Repairify and Opus IVS said they plan to combine their automotive diagnostic companies to accelerate innovation across the industry. The companies said they will combine Repairify’s asTech and BlueDriver with Opus IVS to leverage their complementary technologies, extensive technical expertise, best-in-class talent pools, and a joint commitment to helping repairers confidently and efficiently service today’s increasingly complex vehicles.

“Diagnostics and calibrations are becoming central to every repair,” Srisu Subrahmanyam, CEO of Plano-based Repairify.

“By bringing together asTech’s remote service excellence, Opus IVS’s advanced hardware engineering and software platform capabilities, and BlueDriver’s broad mechanical repair presence, we can innovate faster and deliver more value to our repairer customers,” Subrahmanyam added in a statement.

Following the close of the transaction, the companies’ collective diagnostics leadership teams will remain intact, with Brian Herron as the CEO of the diagnostics business comprised of asTech, Opus IVS, and BlueDriver.

As automotive technology evolves and demand for accurate diagnostics and ADAS calibrations grows, the combination of Repairify’s diagnostics brands and Opus IVS :builds a more robust foundation for providing innovative solutions with expanded coverage and capabilities,” the companies said.

“asTech and Opus IVS share a vision for helping diagnose, calibrate, and repair the most complex vehicles,” Herron said. “Together, we are beginning the next chapter of innovation and the future of vehicle repair. Our north star has been and will remain our commitment to enabling our repair customers to grow their business by delivering services and diagnostic technology so they can take on the most complex vehicle repairs. This combination will accelerate our ability to deliver solutions to the repairers, while still maintaining the focus and expertise that our collective customers have come to expect.”

asTech, Opus IVS, and BlueDriver will remain distinct brands within the combined business and will continue to support their current products and customers, the companies said. Over time, the businesses plan to integrate capabilities and deliver new innovations that expand their customers’ diagnostic capabilities, increase access to technology, and streamline workflows for the industry.
