Collision Diagnostic Services (CDS) has announced the release of the next-generation asTech2 diagnostic tool. The new asTech2 device, which is now shipping, will cover nearly all makes and models, 2008 and newer. In addition to launching a new mobile app, the company also added new features that include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability. NACE Show attendees had the opportunity to learn more about the product and order the asTech2 device at the company’s booth.

The asTech2 device was also awarded 2nd place in the collision repair and refinish product category at the New Product Showcase at this past year’s SEMA Show. The company received a significant number of pre-orders for the product as a result, the majority of which have already been filled.

“The next generation asTech2 device represents a significant step forward in our company’s pursuit to provide the best diagnostic services to the collision repair industry,” said Dan Young, vice president of Sales and Marketing for CDS. “With today’s vehicles, it is becoming increasingly difficult to perform a proper repair without the help of trained specialists in the area of diagnostics, as evidenced by four of the top auto manufacturers’ recent pre- and post-diagnostic scan position statements.”
