessly integrating Repairify’s remote services and authentic OEM tool scans into the Autel Remote Expert platform. This integration, now available on Autel MaxiSYS Ultra series tablets and MaxiFlash XLink standalone communication devices, increases efficiency by reducing the number of in-shop tools needed to support vehicle diagnostics, calibrations, and programming events.&nbsp;This past summer, Repairify and Autel launched adasThink for Autel users, which provided collision and glass shops with pre-repair insights into required vehicle calibrations (based on scan findings) to help shops complete accurate estimates before the repair starts. This reduced the likelihood of supplemental charges, increased customer satisfaction, and improved insurance reimbursement times.&nbsp;&nbsp;In Q1 2024, Autel and Repairify will continue to enhance the value of their combined services for their users through the following planned releases:&nbsp;- asTech insights, which will provide shops with vehicle specific AI-driven repair recommendations based on the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) identified during the pre-repair scan.- Repairify remote service expansion, which will make dynamic and static calibrations available through the Remote Expert Platform.- New next-generation Repairify calibration rigs, manufactured by Autel, for in-shop and mobile-express providers.&nbsp;"This is truly one of the most exciting initiatives in the history of our company," said Cris Hollingsworth, President Repairify Global Holdings, Inc. "Our customers have consistently asked us to deliver a seamless and integrated ecosystem of product solutions for their vehicle diagnostic, calibration, and programming needs. The combination of Autel's world class product solutions with Repairify's global leading technology, data, service and intelligence offerings provides shops the opportunity to service all aspects of vehicle repair through one product interface that drives maximum efficiency, increases customer satisfaction and ensures that vehicles are repaired safely, accurately and through a certified process based on OEM procedures."&nbsp;&nbsp;"Autel is committed to providing its users with software and equipment that meet or exceed their expectations and comprehensive solutions that enable their businesses to thrive in this evolving and sophisticated vehicle repair marketplace. When we developed the MaxiSYS ADAS IA900WA, it was with a single goal in mind—to redefine the industry's approach to the service and repair of the modern vehicle and, with one system, develop a comprehensive workflow to enable technicians to take the vehicle from diagnostics and repair to alignment, programming, and calibration. This approach has helped our users provide their customers with superior repair and servicing of all vehicle systems, including vital safety systems. Also, it enables shop owners to see efficient key-to-key operations and financial success. Repairify offers our customers, specifically those in collision and glass repair, even greater efficiency with its information services such as adasThink and asTech Insights, access to its network of Remote OE services, software and tools, and insurance-ready and OE-certified Pre- and Post-Scan reports. We are proud of our partnership with Repairify and all the opportunities it has provided to our customers, and we look forward to working together to drive innovation in the aftermarket," said Autel CEO Chloe Hung.&nbsp;&nbsp;###&nbsp;About Repairify Inc.Repairify, Inc. and its family of brands empower the automotive repair industry to master today’s modern, data-intensive vehicles.

