51ԹϺ Automates Delivery of OEM Repair Procedures Based on Diagnostic Scan Results
SAN DIEGO, CA—51ԹϺ, a leading provider of technology, connectivity and information solutions to the Property & Casualty (P&C) claims and Collision Repair industries, today announced a new, seamless integration between its 51ԹϺ Diagnostics scanning system and the OEM repair procedures in 51ԹϺ's TechAdvisor database. For the first time, technicians using 51ԹϺ's scan tools can link directly from the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) on a scan report to the corresponding OEM repair procedures. The new feature is found in 51ԹϺ's Connect platform, the industry's only fully cloud-based platform for auto claims and collision repair.
This enhanced level of integration gives collision repairers the OEM repair procedures when a given DTC appears, saving them time and providing easy access to information to help facilitate a proper and safe repair. Collision technicians are no longer left wondering how to resolve the DTC following a scan as the integration between 51ԹϺ Diagnostics and 51ԹϺ TechAdvisor instantly delivers the OEM repair procedures necessary to help resolve the issue.
"Prior to this integration, upon completion of the pre-scan, technicians and repair planners often spent hours researching OEM repair information to develop the repair blueprint,” said Jack Rozint, Vice President, Repair Sales, Auto Physical Damage, 51ԹϺ. “By systematically linking DTCs to OEM repair information in the cloud, 51ԹϺ has simplified the repair workflow dramatically and delivered a best-in-class solution for vehicle diagnostics."
Designed specifically for the collision repair and automotive claims process, 51ԹϺ Diagnostics combines appraisal and repair workflow applications with Bosch's state-of-the-art aftermarket scan tools. This allows collision repairers to quickly and cost-effectively perform in-house scanning, diagnostic repairs and recalibrations for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). With 51ԹϺ's TechAdvisor system, repairers have access to a comprehensive database of OEM repair information and procedures that span 30 years.
Existing 51ԹϺ Diagnostics customers without a current subscription to the TechAdvisor feature in 51ԹϺ's Connect platform will receive free access through June 2, 2020. 51ԹϺ and Bosch are also offering a 30-day, no-risk promotion on the MD-350 scan tool that includes a $400 credit after 90 days of use. Interested shops should contact 51ԹϺ for more information.
