Collision Diagnostic Services primary goal is make diagnosing vehicles more affordable for small automotive shops across the country. Since automotive diagnostics tools typically cost thousands of dollars and generally make and sometimes model specific, they can be difficult for small automotive shops to afford. This can severely limit the range of vehicles that these shops can diagnose. Small automotive shops needed a better solution. CDS has come to the rescue by providing access to automotive diagnostics tools remotely. Automotive shops can now purchase a single configurable device that will allow them to diagnose a wide range of vehicles from anywhere in the country. Without the need for direct access to make or model specific diagnostics tools. To bring the solution to life, CDS enlisted the help of paragon innovations. Together, Paragon and CDS developed the Aztec, a device that used the Internet to connect cars to remotely located diagnostics tools. By having one asset connected to a car and the other to the appropriate diagnostics tool, it was possible to simulate a direct connection between the car and the tool. In this way, small shops can access a full complement of diagnostics tools at an affordable cost. In August of twenty fifteen, CDS approach paragon innovations once again, leading to the design, development, and deployment of the Aztec two. The company has continued to grow invite using the device that paragon developed. CDS is tirelessly working on adding support for communication with new vehicles, along with various other features, including cloud server functionality. CDS has successfully scaled the Aztec TV to support shops across the country and is revolutionizing auto repair. This is just one of many ways that paragon innovations has developed devices that shape our customers' markets. If you have an idea for a product that can revolutionize your industry, contacting paragon innovations could be the first step to making your idea a reality.
