Let’s explore the core features that make this system exceptional—and more importantly, how each one translates into real-world benefits for your business.

Fast, Web-Based, Intuitive Software with Automated Workflows

The VAS 701 011 doesn’t just upgrade your hardware, it modernises your workflow. The system runs on fully web-based software, accessible from any web-enabled device—tablet, PC, or otherwise. There’s no additional software to install, no dedicated PC needed, and no complicated user interface.

The reactive software reads and displays camber, caster, and toe values in real time. Thanks to the system’s active reference technology, the measurement pods compensate for movement and vibration at any height, delivering consistently accurate readings at all times.

The program boasts real-time vehicle movement tracking, automatic error compensation (such as rim run-out), quick accident assessment with cross-diagonal measurements, and an intuitive interface designed to guide technicians of all levels through every alignment step, even automating intermediate steps to reduce the number of clicks or trips around the vehicle.

What This Means for Your Shop:

• Speed up alignment jobs with fewer manual steps and streamlined workflows.
• Eliminate common errors through built-in compensation logic.
• Allow multiple technicians to access the system from any device.
• Reduce technician training time with a system that’s easy to use from day one.

Each measurement pod in the VAS 701 011 system is equipped with OLED displays that show real-time values. No need to restart measurements or second-guess results—the system constantly adjusts to maintain precision.

Staying true to being fully mobile, these pods work on any height, even on the ground.

When attached to the lift, the measurement pods also move with the lift, allowing the technicians to work from any comfortable height. The result is a more ergonomic, hands-free alignment experience. 

What This Means for Your Shop:

• Your technicians can make adjustments comfortably and confidently from any height.
• Measurements remain stable even on uneven floors or with moving vehicles.
• With real-time 3D compensation and optimised display angles, your technicians can work at any height without constantly stopping to check monitors or re-measure.
• Fewer interruptions mean faster alignments and more cars through the bay.
  
  

QR-Coded Targets for Seamless Switching

Every target in the VAS 701 011 system carries a QR code and its own coded ID. When scanned during setup, the correct calibration parameters are automatically loaded—no manual input required. Up to eight targets can be stored in the system at a time, and they can be moved freely between clamps without affecting accuracy.

There’s no calibration necessary for switching targets or vehicles.

What This Means for Your Shop:

• Use any target on any wheel. No confusion.
• Eliminate setup errors and speed up setup processes.
• Easily share targets across bays or among technicians.
• Maintain consistent, precise measurements across vehicles.
  
  

Q.Grip Wheel Clamps: Scratch-Free, Quick Setup

The system includes Q.Grip clamps, an innovative clamping design that never contacts the rim. Instead, the clamps grip the tyre itself, which means no need to remove hubcaps, no risk of scratching alloys, and no strain from repetitive knob adjustments.

When not in use, the clamps can be mounted neatly on the wall, keeping your work area clutter-free.

What This Means for Your Shop:

• Set up vehicles for alignment in seconds, not minutes.
• Avoid costly rim damage and improve service quality for high-end cars.
• Minimise technician fatigue with no fiddly adjustments.
• Improve shop organisation with efficient clamp storage.
  
  

Seamless Workshop Integration

The VAS 701 011 is built to integrate seamlessly with your workshop’s existing network. Compatible with Workshop-Net (ASA), it allows full access to customer reports, job history, and real-time data from any PC or device on the network.

Whether you’re in the office or on the shop floor, you can control the alignment program, edit customer data, and print reports—all without being tethered to a single device.

What This Means for Your Shop:

• Improve workflow by allowing service advisors and technicians to work collaboratively from different areas.
• Access customer data instantly from the front desk or back office.
• Print alignment results anywhere, without walking back to a terminal.
• Reduce admin bottlenecks and increase service transparency.
  
  

Zero-Space, Fully Mobile, and Wireless

Say goodbye to cluttered alignment bays. The VAS 701 011 is designed from the ground up to be completely wireless and column-free.

These pods can be controlled via a tablet and powered by long-life Li-ion batteries, removing the need for trolleys or bulky hardware.

Considering mobile servicing? This powerful system takes the professional wheel alignment service to your client wherever they are, whether they are at the shop or prepping for a race.

At the shop, the entire system can be mounted directly to the wall when not in use, freeing up the bay entirely for other tasks. Using a dedicated trolley is entirely up to your team.

What This Means for Your Shop:

• Reclaim space in busy bays and improve safety by eliminating floor clutter.
• Perform alignments anywhere, even in multipurpose or narrow bays.
• Store the system neatly when not in use to maximise shop flexibility.
• Run the system entirely from a tablet. No PC or hardwired station needed.
  
  

Backed by the Volkswagen Group: VAS-Approved and Porsche-Compliant

The Beissbarth VAS 701 011 isn’t just smart—it’s officially homologated by the Volkswagen Group under the designation VAS 701 011. This means it meets the strict technical standards required for use in VAG (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, Škoda) service centres and authorised repair facilities.

Integrated but Optional Add-Ons That Supercharge Your Service Offering

While the VAS 701 011 delivers impressive performance out of the box, its modular design allows for powerful upgrades that enhance usability, comfort, and compatibility with a wider range of vehicles.

For workshops aiming to grow their service offering, these add-ons offer a cost-effective way to upscale.

ADAS Calibration Integration

Because the VAS 701 011 wheel alignment system doesn’t occupy the front of the vehicle, you can complete alignments and ADAS calibrations in the same bay, using a compact, unified setup.

By adding the Beissbarth VAS 6430 ADAS calibration system, your shop can perform ADAS calibration using the same alignment cameras—no measuring tapes or additional software required.

What's unique about this integration is, with real-time digital positioning, it measures distance, height, centricity and yaw angle in one step instead of four, further speeding up the calibration process.

And like the main system, the Beissbarth VAS 6430 ADAS calibration system is also easy to relocate or set aside when not in use.

What This Means for Your Shop:

• Expand your services without investing in separate ADAS systems or working bays
• Complete ADAS and alignment in one workflow, using the same equipment.
• Free up space by eliminating the need for separate calibration stations.
• Reduce setup and repositioning time, improving overall productivity.
• Start with the core features and expand your services as you earn, without spending too much on upgrades.

Suspension Tuning with Integrated Weight Scales

Pairing the VAS 701 011 with Beissbarth’s VAS 701 009 weight scales allows real-time corner weight measurement during alignment. 

Since weight distribution alters suspension angles and affect how the tyres contact the road, integrating weight distribution during alignment ensures optimal braking and steering performance. With this optional add-on, suspension tuning and alignment can be done at the same time, using the same software, without having to transfer from bay to bay.

What This Means for Your Shop:

• Offer suspension tuning services without moving vehicles between bays.
• Ensure accurate alignment with real-time weight compensation.
• Increase value for performance clients (e.g. high-end marques).
• Save time by eliminating back-and-forth adjustments between tools.
• Porsche-specific compatibility: The VAS 701 011 paired with the VAS 701 009 meets manufacturer specifications for accurate wheel load measurement and alignment procedures tailored to Porsche chassis dynamics.
