Remote diagnostics service solution provider, asTech is the latest industry innovator to become a partner of ARC360.
Headed up across Europe by Richard Taylor, asTech provides repairers with access to OEM scans and expert diagnostics via cloud‐based technology using actual OEM tools rather than simply OEM data.
A repair centre technician simply plugs the asTech device into a vehicle’s OBD port and once connected an OEM trained asTech technician remotely takes control to oversee all OEM standard scans, diagnostics and calibrations.
The ‘source of safety’ system provides users with a full report for each scan or calibration performed with all documentation provided on every job. This documentation provides proof that a vehicle’s electronic systems are functioning to OEM standards post‐repair.
Other benefits include real time OEM data is available meaning the system is constantly updated as asTech uses the same tools as the OEM’s therefore overall improved cycle times with diagnostics and recalibration are able to take place inhouse; and right first‐time repair processes.
Richard Taylor, European business development director, said, “asTech provides repairers, work partners and vehicle owners with the peace of mind that their vehicle has been repaired using the most up‐to‐date technology managed by highly trained, OEM technicians and only using the OEM tools.
“We see partnering with ARC360 as major step in raising awareness of asTech’s capabilities across the industry and continuing to drive safe, verifiable repairs.”
Mark Hadaway, co‐founder of ARC360, said, “It’s great to have a company as innovative as asTech onboard as an ARC360 partner. It’s well documented that vehicle technology is moving at a rapid pace and with that comes new ways of working – asTech is prime example of thinking differently.”
asTech currently operates calibration centres on four countries with plans for major expansion.
