Ahead of National Apprenticeship Week (10-16 February), Repairify is announcing the launch of the industry’s first bespoke Digital Technician Apprenticeship Programme in conjunction with training provider QA.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are a suite of electronic technologies designed to assist drivers in performing driving and parking functions. These systems rely on a variety of sensors, cameras, radars, and LIDAR to detect and interpret the environment around the vehicle. By providing real-time information and performing automatic operations, ADAS enhances driving safety and comfort. Key features include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, collision warning systems, and parking assistance, for example. As regulations and consumer demand for safety and convenience grow, ADAS is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in modern vehicles. And – perhaps even more importantly for garages – when major work is undertaken on a vehicle as well as an increasing amount of not-so-major work – ADAS requires recalibration. In other words, the tyre and fast-fit garages of today have to know how they are going to handle ADAS-related challenges and questions.
Following recent audits of its Luton and Peterlee businesses, Repairify has successfully retained the ISO 14001 accreditation. ISO 14001 sets out the standard for an environmental management system. Repairify met the required certification by ensuring its UK sites are compliant with specific environmental criteria and demonstrated strict monitoring processes and awareness of environmental policies. These include effective carbon emission management, waste management, environmental compliance and energy usage, and fire regulations.
On 21 August 2024, the European Patent Office (EPO) granted European patent EP 2 656 200 B1 to Repairify Inc. relating to a Remote Vehicle Programming System and Method. This latest award aligns with Repairify’s global patents which it holds in the US and Australia as well as other markets, strengthening its position in Europe.
Experienced automotive trade and business development manager Marcus Phillips is joining Repairify as UK technical sales executive (South) to expand its IMI-qualified team.
Diagnostic and calibration firm Repairify will exhibit at Automechanika (10-14 September 2024; Hall 9.0, Stand D36 at Messe Frankfurt). The company said it would demonstrate its advanced vehicle diagnostic and calibration technology, spearheaded by its asTech Digital ADAS Calibration Unit. It will also demonstrate its remote services, in which it claims global leadership.
Repairify has opened a new office in Italy to support the growth of its European customer base, according to the company. Repairify representatives also suggest that the move will “make it easier and more financially efficient to access its advanced vehicle diagnostic and calibration technology”.
Repairify has appointed experienced aftermarket specialist Santiago Malbran as business development director. Malbran is tasked with driving forward the company’s expansion across Europe. Repairify’s statement says he will support its objective of maximising advanced vehicle diagnostic and calibration technology growth opportunities. He will be responsible for developing new market opportunities and identifying new revenue streams across Europe, where Repairify will introduce its technology.
Technology within vehicles and tools is constantly evolving, so with this in mind Tyres & Accessories recently connected with Phil Peace, managing director of Repairify, to find what trends readers should be aware of.
From 1 December, Repairify is providing new customers with the opportunity to access three months’ worth of free Remote Services with any compatible diagnostic device up to a maximum of 12 jobs in the period.
Garage and diagnostics equipment supplier Repairify has addressed the current chasm between the approximately 3,500 ADAS-qualified technicians in the UK and the 21,500 required to meet market demand for these services. The company says it can help businesses meet the dramatic increase in demand, set to continue as growth in ADAS-equipped vehicles rises, via the support of its own team of IMI-qualified technicians and the development of technology to support maintenance work on these cars. Phil Peace, managing director (SVP) international at Repairify Inc, told Tyres & Accessories that AI and machine learning has enabled the company to enhance its data to support its solutions that puts critical repair information into garage workflow.
Repairify will join Dinitrol at Equip Auto (28-30 September 2023, Lyon, stand 6 M 174) to showcase its latest vehicle diagnostics and calibration technologies. These tools enable repairers to maximise the opportunities presented by ADAS repairs by retaining the business inhouse and reducing key-to-key times to minimise customers’ vehicle downtime.
Repairify Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and Capricorn Society Limited have entered into a joint venture agreement to deliver “leading-edge remote automotive repair solutions to repairers across Australia and New Zealand”. Repairify and Capricorn have equal ownership of the joint venture, which will be branded as Repairify and distributed across Australia and New Zealand by Capricorn through the Capricorn Preferred Supplier Network.
Repairify has introduced a fully integrated end-to-end software support programme for workshops and garages. The programme enables its IMI-trained technicians to access asTech tools remotely, assisting them with software if they are encountering challenges while using the tools car-side. The new programme is available across its hardware product portfolio, helping technicians to overcome technical issues and complete jobs quicker.
Repairify has been awarded ISO 14001 for its Luton and Peterlee offices. It is the first company within the Repairify Inc group to achieve the accreditation for its environmental management system. Repairify met the required certification by ensuring its UK sites are compliant with specific environmental criteria and demonstrated strict monitoring processes and awareness of environmental policies. These include effective waste management, battery containment, spillage kits, energy usage, and fire regulations.
