New AI-powered diagnostic tool launched from Kinetic

Jan. 7, 2025
Kinetic offers complimentary access for up to 3,000 VINs annually per user.

Kinetic, an automotive infrastructure company that delivers digital repair and servicing for modern vehicles, announced the launch of Kinetic ID, an AI-powered tool for repair shops that instantly identifies when a vehicle's advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) must be calibrated following a collision. Kinetic ID is free for up to 3,000 VINs per year for collision repair shops, dealerships, and calibration service providers. Nearly all modern vehicles are manufactured with two or more advanced digital systems that require precision calibration. 

Designed to be user-friendly, Kinetic ID features simple drag-and-drop functionality, clear file organization, and easy access to report histories. Shops can also effortlessly integrate the solution via the CCC Secure Share platform today and Mitchell and Audatex integrations are planned for the coming months. Kinetic ID incorporates links to OEM position statements, scan requirements, safety standards, and more for quick reference.

What people are saying

In a recent release, Kinetic CEO and co-founder Nikhil Naikal said, “Our Kinetic ID software simplifies the user experience for collision repair professionals by delivering real-time ADAS insights that are based on comprehensive data gathered from the most trusted industry resources as well as through the exceptional services offered by our skilled technicians at Kinetic Hubs.”

“Kinetic ID helps us identify required calibrations to ensure vehicles are returned to customers with safety systems restored to OEM specifications,” said Chris Hudson, Director of Collision at Young Automotive Group. “The software enables our team to quickly identify and include necessary documentation in the initial estimate, streamlining communication with our partners and customers. Additionally, Kinetic ID integrates seamlessly with our production management system, automatically flagging vehicles that require calibrations.”
