Thinkcar UK incentivises ADAS opportunity

 

With new research showing the shortage of ADAS-qualified techs continuing to grow, Thinkcar UK is incentivising garages to make ADAS a priority through a new special offer where buyers of its ADAS Mobile foldable calibration frame kit receive a free Thinktool Euro Expert 195 diagnostic tool with every purchase.

 

ADAS systems have been a legal requirement on new cars since 2022. Recent figures from the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) suggest that while around 13% of vehicles now possess some degree of level 2 autonomy, which would mean they will require ADAS calibration, just 2% of UK techs are ADAS qualified, and the gap continues to grow.

 

More figures from the IMI show that there are 21,000 vacant jobs in the sector that require candidates to offer key skills, including ADAS capabilities. “This means work will flow towards businesses with both the skills and equipment to pick up the slack,” said Alex Gillbanks, Managing Director of Impact Diagnostics, the specialist supplier behind Thinkcar UK.

 

Flexibility is vital for many independents. “ADAS calibration equipment can take up a lot of space,” said Alex, “but it does not have to. Thinkcar UK’s ADAS Mobile is a foldable calibration frame that prioritizes portability and convenience. Qualified technicians can set up the Thinkcar ADAS Mobile within half an hour and conduct calibration tasks from virtually any location.”

 

Thinkcar UK’s ADAS Mobile also comes with all the relevant accessories and includes targets for a wide range of manufacturers. This is only the beginning of the process though: “The Thinkcar UK ADAS Mobile is compatible with Thinkcar’s diagnostic scanner series as well,” said Alex.

 

With this in mind, Thinkcar UK is offering the Thinktool Euro Expert 195 diagnostic tool for free with every Thinkcar UK ADAS Mobile. “This mid-range tool, already one of our best-sellers for 2024, is a 9-inch professional diagnostic pad that sells for £1,350 plus VAT. When you put it together with the Thinkcar UK ADAS Mobile, the pairing is a powerful combination that will enable you to make the most of the ADAS opportunity.”

 

The Thinkcar UK ADAS Mobile costs £9,995 plus VAT. To receive a free Thinktool 195 diagnostic tool with the ADAS Mobile, please make your purchase between 1st September and 31st December 2024.
