Automotive Electronic Solutions Providers Launches Collision-Focused Division

Collision Diagnostic Services to be led by industry expert Dan Espersen, who was recently hired as the company's vice president of sales and marketing.

Automotive Electronic Solutions Providers LLC has established a collision-focused segment: Collision Diagnostic Services (CDS). The new segment will be led by industry expert Dan Espersen, who was hired as the company’s vice president of sales and marketing this spring. Espersen has been instrumental in introducing the patent-pending astech device nationwide.

“Our change in focus came when it was clear collision repair shops could best benefit from the use of our products and services,” said Walter McIntyre, chief operating officer for CDS. “Hiring Mr. Espersen and creating CDS were key strategic actions to show our commitment to this industry. We are excited to have Mr. Espersen join our team and guide the direction of our new brand.”

Espersen brings more than 35 years of automotive experience to CDS, having held positions in all aspects of shop operations and management. In the last 10 years, he identified the need, designed and led the development of an industry first: online OEM collision repair information.

Espersen also brings multiple certifications to CDS, including I-CAR Platinum recognition and ASC in both automotive repair and computer technology. He has been published in multiple trade magazines and is an active member of the collision repair industry, often speaking at national events.

“I am thrilled to be joining this company at a very exciting time,” said Espersen. “To bring a new brand and product line to market is both exciting and challenging. In the few short months that the astech device has been in the market, the reception has been fantastic. This new business unit and our new look and feel reflect where we are going and who we are serving.”
