Thinkcar is highlighting the increasing importance of ADAS calibration in the workshop environment – and how its mobile ADAS platform delivers value for money for independent garages, workshops and technicians by combining a portable calibration frame with fully compatible professional diagnostic scan tools.
With ADAS systems now standard on most modern vehicles, workshops face a critical challenge: offering accurate and compliant calibration services without high capital outlay or dedicated space for static rigs. Thinkcar’s Mobile ADAS responds directly to this need, combining portability, performance and affordability to give workshops a practical solution that keeps more work in-house.
As driver assistance technology continues to evolve, so too does customer expectation. Calibration is required after operations such as windscreens replacement, suspension work, wheel alignment and collision repairs. However, many independent garages lack the space or budget for large, stationary calibration bays.
Thinkcar’s Mobile ADAS platform is designed for portability as it’s easy to set up and move between bays – ideal for workshops where space is at a premium. It’s cost-effective thanks to its lower upfront investment compared to traditional fixed rigs and its intuitive setup and guided calibration workflows help technicians complete jobs quickly and with confidence.
Unlike expensive static setups, mobile ADAS solutions can be used wherever they are needed within the workshop and adapted to different vehicle types. This flexibility means technicians can take on more calibration jobs, reduce reliance on third-party providers and increase profitability.
Other key features include a five-wire cross-laser system for precise positioning, mobile base with 360° wheels for use on uneven surfaces and quick setup options so experienced technicians can assemble the system in approximately 30 minutes.
The system supports calibration for adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, around view monitor and blind spot detection.
Alex Gillbanks, owner of Thinkcar UK, commented: “ADAS calibration is no longer optional – it’s a core service expected by customers. Our mobile ADAS solution is designed to give workshops real choice. You don’t have to invest tens of thousands in a static system to deliver compliant calibrations. Thinkcar helps technicians capture value on day one, without compromise.”
Unlike standalone calibration frames, Thinkcar’s system is designed to work seamlessly with its professional scan tool range – meaning workshops benefit from a fully integrated solution rather than purchasing separate systems.
The ADAS software operates with any of Thinkcar’s PRO diagnostic range and comes supplied with the EURO 195 scan tool as standard. Compact yet powerful, the EURO 195 delivers professional diagnostic capability in a portable format, giving technicians the essential functions needed to carry out ADAS calibration efficiently while maintaining excellent value for workshops.
By combining hardware and diagnostics in one ecosystem, Thinkcar provides what many consider the ultimate value proposition: ADAS calibration capability supported by a professional-grade scan tool.
In addition to the hardware, Thinkcar provides technical support and training resources to help technicians get the most out of their investment. From initial setup to troubleshooting specific calibration routines, Think Car’s support structure ensures workshops can operate efficiently and confidently.
