The ADAS calibration equipment package, which will be awarded to both the 2026 BodyShop Business Single-Shop and Multi-Shop Executive of the Year, is worth $40,000.
Autel, the sponsor of the 2026 BodyShop Business Executive of the Year contest, has announced that it will be awarding an ADAS calibration equipment package worth $40,000 to both the winner of the BodyShop Business Single-Shop Executive of the Year and the Multi-Shop Executive of the Year.
The package will include:
- IA900 Wheel Alignment and ADAS Calibration System + All Systems Target Package
- MaxiSYS Ultra S2 Diagnostic Tablet
- 40 CCC ONE Integration Upload Tokens
“We’re proud to support the BodyShop Business Executive of the Year awards and recognize the people who are doing great work in the collision industry,” said Stew Peregrine, senior executive – ADAS, Autel U.S. “As vehicles become more complex, ADAS calibration is an increasingly important part of delivering safe, complete repairs. We’re pleased to give this year’s winners calibration and alignment equipment they can put to work in their shops and use to build those capabilities.”
The IA900 is the industry’s first all-in-one 4-wheel alignment and ADAS calibration unit. The unit features six high-resolution positioning and tracking cameras in the frame, enabling frame and target-to-vehicle setup in as little as a minute, compared to the mechanical setup with plumb bob, lasers and reflectors that can take upwards of 45 minutes.
The MaxiSYS Ultra S2 is a 13.7-inch touchscreen Android-based tablet featuring 512 gigabytes of storage and a 6-in-1 vehicle communication and measurement device. It provides comprehensive coverage of U.S., Asian and European vehicles, 1996 and newer, with advanced diagnostics, including active tests, special functions, and coding and adaptations.
The BodyShop Business Executive of the Year award is given to a true collision repair “visionary,” someone who has experienced great success by being forward-thinking, overcoming challenges and persevering. Winners will be selected based on experience, special achievements and involvement within the local community and collision repair industry.
Two awards will be granted: one for a single-shop executive and one for a multi-shop executive. Any person employed in a collision repair shop as a manager, owner or principle is eligible.
Winners will receive a beautiful crystal trophy at the star-studded Collision Industry Red Carpet Awards Night on Tuesday, Nov. 3 from 7:30-10 p.m. at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort at the 2026 SEMA Show.
