ADAS Calibration Services
Professional camera and sensor calibration after windshield replacement. Ensure your safety systems work properly.
What is ADAS Calibration?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are safety features in modern vehicles that use cameras and sensors mounted on or near the windshield. When your windshield is replaced, these cameras must be precisely recalibrated to function correctly and keep you safe.
ADAS calibration involves using specialized equipment to realign cameras and sensors to manufacturer specifications. Even a slight misalignment of just one degree can cause safety features to malfunction or provide incorrect warnings, potentially leading to dangerous situations.
Common ADAS Features Requiring Calibration
Lane Departure Warning
Alerts when vehicle drifts out of lane without signaling
Lane Keep Assist
Gently steers vehicle back into lane if drifting
Forward Collision Warning
Warns of potential front-end collision with vehicle or object
Automatic Emergency Braking
Automatically applies brakes to prevent or reduce collision impact
Adaptive Cruise Control
Maintains set speed and safe distance from vehicle ahead
Traffic Sign Recognition
Reads and displays speed limits and other road signs
Why Calibration is Critical
Skipping ADAS calibration after windshield replacement can result in:
- •Safety systems not activating when needed
- •False warnings that cause driver distraction
- •Automatic braking at wrong times
- •Lane assistance steering you incorrectly
- •Voiding vehicle warranty or insurance claims
Types of ADAS Calibration
Static Calibration
Performed in-shop using specialized targets and equipment. Vehicle is stationary during calibration process.
Dynamic Calibration
Performed by driving the vehicle on road at specific speeds. Cameras calibrate while observing road markings.
ADAS Calibration Pricing
ADAS calibration pricing varies from $250 to over $1,000, with average costs generally ranging from $300 to $600. The final price depends on the complexity of the system, vehicle make and model, type of calibration needed, and service provider location.
Standard/Basic
$150-$250
Single camera, static calibration
Advanced/Complex
$300-$600
Multiple sensors, static + dynamic
Luxury/High-End
$500-$1,000+
Luxury brands, sophisticated systems
Factors Influencing Cost:
- Vehicle Type: Luxury and European vehicles with sophisticated systems cost more to calibrate
- Calibration Type: Static calibration (in-shop) is less expensive than dynamic (requires driving)
- Number of Sensors: More ADAS sensors (radar, cameras, lidar) increase complexity and cost
- Make and Model: Different manufacturers have varying requirements and technology
- Service Provider: Location and labor rates vary significantly by shop
Calibration is often included or bundled with windshield replacement. Insurance may cover calibration as part of glass replacement claim.
