Future-Proof Your Shop: Embracing Modern Wheel Alignment & ADAS Calibration

Next-Level Innovation Versus Old School Limitations With the rise of ADAS-equipped vehicles and the further interconnectivity of modern vehicle repair, ADAS calibration is no longer just for glass and collision shops. As a result, wheel alignment is also emerging as a key revenue opportunity for general repair shops. For the cost of a typical single-purpose alignment machine, the Autel IA900 delivers advanced diagnostics, digital vehicle inspection, state-of-the-art wheel alignment, and step-by-step ADAS calibration instructions – all in a single investment, system, and workflow. Are 2 Pieces of the Same Puzzle Every ADAS calibration should start with an alignment inspection, and every calibration requires the vehicle to be properly aligned. Today, eleven of the twenty-eight major auto manufacturers in North America require ADAS calibration following a wheel alignment, including Ford, Volkswagen, Jeep, Kia, Dodge, and Subaru. Now is the time for the general repair industry to embrace the modern wheel alignment and ADAS calibration workflow. If you’re in the market for a replacement aligner, or if you’re exploring ADAS calibration, invest in the scalable, future-proof system that’s setting the new industry standard.

Maximize Your 16′ x 30′ Repair Bay It’s a misconception that ADAS calibration always requires large amounts of floor space. With Autel ADAS system, shigh-profit calibrations can be efficiently completed in standard alignment or mechanical bays, even with the vehicle on a lift. Front-facing camera and radar calibrations require as little as 10 feet in front of the lift, and blind spot warning systems can be calibrated by positioning radar equipment in a neighboring bay.

Payment options The Dangers of Using Non-Autel ADAS Components with Autel Software When Autel speaks of our ADAS calibration products, we reference them as systems. And that is because each component is engineered to work as part of the whole. Each component of the system is dependent upon the specificity of the other to produce accurate calibrations that are verifiable to OE specifications. Further, the Autel ADAS calibration software was developed for our systems only. The use of non-Autel components with our software will result in inaccurate calibrations. It’s vital to understand the precise nature by which these safety systems, cameras and sensors operate. Alignment and calibrations that are off by as little as one degree can result in up to 1.5-meter lateral miscalculations at 100-meter distance between vehicles. Such inaccuracies can lead to false ADAS interventions or accidents. Shops knowingly calibrating vehicles with mismatched calibration components are fully responsible for calibration errors and will assume liability. Autel technical support staff will not support or assist in any calibration that uses non-Autel branded ADAS calibration products.   Products Support Subscribe to our e-newsletter Get the latest Autel product news and updates delivered directly to your inbox. * indicates required First Name Last Name Email Address * Diagnostics ADAS TPMS Click outside to hide the comparison bar Compare
