Bodyshop equipment specialist, Car-O-Liner, has announced that Opel/Vauxhall in Europe has officially approved the company’s Point X diagnostic measuring tool.

The leading car manufacturer has approved the PointX II for the following operations:

• Diagnosis of collision damaged vehicles
• Diagnosis of previously owned cars
• Further diagnosis in chassis measurement for the exclusion procedure

Stuart Alexander of Car-O-Liner said, "We are delighted to have received this approval from Opel. It reflects the vital role that the PointX can play in offering fast and accurate damage analysis and shows how it is a device that can be a major asset to Opel approved repairers and dealer in Ireland.”

PointX is a lightweight, efficient and easy to use measuring arm which is widely used by bodyshops across Ireland as both a diagnostic and estimating measuring device and economical measuring system for use in the repair process. It saves time and can be used to identify structural damage at the time of the estimate, thus avoiding delays for estimate supplements. It can also provide quick and accurate damage analysis, complete with precise measuring and full-computerised documentation. It features automatic height calculation, as well as full upper body Point-To-Point measurement capability, which dramatically speeds up the measuring process.

The PointX can be wirelessly connected to Car-O-Liner Vision2 Software, which includes measurement data for over 7,000 measured vehicles and is compatible with Car-O-Tronic electronic measuring system adapters.
