    ADAS Calibration Questions

    Cameras, radar, and sensors have to be recalibrated after common repairs, or driver-assist systems can read the road incorrectly.

    What is ADAS calibration?

    ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems — forward-facing cameras, radar, blind-spot monitors, parking sensors, and lane-keep assist. Calibration realigns those sensors to manufacturer specification so they measure distance and lane position correctly.

    When does my vehicle need it?

    After windshield replacement, bumper or grille work, mirror or sensor replacement, suspension or alignment work, ride-height changes, and most collision repairs.

    What is the difference between static and dynamic calibration?

    Static calibration is performed in the shop with targets at measured distances. Dynamic calibration is performed while driving at set speeds. Some vehicles require one, some require both — we follow the manufacturer procedure for your specific make and model.

    Do you calibrate in-house?

    Yes. ADAS calibration is done in-house, so your vehicle does not get shipped to a third party and sit in someone else's queue.

    Do I get documentation?

    Yes. You receive calibration documentation showing the procedure performed and the pass result, which also matters for insurance and resale.

    What happens if calibration is skipped?

    Automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise can misread the road — braking late, drifting, or throwing warning lights. It is a safety system, not an option.
