Repairify Inc operating as asTech, a portfolio company of Kinderhook Industries LLC, has acquired adasThink – a vehicle-specific ADAS identification technology.
adasThink retrieves information related to the vehicle-specific advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and identifies required ADAS procedures and calibration based on labour operations in an automotive repair estimate.
The adasThink technology leverages the vehicle identification number to identify the vehicle’s build information. Within the information, the technology identifies the ADAS on the vehicle that has been impacted by the vehicle’s damage. Additionally, the technology identifies OEM calibration requirements and instructions.
“adasThink is a strategic acquisition that allows asTech to augment its service offering with identification of advanced vehicle systems that do not display a diagnostic trouble code. While these systems do not display diagnostic trouble codes, calibrations are necessary to ensure that vehicles are functioning as designed by the manufacturer,” said Paul Cifelli, managing director of Kinderhook Industries.
“Repairify is thrilled to welcome Nick Dominato from adasThink, who will be joining the Repairify team. asTech has always remained committed to providing customers with accurate diagnostic services. The addition of adasThink to asTech’s capabilities offers our customers meaningful information about the condition of a vehicle’s safety systems to ensure the vehicle is repaired to OEM specifications,” said Cris Hollingsworth, president of Repairify.
adasThink represents the 10th add-on acquisition for asTech and Kinderhook’s 101st automotive-related transaction.
