Are you taking advantage of the opportunities that are here now? Do you have a plan for the substantial increase in the near future?

What used to be “Just an Alignment” has changed dramatically. It’s no longer just a maintenance or after part replacement need. It is the foundation that many safety systems depend on for proper operation and must be or should be done prior to certain calibrations or resets. Additionally, many manufacturers require very specific resets or calibrations after an alignment is performed, certain parts are replaced or even simply removed and re-installed.

The number of ADAS-equipped vehicles, both on the road and in your shop, is growing daily and moving beyond their factory warranties. This class aims to assist you in recognizing the opportunities associated with adhering to procedures that uphold the integrity of current safety systems. You may be able to do many of these procedures now without any additional equipment while others may require additional equipment or sublet. The first step is understanding the need and then the how. ADAS controls Steering, Braking and Throttle, and no codes, no lights does not mean no problems especially when it comes to ADAS. This class should answer many questions and likely create some, all in an effort to help you take care of your customers, your business and your bottom line.
