ADAS Calibration Services
Today's vehicles rely on cameras, radar, and sensors to keep you safe. After a collision or windshield repair, these systems must be recalibrated to the manufacturer's exact specification — that's what we do, the right way.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems, Explained
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are the cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic sensors that power modern safety features — automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and more.
These sensors are aimed with extraordinary precision. A camera or radar that is off by even a fraction of a degree — or a few millimeters — can misjudge distances and react too late, or not at all. After any collision, glass replacement, or suspension work, ADAS sensors must be recalibrated to the manufacturer's specification so they "see" the road correctly again.
Calibrated in a Controlled, OEM-Spec Environment
Accurate calibration can't be done in just any corner of a shop. It requires a clean, properly lit, level space, manufacturer-specific targets, factory scan tools, and technicians trained to each automaker's procedures.
- Manufacturer-specific targets & equipment
- Level, measured calibration space
- Factory scan tools & OEM procedures
- Certified, OEM-trained technicians
The Safety Features That Depend on Calibration
Automatic Emergency Braking
Forward radar/camera that brakes to avoid or reduce a collision.
Lane Keep & Departure
Forward camera that reads lane lines and helps steer you back.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Radar that maintains a safe following distance automatically.
Blind-Spot Monitoring
Rear radar that warns of vehicles you can't see.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
Detects traffic when you're backing out of a space.
Forward Collision Warning
Alerts you to an imminent front-end collision.
Parking Sensors & 360° Cameras
Ultrasonic sensors and cameras for low-speed maneuvers.
Traffic Sign Recognition
Camera that reads and displays road signs.
When ADAS Recalibration Is Required
Sensors don't have to be visibly damaged to be out of alignment. Calibration is required any time a sensor — or the panel it mounts to — is moved, replaced, or disturbed. Common triggers include:
- After a collision or any structural repair
- Windshield replacement (forward camera is mounted to the glass)
- Bumper removal or replacement (front/rear radar)
- Mirror replacement (blind-spot / surround cameras)
- Wheel alignment or suspension/ride-height changes
- Battery disconnect or sensor module replacement on some models
- Any time a fault code is stored for an ADAS component
- Following manufacturer-specified maintenance procedures
Static vs. Dynamic Calibration
Static Calibration
Performed in the shop using manufacturer-specific targets, precise measurements, and a properly leveled, well-lit space. The sensor is aimed against a known reference.
Dynamic Calibration
Performed by driving the vehicle at set speeds on suitable roads with a scan tool connected, letting the system learn and confirm alignment in real-world conditions.
Many vehicles require both static and dynamic calibration. We follow the exact procedure the manufacturer specifies for your make, model, and year.
How We Calibrate ADAS the Right Way
Pre-Repair Health Scan
We scan the vehicle to identify every ADAS-related fault and module before work begins.
OEM Procedure Lookup
We pull the manufacturer's exact calibration requirements for your specific vehicle.
Complete the Physical Repair
Structural and panel repairs are finished to factory tolerances, with alignment verified.
Static & Dynamic Calibration
We calibrate each sensor using OEM targets and/or a road drive, as required.
Post-Repair Scan & Road Test
We confirm all systems are functioning and clear of faults.
Documentation
You receive documentation of every calibration performed — important for safety and your records.
Trusted With Every Kind of Vehicle
From EVs and exotics to daily drivers — repaired and recalibrated to factory specification. (Hover to view in color.)
Calibrated to Factory Specification — and Documented
Improper calibration can leave safety systems unable to respond when you need them most. As an OEM-certified network, we calibrate to manufacturer specification, document every step, and coordinate directly with your insurer so it's covered as part of a safe, complete repair.
