# ADAS Scan and Recalibration

ADAS recalibration restores the aim and reference of camera and radar based driver assistance systems after body repair, glass replacement, or structural work. Without it, lane keeping, collision warning, and adaptive cruise operate against incorrect geometry.

Range: $285 to $1,800

Collision estimates for insurance claim walk-ins carry no charge. Systems estimates are $150 and diagnostics are $285 per hour, both credited against an authorized repair.

## Symptoms

- Driver assistance warning light after a repair
- Lane keeping activating incorrectly
- Collision warning triggering with no obstacle
- Adaptive cruise dropping out or misjudging distance

## Why the calibration is invalidated

A forward camera is aimed relative to the vehicle centerline and its mounting position on the glass. Replace the windshield and the camera sits fractionally differently, which at a hundred metres down the road is a significant aiming error.

Radar sensors mounted in bumpers and grilles have the same issue after front-end repair. Even a bumper cover that sits a few millimeters off changes what the sensor sees.

- Pre-repair scan to record existing fault codes
- Static and dynamic recalibration as the system requires
- Post-calibration verification scan
- Documentation of the calibration for the repair record
- Fault code resolution where the system reports errors

## Questions

**Is recalibration always needed after a windshield?**

On any vehicle with a windshield-mounted camera, yes. Skipping it leaves a safety system operating on invalid reference data, which is worse than the system not being fitted at all.

**How long does calibration take?**

One to seven labor hours depending on the system and whether static, dynamic, or both procedures are required.

**Do you scan before repair as well?**

Yes. A pre-repair scan records what was already faulted, which separates pre-existing issues from anything related to the repair.
