ADAS Calibration — done right.
Modern vehicles rely on cameras and radar for safety systems like lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. After many common repairs, these systems must be recalibrated to manufacturer specs. We provide static and dynamic ADAS calibration with clear documentation.
Why ADAS calibration matters
ADAS sensors must “see” the road correctly. If a camera/radar is even slightly misaligned, the system can misjudge distance, lane position, or objects — impacting safety features and driver assistance performance.
Safety + liability
Proper calibration helps ensure the system functions as intended and reduces risk after repairs.
OEM procedure
Most manufacturers require calibration after specific repairs. We follow manufacturer steps.
Proof & documentation
We provide scan results and documentation when available so you have a record of what was done.
When calibration is typically required
Many common services can trigger an ADAS calibration requirement. The exact requirement depends on the vehicle, sensor type, and manufacturer procedure.
Windshield replacement
Front cameras mounted to the windshield often require recalibration after replacement.
- Lane departure / lane keep assist
- Traffic sign recognition
- Automatic high beams
Collision or body repair
Impact, bumper work, panel replacement, or structural changes can affect radar/camera alignment.
- Forward radar behind grille/bumper
- Side radar sensors
- Blind spot monitoring
Alignment / suspension / steering
Changes in ride height or alignment angles can require recalibration on many vehicles.
- Wheel alignment
- Struts/springs control arms
- Steering angle sensor reset
Static vs dynamic calibration
Some vehicles require one method; others require both. We verify requirements by VIN and procedure.
Static calibration
Performed in the shop using targets and precise measurements to align sensors to OEM specifications.
- Target boards and measurement setup
- Controlled lighting and floor conditions
- Scan tool initiates calibration routine
Dynamic calibration
Performed by driving the vehicle under specific conditions so the system can learn/verify alignment.
- Speed range and lane markings required
- Weather/traffic dependent
- Scan confirmation after drive cycle
Calibration requirements vary by manufacturer, model, trim, and sensor package. We confirm the correct procedure using vehicle info, scan data, and manufacturer specifications.
Our ADAS calibration process
A professional, repeatable approach that focuses on accuracy and documentation.
1) Verify need
We confirm calibration requirements based on VIN, recent repairs, and scan tool information.
2) Pre-scan
We check for DTCs, system status, and any conditions that must be corrected before calibration.
3) Calibrate + confirm
We complete static/dynamic routines as required and confirm successful completion when available.
FAQ
Common questions about ADAS calibration.
How long does ADAS calibration take? ⌄
Time varies by vehicle and required procedure (static, dynamic, or both). Some calibrations can be done in under an hour; others take longer due to setup, prerequisites, or required drive cycles.
Do I need calibration after a windshield replacement? ⌄
Many vehicles with forward-facing cameras do. We confirm by VIN and manufacturer procedure to ensure the system performs correctly.
Can you calibrate after an alignment or suspension repair? ⌄
Yes. Ride height and alignment changes can affect sensor angles. We verify requirements and perform the needed calibrations.
Will you provide documentation? ⌄
When available, we provide pre/post scans and calibration confirmation details. This helps with records and proof of completion.
