The amazing Frank Terlep, the new CIC chair and VP of ADAS Solutions and Emerging Technology, spoke at the SE Collision Conference on how to open and successfully operate an ADAS calibration center. We chat with him about this!

Here's why you should think about this:

• open a separate business even if it's IN your shop
• the biggest draw is that it's the "biggest opportunity our industry has seen in over 20 years" since all vehicles from 2022 moving forward will all have ADAS
• 10-12% of vehicles are having vehicles calibrated per CCC (our biggest challenge & biggest opportunity)
• incredible profit margin (70% GP on average!)

What you need to think about before opening:

• $150,000 - $225,000 is the typical investment to open separate facility at about 4,000 sq ft which allows 10-12 calibrations/day
• what does my market look like
• do I have the building
• flat floor
• equipped properly
• size
• need about 3 people (tech, porter, manager)
