Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

There are approximately 4.5 million Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) enabled vehicles in the UK, according to Thatcham Research. Calibration is required whenever a sensor’s aim is disturbed in any way. This can occur because of collision or in a workshop due to a windshield replacement, suspension repair or wheel alignment. All repairers should follow the UK Insurance Industry Requirements (IIR) for the safe repair of ADAS equipped vehicles.

Diagnostic Tools and Services

Having the right diagnostic tools can ensure your garage is able to diagnose and resolve issues across the vast range of today’s vehicles and changing technology. This also reduces the amount of technician time spent on each vehicle, giving you increased work capacity.

Tyre and Wheel Equipment

Around 10% of all MOT failures are tyre related. This trend has been increasing year on year, with the number one tyre failure associated to worn treads, bulges, and cuts in the tyre wall. Any vehicle displaying a TPMS fault when submitted for its MOT will result in a test failure. Due to wear, tyres need to be replaced every two to three years based on the current average annual mileage figures. This figure doesn’t consider any tyre damage caused by poor road conditions such as potholes. TPMS sensors/valves also need to be checked annually and replaced if required.
