In this QuickChat, Jay Sicht, editor-in-chief of FenderBender and ABRN, sits down with Josh McFarlin, president of AirPro Diagnostics, to discuss why ADAS calibrations in collision repair are becoming more complex — and why shops can no longer manage them alone. As vehicle electronics multiply and OEM requirements diverge, the expectation that one technician and one scan tool can support every make and model is no longer realistic.
McFarlin draws on more than 30 years of industry experience — from dealership technicians to OEM service engineering, I-CAR technical training, and now AirPro leadership — to explain how remote ADAS diagnostics and brand-specific expertise are reshaping the industry. He outlines the benefits of mobile ADAS calibration services, where OEM-trained specialists support collision shops remotely, ensuring accuracy while reducing bottlenecks and costly rework.
The conversation also explores how AirPro integrates collision shop diagnostic workflow and calibration outputs directly into existing estimating, repair tracking, and OEM certification systems. Using AirPro’s ORION platform, shops gain access to OEM-specific ADAS calibration support without needing to staff specialists for every brand.
