1SourceADAS at ABAT: A Calibration Conversation Over a Pint

A Panel Built on Real-World Experience

To help shops fully understand what’s involved, facilitator Tommy Ames (1SourceADAS & Automotive Electronic Solutions) has assembled a diverse panel designed to tackle the topic from every angle:

• Shop owners who brought calibrations in-house share what it took to succeed, the hurdles they faced, and what it means for their business today.
• Shop owners who sublet the work – explaining why outsourcing makes sense for their operations and how it affects workflow, profitability, and customer satisfaction.
• A calibration company – offering insight into the processes, standards, and controlled environments required to do calibrations right.
• A tool vendor – discussing how equipment factors into the decision, and the limits shops need to be aware of.

Instead of hearing a sales pitch, attendees will hear from individuals who have experienced it firsthand.

Tommy Ames explains it best:

“Attendees will hear about all angles of this topic so they can judge for themselves: ‘Is this right for me? Can I do some of it or all of it, or should I sublet calibrations?’ Rather than exploring the possibility of bringing calibrations in-house from someone who is merely trying to sell them equipment and winding up in a situation where they are way over their head, they will learn about the challenges and possibilities from people who have done it, so they can make an informed decision.”

Why It Matters

Shops today face pressure to determine how to handle ADAS calibrations, but making the wrong move can lead to costly mistakes, lost revenue, and safety risks. This seminar is your chance to:

• Hear real-world success stories and cautionary tales
• Understand the space, training, and environment requirements
• Compare the realities of in-house versus outsourced work
• Walk away equipped to make the right decision for your business

And yes, you’ll get to do it over a pint.
