ADAS Calibration Services

ADAS calibration re-aims the cameras, radar, and sensors behind automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, and blind spot monitoring. After a windshield, bumper, or mirror is repaired or replaced, those systems have to be recalibrated to manufacturer specification or they read the road wrong.

CAMERA & SENSOR RECALIBRATION

Cameras, radar sensors, and lane-keeping systems have to be recalibrated after collision repair. A bumper, windshield, or mirror moved even slightly can throw them off. We work with Smart Express to recalibrate each system to your manufacturer’s specifications.

The service

What is ADAS Calibration?

ADAS calibration re-aims the cameras, radar, and sensors behind features like automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise, and blind spot monitoring. These systems are aimed at fixed points on the vehicle. When a part they’re mounted to is repaired or replaced, they have to be recalibrated to manufacturer specification, or they read the road wrong.

Calibration is required more often than most drivers expect. Common triggers include:

  • Windshield replacement on a camera-equipped vehicle
  • Bumper repair or replacement with radar behind it
  • Mirror, grille, or headlight replacement
  • Suspension or alignment work that changes ride height

How it works

Our ADAS Calibration Process

01

Identify what’s required

We check your vehicle’s build and the repairs performed against manufacturer requirements to determine which systems need calibration, and which type.

02

Complete repairs first

Calibration only holds once the body is back to pre-loss condition, so structural and panel work is finished and verified before calibration starts.

03

Calibrate to spec

Working with Smart Express, each system is calibrated following your manufacturer’s procedure, whether static, dynamic, or both, depending on the vehicle.

04

Verify and document

A post-calibration scan confirms every system reports ready, and the results are documented for your records and your insurance company.

Why Waln for ADAS Calibration

Calibration only holds if the body underneath is back to factory specification first. Because we do the structural and panel work in-house and measure it against manufacturer data, the vehicle is genuinely ready before calibration starts.

We work with Smart Express to follow each manufacturer’s procedure, whether that’s a static setup, a dynamic road test, or both.

A post-calibration scan confirms every system reports ready, and we document the result for your records and your insurer.

FAQs

What is ADAS calibration and why is it required after repairs?

Calibration ensures that Advanced Driver Assistance Systems like lane departure warnings and backup cameras function accurately after repairs.

How much does ADAS calibration cost?

Calibration is priced by the vehicle and the procedure rather than a flat rate. It depends on how many systems need recalibrating, whether your manufacturer requires a static or dynamic procedure, and your specific make and model. When calibration follows a covered collision repair, it’s typically part of the claim.

What happens if my vehicle isn’t recalibrated?

Driving with uncalibrated sensors can cause malfunctioning safety features and increase your risk in emergencies.

What vehicle repairs trigger the need for sensor calibration?

Calibration is required after windshield replacement, bumper repairs, suspension work, or any collision involving ADAS-equipped vehicles.
