  ADAS SOLUTIONS AUSTRALIA
A NEW ADAS RECLAIBRATION COMPANY ADAS SOLUTIONS AUSTRALIA HAS BEEN LAUNCHED BY ADRIAN PARKES AND JOE WALSH.
THE NEW CENTRE AND SEVERAL MOBILE UNITS HAVE BEEN SET
up at Eagle Farm in Brisbane with the aim to take the service na- tionwide by the end of 2022. Parkes has over 30 years experience and has worked with many OEMs. His previous role was with Hella Australia. Walsh is a second generation repairer who was formerly group operations director at AMA.
Following extensive first phase investment ADAS Solutions is able to offer in excess of 90% vehicle coverage in both the light and heavy vehicle sector. Recalibration equipment in- cludes Hella, Texa and Autel equipment as well as Maha headlight adjustment equipment.
Walsh told Paint & Panel: "The biggest challenge is awareness. Many repairers simply don't understand the need to recalibrate. They think if there's no warning light triggered then they're good to go. Recalibration has so many pitfalls for repairers - you can have two identical cars side by side and they could have dif- ferent levels of ADAS on them. ADAS Solutions offers a service where we will download the owners manual and let the shop know if calibration is required."
ADAS Solutions performs a pre scan, alighment, cailbration, post scan and road test, then a final scan and a report."The deal- er just gives you an invoice, with our service there's a detailed report of exactly what operations were performed, what the out- come is, whether there were any pre-existing issues - it's all very accountable," Walsh said.
The company will also install and run calibration equip- ment for shops that require it. "It's a very repetitive process and the more you do it the more accuruate you are. It's really not practical for most shops to have their own equipment and pay to train staff. There's also the issue of space and the need for an even floor somewhere with optimum lighting condi- tions and the time that it takes to undertake the correct road test.” The investment in all this equipment is significant. "The need for recalibration will increase expodentially and getting it wrong is a potentially lethal scenario,” Walsh said.
