San Diego, California — Sun Collision Repair Information has expanded its coverage and enhanced its features to make it easier to access Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) repair information.
Sun Collision Repair Information provides complete, accurate data that collision repair facilities can trust to repair any vehicle, in any condition—inside and outside—with maximum efficiency.
“One of the most popular features in the software is the Driver Assist (ADAS) Quick Link button,” says Nicholas Blais, product manager for SUN Collision Repair Information. “This gives technicians immediate access to a table that consolidates all of the ADAS information for the vehicle in a single location. It gives the full picture of the ADAS features and components and techs can simply click to select the repair and calibration information they want.”
Since launching SUN Collision at SEMA 2019, a brand of Snap-on Incorporated, the software has seen significant growth in content and coverage, including the addition of 2020 model years.
In the past year, several enhancements have been introduced, including Interactive Wiring Diagrams and Life Points Quick Link.
The Interactive Wiring Diagrams consist of component names in the wiring diagrams are active links that connect directly to complete component information. While viewing a wiring diagram, technicians can click on any component within the diagram to see a pop-up menu with selections to learn more about specifications, component location, connector views, guided component tests, and more. There is no need to exit the wiring diagram to find related information they need to diagnose the issue.
The Lift Points Quick Link, which is where the ribbon appears on the front page of the 1Search Plus module and provides instant access to the most frequently searched information in the software. Technicians can link directly to information about lifting points, which can be critical to technician safety and care of the vehicle.
As vehicle technology advances, the line between collision and mechanical repair work is blurring. When a collision occurs, any damage to that body and frame is likely to have also damaged the sensors, camera, and other mechanical components that must be repaired, and or recalibrated to return the vehicle to safe operating conditions.
“With SUN Collision, auto body shops can take advantage of complete repair information available in a single resource to help them be prepared to perform mechanical work in-house rather than outsourcing those repairs,” added Blais.
Additional features in SUN Collision include: Materials, body and frame, paint and finish; repair information searchable by part number; user-friendly graphical layout and is mobile friendly. The software offers collision repair facilities a comprehensive source of repair information, collision, and mechanical, that covers all types of repairs and includes OEM coverage and SureTrack Real Fixes, based on actual mechanical repair solutions and expert technicians have used to solve the same problem.
