Kinetic, which operates a growing network of AI-enabled service hubs for modern vehicles, today announced the opening of two Kinetic Hubs in Phoenix, marking the company’s first entry into Arizona, and its first Kinetic Hub in Los Angeles. The three facilities will support auto body shops and service centers across Arizona and Southern California with precision appraisal, diagnostics, programming and calibration services for vehicles equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) as well as for emerging autonomous vehicle platforms.
ADAS-equipped vehicles are already on the road at scale today, and they represent the foundation for the autonomous vehicle future. Features such as automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, blind-spot monitoring and surround-view systems rely on cameras, radar, lidar and other sensors that must be precisely diagnosed and calibrated after repair. As vehicle technology becomes more complex, traditional repair infrastructure is struggling to keep pace.
“ADAS vehicles are the near-term reality and autonomous vehicles are the long-term destination,” said Nikhil Naikal, CEO and co-founder of Kinetic. “Both require a new level of precision and intelligence in maintenance and repair services. As we expand our network of Kinetic Hubs across Arizona and Southern California, we are building the infrastructure needed to support the vehicles on the road today while preparing the automotive industry for the autonomous fleets of tomorrow.”
The number of vehicles equipped with ADAS continues to grow rapidly, creating immediate demand for specialized calibration, diagnostics and digital repair services. At the same time, California and Arizona remain key markets for autonomous vehicle deployment and testing. As of early 2026, the California Department of Motor Vehicles had permitted 28 companies to test autonomous vehicles on public roads in the state. Meanwhile, the Arizona Department of Transportation has authorized more than a dozen companies to test or operate autonomous vehicles in Arizona. Together, these trends underscore the need for scalable, standardized infrastructure that can support both today’s ADAS-enabled vehicles and tomorrow’s autonomous fleets.
Kinetic’s first Phoenix Hub is a 6,000-square-foot facility in Deer Valley that is already serving multiple Fix Auto shops in the area. Kinetic’s second Phoenix Hub is an 8,600-square-foot facility serving dealerships and shops in the Tempe area. The company’s new 8,000-square-foot Kinetic Hub in Inglewood in Los Angeles County is supporting customers including Chilton Auto Body and Century 1st Auto Body & Paint. The Inglewood Hub serves surrounding communities including Hawthorne, Westchester, El Segundo, Lennox, Playa del Rey, Manhattan Beach and Del Aire.
At Kinetic Hubs, certified technicians leverage proprietary AI, computer vision and advanced robotics to diagnose, calibrate and digitally program ADAS-equipped vehicles. Each facility uses Kinetic Vision, an AI-powered imaging system that generates fast, accurate repair estimates, and Kinetic ID, which identifies calibration needs following a collision. Kinetic’s AI powers the company’s connected infrastructure network, driving accuracy and efficiency across the repair process.
Kinetic’s growing network of robotics-enabled hubs now spans 11 locations across California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
