Fix Auto UK has formed a partnership with Florida-based AirPro Diagnostics in its bid to simplify and speed up Forward-Facing Camera (FFC) ADAS calibrations.
The network has teamed up with AirPro Diagnostics, a pioneer in remote vehicle diagnostics and calibration products, that will initially bring into the UK its unique AUGGIE mobile system that enables ADAS calibrations to be easily and swiftly completed outside of the workshop by any productive.
Ian Pugh, Fix Auto UK’s managing director, who has been instrumental in developing the partnership, hailed AUGGIE as a “game changer” that not only frees up valuable space within a workshop, but its simplicity and useability ensures it can be operated by anyone from a newly inducted apprentice through to a senior technician.
“We’re in an age where our repairers face the necessity to complete ADAS calibrations on almost every modern vehicle but it’s a procedure that can dramatically slow down the whole repair process," Pugh said. "Being part of a global organization, I reached out to my overseas colleagues to see what products were available that can speed up and simplify the process.
“AUGGIE is a phenomenal piece of kit. A real game changer," Pugh continued. "AirPro Diagnostics developed it to deliver with precise accuracy in any environment even with a vehicle parked on an uneven surface. It is so simple to use, after brief training anyone can use it which enables a vehicle to be taken out of a workshop, freeing up valuable space for the next repair.”
“AirPro is proud to launch into the UK, with the Fix Auto UK Group agreement," said Michael Quinn, president of AirPro Diagnostics. "We know Ian and the UK network to be the most operationally disciplined body shop group in the UK and we look forward to working closely with his franchise partners and delivering our unmatched capabilities in diagnostics and cost-effective ADAS calibration equipment and services to ensure a complete and safe repair for motorists.”
"We are extremely confident in our ability to safely service and calibrate the majority of vehicles serviced by Fix Auto UK, our North American track record of thousands of satisfied shop clients can readily attest to this fact,” added Maria Charlton, AirPro UK managing director.
ORION, AirPro’s cloud-based diagnostic management system is the hub by which all services are delivered within the company’s 10-Minute Response Pledge. AirPro Diagnostics is backed by a team of uniquely skilled, diagnostic brand specialists who provide reliable, efficient and accurate scanning, diagnostics and ADAS calibration solutions that meet the highest level of quality and safety standards.
