AirPro Diagnostics brings the expert to the car

Modern cars can leave the body shop looking perfect and still need their cameras recalibrated. AirPro Diagnostics connects the technician holding the keys with the specialist who knows what the vehicle needs.

The Ford had hit a bird. Its grille was damaged, and a technician was trying to recalibrate its surround-view cameras. The first drive through a parking lot failed. He suspected too many turns. In AirPro Diagnostics’ published account, brand specialist Taylor McNees found the useful distinction: stopping for pedestrians was fine; steering around them interrupted the conditions the calibration needed. The next step was to restart the software and change the drive.

It is an oddly modest scene for a technology business. A car, a parking lot, someone explaining how to proceed. Yet it captures AirPro’s proposition. The equipment gets a repairer into the vehicle’s electronic systems. Someone who understands the particular system helps the repairer make sense of what happens next.

The quick read / 30 seconds
  • The customer: collision, glass and general repair shops.
  • The job: scans, diagnostics, programming and ADAS calibration.
  • The difference: remote brand specialists working with the technician at the car.
  • The next chapter: a 2026 merger with repair-software company Revv.

A repair can look finished before it is

Advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, create an awkward problem for repair businesses. The visible job might be a windshield replacement or suspension work. Depending on the vehicle and procedure, the electronic systems need calibration afterward. A shop has to recognize the requirement, arrange the work and account for it before returning the keys.

AirPro sells businesses a way to handle that work where the vehicle already sits. A connected diagnostic device gives access to scanning and specialist assistance. The local technician carries out the physical tasks; a remote specialist can guide the procedure. Its customers include independent shops, dealership collision centers, glass installers and operators managing multiple locations.

The missing person in the toolbox

The idea grew out of repair experience. Steve Casella, who had operated a mechanical shop in South Florida, worked with module-repair specialist Scotty West on remote diagnostics and programming. His company biography dates AirPro’s creation with West and Lonnie Margol to 2016. Jonathan Brigman, another founder, built the software foundation and developed ORION.

By January 2026, AirPro reported more than 200 trained brand specialists. That division of labor matters. A general repair shop encounters many manufacturers; a specialist can concentrate on the systems of a particular brand. AirPro pairs that knowledge with diagnostic tooling and promises to begin assistance within ten minutes of a request. That is a response pledge, rather than a promise to finish every repair in ten minutes.

“A calibration that completes and a calibration that worked are two different things.”

AirPro’s current assisted-inspection description also makes a useful distinction about software. Its standard route uses brand-authenticated third-party tooling. OEM-licensed software is available on request. A shop evaluating the service should ask which route its particular job requires, rather than assume every scan uses the vehicle manufacturer’s own software.

A target that travels with the glass

Auggie Air gives the business a tangible calling card. The windshield-mounted device renders digital targets for supported forward-facing camera recalibrations. Conventional target arrangements can demand storage, positioning work and space around a vehicle. A portable target changes the logistics, particularly for glass installers working from vans.

In a 2023 AGRR interview, Pinal County Auto Glass co-owner Martin Medina described looking for equipment his technicians could carry without a dedicated vehicle full of stands and targets. An AirPro demonstration helped sell him on Auggie. His account also supplied a useful limit: the device suited about 90 percent of his shop’s jobs. That was one operator’s experience, with a specific workload.

ORION handles the less photogenic work: service requests, scanning reports, invoices, VIN decoding and user management. Those records become particularly useful across locations. AirPro’s CCC integration can automatically create repairs in ORION from CCC ONE. The intention is straightforward: spend less time entering information already captured elsewhere.

The price of keeping the job

The business model combines equipment, software and services. At the time of review, Auggie Air’s dedicated pricing page listed hardware starting at $17,995, plus a $4,800 annual software license. Self-guided recalibrations are unlimited under that offer; assisted services cost extra. The starting hardware and first annual license therefore total $22,795, before additional charges.

For diagnostic scanning, the dedicated plan tables listed Flex 20 at $349 monthly and Assist 20 at $525 monthly for independent single-location shops. Each includes twenty pre-scans; Assist adds live specialist involvement on each. Other services are pay-per-use, and the tables show 24-month agreements. Some landing pages advertise lower entry prices, so a written, workload-specific quote matters.

The calculation a reader can copy is simple: count eligible jobs, estimate contribution after labor and service charges, then compare it with equipment and recurring costs. Confirm coverage by make, model and year first. Low volume, an unsupported procedure or unsuitable working conditions can change the answer. Buying a target does not create demand.

Now connect the rest of the repair

AirPro competes with remote diagnostic providers such as asTech and Opus IVS, alongside dealerships and local calibration centers. Its pitch joins portable targeting, specialist support and documentation. Fix Network named it a preferred supplier in 2024, opening a route to collision and glass franchisees in the United States and Canada.

Rotunda Capital Partners acquired AirPro in February 2025, with management retaining ownership. In August 2026, AirPro merged with Revv, whose software identifies calibration requirements and organizes repair workflows. Driaan du Toit leads the combined business. Revv remains tool-agnostic. The announced ambition is to connect identifying the work with getting it performed and documented. For the repairer facing an unfamiliar vehicle, the practical attraction is having those steps fit together.
