Investing in Advanced Technology

Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with cameras, sensors, and radar systems that assist with lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, and emergency braking. Even a small misalignment can affect how these systems perform. That’s why precise calibration is critical—and why we’ve invested in Autel’s state-of-the-art alignment and ADAS technology.

A new Autel Aligner & ADAS system, such as the IA1000, is an advanced, automated solution for wheel alignment and the calibration of modern driver-assist systems. It integrates precise robotic movements, laser guidance, high-definition cameras, and digital targets to reduce manual setup and dramatically improve accuracy for complex ADAS calibrations like ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), LDW (Lane Departure Warning), and AVM (Around View Monitoring).

The IA1000 goes far beyond basic alignment data—it offers comprehensive measurement and documentation, all controlled through an easy-to-use tablet interface. With automated features like unlevel floor compensation and pre- and post-calibration reports, the system ensures that every calibration and alignment is completed to exact manufacturer standards and verified for accuracy.

Why It’s Used

ADAS Systems: Calibrations are often required after collision repairs, suspension work, windshield replacements, or any modification affecting the vehicle’s height or camera positioning.
Wheel Alignments: The IA1000 performs advanced wheel alignments on vehicles that need them, often in conjunction with ADAS calibration.
Safety: ADAS features are critical for driver safety and accident prevention—requiring precise calibration to ensure these systems function as designed.