Repairify Expands Sales Leadership Team

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.fleetmaintenance.com/print/content/55330261">Full Article</a>With the new solutions, shops can flag down if a technician forgets to calibrate a vehicle’s ADAS, asTech updated its scan and calibration platform, and shops have another option to access diagnostic suggestions and manage admin work.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.astech.com/">asTech</a>, a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.repairify.com/">Repairify</a> company, had a busy schedule of product launches at SEMA 2025. There, the company showcased its Connected Calibrations tool, which helps avoid missing ADAS calibrations; the latest update to its scan and calibration platform; and BlueDriver MAX, which provides deeper diagnostic insights.<h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Connected Calibrations</h2>&nbsp;Connected Calibrations adds to the company’s adasThink solution. After going into beta testing in October to get feedback from shops, asTech has launched to product as an integration to the repair order submission process.“We can hook up our device to the car, connect into our remote technicians, and they are able to pull up the submission form,” said Nikki VanderSchaaff, VP of Product Engineering, asTech. Then, thanks to Connected Calibrations, the “adasThink results are right in there, telling that car-side tech what calibrations are going to be required from the moment they submit it in.”Additionally, the solution will automatically flag down when a job requires calibration in a real-time dashboard, allowing estimators at collision repair shops to track the job and make sure nothing is missed. These notifications also activate when a calibration isn’t ordered at all.<h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>asTech Gen 3</h2>&nbsp;Gen 3 is the latest version of asTech’s all-in-one scan and calibration platform, according to the company. Not only is it built to be compact and efficient, but it also includes new features like built-in Wi-Fi for updates and diagnostics and a touchscreen.According to VanderSchaaff, asTech updated the platform partially due to new OEM protocols, but they also used the opportunity to streamline the device overall. Now, the device can fit in a cup holder in a vehicle, and technicians can remove the antennas when they need.Currently, Gen 3 is open for presale.<h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>BlueDriver MAX</h2>&nbsp;Finally, asTech’s BlueDriver MAX is designed to provide more diagnostics insights and hardware capabilities, making it accessible for workers beyond the shop.“BlueDriver scans the vehicle and provides the DTCs and the current state of the vehicle,” noted Cole Reiken, managing director of BlueDriver. “And our magic sauce really comes into being able to translate the library of DTCs into common English and then into providing suggested repairs of what those vehicles are.”According to Reiken, this allows BlueDriver MAX to provide technicians and dealerships with the total cost of repairs and reconditioning if the device finds any problems.“So if a DTC is found, we provide back the most common fix, and then what the reconditioning cost is, [as well as] parts and labor to actually make that repair,” he added.Taken together, these diagnostic insights and admin controls for field work is meant to streamline operations in the shop.“BlueDriver MAX was designed to meet the unique diagnostic needs of enterprise-level customers,” said Keith Crerar, Chief Transformation Officer. “BlueDriver MAX provides the hardware and software features that commercial businesses need to efficiently complete high levels of scans and calibrations on a regular basis.”

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.bodyshopbusiness.com/repairify-unveils-integration-of-bluedriver-max-with-mobile-tech-rx/">Full Article</a>&nbsp;Repairify has announced the integration of BlueDriver MAX, the professional OBD2 scan tool, with Mobile Tech RX, the industry-leading automotive and collision reconditioning application that enables technicians to estimate, invoice, manage teams and workflow, process repair orders and capture data on-the-go through their mobile devices. This integration will streamline workflows for repair technicians in the field enabling them to perform pre- and post-repair vehicle scans to ensure the safety of the vehicle and deliver 360-degree repair completion, while unlocking new revenue streams.BlueDriver MAX can be added to users Mobile Tech RX subscriptions for $50 per month via the app. Once subscribed, technicians will be able to document repairs with customizable scan reports to prevent customer and insurance company disputes and confirm the quality of their repairs.By performing pre- and post-repair scans, technicians can confirm whether any new diagnostic trouble codes were triggered during the repair process such as those that can occur when removing and reinstalling bumpers, mirrors or headliners to access dents. Using BlueDriver MAX within the Mobile Tech RX app makes it easier for mobile technicians and shops to comply with general diagnostic scan requirements and ensure the vehicle leaves in the same condition it arrived.“As vehicles are enhanced with more sensors and safety features, the likelihood that repair work may trigger diagnostic codes during the repair process increases,” said Eric Garves, founder of Mobile Tech RX. “When technicians remove and reinstall parts like bumpers, mirrors or headliners to access a dent, those actions alone can set off system alerts. Repair technicians need a quick and easy way to confirm that no new issues were introduced during the repair. By integrating BlueDriver MAX with Mobile Tech RX, we are creating a comprehensive repair solution for independent technicians and shops that is easy to integrate into their current workflows.”The BlueDriver MAX OBD2 scan tool is small, portable and Bluetooth-enabled, using licensed diagnostic data directly from OEMs for comprehensive 90% or more OEM coverage across vehicles. Mobile Tech RX users can pause or cancel the BlueDriver MAX add-on at any time, making it the ideal solution for both year-round and seasonal technicians.
