asTech - Driven by Repairify

When it comes to vehicle safety, the tools you use matter. After scanning a 2017 Kia Rio, REPAIRIFY, INC. technicians discovered a critical coverage gap between a leading aftermarket and OEM scan tool when the aftermarket tool failed to find two out of the three DTCs. Aftermarket tools may not provide accurate and complete results for each make and model, posing a safety risk if the inconsistencies are not properly addressed. To combat this, asTech’s patented and proprietary Rules Engine recommends the most accurate and cost-effective scan for each vehicle, down to the trim level. Whether it’s a remote OEM diagnostic scan or a verified OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan, the Rules Engine ensures you’re equipped with the right tool for the job.

Aftermarket tools can miss OEM data because the tools are not set to OEM standards, leaving gaps that could compromise the repair. As vehicles become increasingly complex, even one missed fault can have a ripple effect, impacting the entire job. The asTech Rules Engine leverages an extensive data set to ensure repairs meet OEM standards, so shops can return vehicles in their “ready-to-crash” state. Our goal is to give shops' customers peace of mind, knowing their vehicles are repaired to a high standard of safety and reliability.

It’s no secret that electric vehicles are one of the most industry-changing trends we’ve seen. With this shift, collision repair shops must adapt to the challenges EVs bring. Advanced tools, proper training, and real-time access to OEM repair data are key factors for safely handling EVs to ensure a complete and proper repair. asTech President Craig Edmonds sat down with Autobody News to help prepare operators for the challenges of EV collision repair. He discusses how collision repair shops can address the unique challenges, the differences between traditional and EV repairs, and more. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eNTx8Jkh

“It’s really a no-brainer for the estimators as long as they follow the Rules Engine that you guys have built. We are indemnified, and that limits our liability.” That’s what Jim Guthrie at OpenRoad Collision had to say about using the asTech Rules Engine in their shops. With the Rules Engine, shops can ensure their teams are always following their service standards and never compromise on quality or efficiency. We work closely with our shops to understand their unique needs and configure the Rules Engine to automatically and consistently enforce their business requirements for scanning and diagnostics. The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show is coming soon, and we'll be there to demonstrate the Rules Engine and our entire collision repair suite. Stay tuned for more to come!

Master tech-level collision repair recommendations specific to the vehicle and identified DTC codes generated instantly and automatically. That's asTech insights. We’re back with another asTech insight of the Week, where we share real repair recommendations our customers have received from asTech insights, the industry’s first and only AI tool for collision repair. This Week’s Vehicle: 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 From the pre-scan, the detected fault code informed the technician that the radiator may be damaged and coolant levels are below regulating temperature. Additionally, asTech insights identified two other fault codes, recommending the technician to inspect the evaporative emission system components. The identified fault codes help the technician build a complete plan quickly and efficiently to kickstart the proper repairs. #RepairPlanning

“We chose asTech because of ease of use, and it’s the right scan on the right vehicle at the right time, especially with your new Rules Engine. It has really made life easy for our estimators. You guys give us the right information, and we know it’s going to be insured from a liability perspective.” That’s what Jim Guthrie at OpenRoad Collision had to say about using the asTech Rules Engine in their shops. With the Rules Engine, OpenRoad Collision can streamline the repair process for both the technician and the estimator, knowing exactly when an OEM scan is necessary or when the asTech All-In-One tool can deliver a guaranteed accurate and verified OEM-Compatible scan locally. This gives OpenRoad Collision the confidence to select the best scan for each repair while still being able to use OEM scans when needed or required by an OEM Certification. This is how the Rules Engine empowers shops and ensures their organizational standards are being met so that every vehicle is repaired safely, properly, and efficiently. We’ve been talking a lot about the Rules Engine lately, and with SEMA coming up, you’ll be able to experience it in person. Stay tuned for more to come!
