Revv launches United ADAS Collective to set calibration standards, offer education

Revv has announced the launch of the United ADAS Collective (UAC), an independent professional organization that it says is exclusively for the ADAS calibration community.

Designed as an industry-wide hub, the UAC provides shared standards, education, events, and peer-to-peer collaboration, according to a press release from Revv.

“Revv originally created the ADAS Empowered Community, hosting over 1,000 calibration and repair professionals on an online platform,” Adi Bathla, Revv’s CEO and co-founder, told Repairer Driven News. “There, professionals could swap insights, ask questions, and learn from one another. Our team at Revv saw the value of this community, and from there, launched the UAC as an all-encompassing organization, dedicated specifically to ADAS. All members from the original community will be transitioned directly over to the UAC.”

He added that the collective grew quickly because it offers real, practical value: professionals can join for free, connect with peers and ADAS experts, and take part in virtual and in-person events. Members include collision repair shop owners and managers, ADAS and calibration technicians, diagnostic professionals, and auto glass and windshield specialists.

“With the formal launch of the UAC, we’re now investing in more educational programming, virtual training, access to advanced ADAS specialists, and unique member experiences,” Bathla said. “Members will also gain access to industry news, a job board, original equipment (OE)-specific technical discussions, peer-to-peer collaboration, and hands-on learning opportunities.”

He also noted that the UAC is guided by an advisory board of industry professionals, which Revv is excited to have play a role in shaping the UAC’s future.

“The UAC will work with collision organizations through shared education initiatives, technical discussions, events, and networking opportunities for professionals,” Bathla said. “By providing standards, training, and a centralized group for ADAS calibration, it will help collision organizations further support their members as calibrations evolve into a standalone service category.”

The release states that the UAC launch “comes at a pivotal moment for the automotive industry, as ADAS has become standard across nearly all new vehicles.”

“With 90% of U.S. car sales now featuring these systems and the average vehicle containing more than 100 sensors, routine repairs like a cracked windshield, damaged bumper, or broken side mirror often require precise calibration before a vehicle can be safely returned to the road,” the release states.

Bathla added, “As ADAS becomes standard in almost all new vehicles and calibrations become required for even routine repairs, the UAC aims to empower professionals with the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to perform repairs safely, consistently, and at scale.”

The UAC’s programming will soon include tiered training and certification, with a mix of free and paid membership options based on the level of involvement and resources sought.

The first UAC event will be held in May. Additional details will be announced.

The UAC is guided by Executive Director Joel Adcock, who is also Revv’s director of strategic partnerships, and an advisory board including:

• • Will Johnston, Precision Automotive Calibration Experts (PACE) president
  • Ron Racine, Technical Training Developers founder and owner
  • Brett Hass, Foresite CEO
  • Jason Bartanen, Collision ProAssist founder and chief technician advocate
  • Erin Solis, Square One Tech Systems senior vice president of operations
  • Mark Bruno, ADAS Calibrations of Florida president
  • Al Urban, Automotive Calibration Centers owner
  • Darrell Amberson, Quality Collision Group vice president of industry and OEM relations
  • Michael Frangione, Essential Auto Calibration & Glass operator
  • Paul Bostel, Accelerated Vehicle Technology director
  • Mathew Pittman, CC&C founder
  • Matthew Braam, Burke Porter director of key accounts
  • Stew Peregrine, Autel senior executive

The emergence of other ADAS-focused groups similar to UAC is a healthy sign that the category is growing and maturing, Bathla said.

“We’ve seen groups emerge as ADAS calibration becomes more central to vehicle repair,” he said. “Our goal is to help bring consistency and clarity to a rapidly evolving space. As the industry continues to develop, we expect opportunities for collaboration wherever it benefits technicians, shops, and vehicle safety overall.”

Other groups such as the ADAS Professionals of America — with charter members All Clear Diagnostics and Calibration, Kinetic, Car ADAS and Precision Diagnostics — began circulating literature during the 2025 SEMA Show. The ADASPOA website states that the association is dedicated to advancing the field of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) through collaboration, innovation, and education with a mission to provide a unified platform for industry professionals to exchange knowledge, establish best practices, and engage with regulatory stakeholders.

The Revv release adds that tightening regulations and increasingly advanced technology are driving ADAS calibration into a standalone service category, much like when oil changes evolved into a dedicated market decades ago.

“Revv is helping power this shift, serving as the backbone of the emerging category with a single platform that connects technicians, insurers, and customers, enabling safe, compliant calibrations at scale,” the release states.
