ADAS Empowered

Crashes are getting smarter—and so must repairs. In this episode of ADAS Empowered, host Joel Adcock (Director of Strategic Partnerships at Revv) sits down with Dan Risley, VP of Quality Repair & Market Development at CCC Intelligent Solutions, to unpack the realities of ADAS in collision repair: where calibrations go off the rails, how to document them the right way, and why CCC × Revv’s new integration helps shops identify, justify, and get paid for required calibrations—earlier in the process.
We cover what to expect at MSO Symposium, CIC, and SEMA, fresh insights from CCC Crash Course, the case for doing some calibrations in-house (and when to sublet), technician and training gaps, OEM terminology headaches, and why standardizing around sensors/components (radar/camera) is the practical path forward. If you’re aiming to reduce supplements, cut length-of-rental, and ship safer cars, this one’s your playbook.

Key Takeaways
  • Identify calibrations early: tools now surface prescriptive operations at estimate time to reduce supplements and rental days.
  • Document with standardized ops: CCC ONE + Revv maps to MOTOR entries for clear, compliant line items—no cryptic “CALIB” notes.
  • Cycle-time compounds: more calibrations = more days; in-house capacity and reliable sublet partners are both strategic levers.
  • Specialize smartly: focus brands where you can justify equipment, targets, space, and training.
  • Continuous learning wins: procedures evolve—so should your people and processes.
