How ADAS Calibration Is Becoming a Must-Have Service for Modern Workshops

ree

Today’s vehicles are packed with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control. These systems depend on accurate radar and camera alignment. Any misalignment—even a few millimetres—can result in dangerous driving behaviour.


This is why ADAS calibration has become an essential service for modern workshops.


1. What Is ADAS Calibration?


ADAS calibration is the process of realigning cameras, radars, sensors, and LiDAR modules so they work accurately. Calibration is required after:

  • Windshield replacement

  • Wheel alignment

  • Suspension repair

  • Collision damage

  • Bumper replacement

  • Radar or camera removal

Proper calibration ensures the vehicle can correctly detect lanes, objects, and distances.


2. Why Workshops Need ADAS Tools Now


With ADAS now present in more than 80% of new vehicles, workshops that don’t offer calibration risk losing customers to competitors.

Key benefits for workshops:

  • New revenue stream

  • Increased professionalism

  • Ability to service modern vehicles

  • Better customer safety and satisfaction


3. How Diagnostics Support ADAS Calibration


Before and after calibration, diagnostic tools provide:

  • Sensor status readings

  • Fault code detection

  • Live data for radar/camera operation

  • Calibration confirmations

  • System reset functions

CHEPQ-compatible diagnostics tools ensure accurate alignment and easy reporting.


4. Safety and Legal Implications


Improper calibration is not only unsafe—it's also a legal risk. Insurers and regulators increasingly require proof of proper ADAS alignment during repairs.

Workshops offering certified calibration stay compliant and build customer trust.


Conclusion


ADAS calibration is no longer optional. As vehicle technology grows more advanced, workshops must upgrade their capabilities to remain relevant. With professional calibration tools and diagnostics, workshops can deliver safety, accuracy, and confidence to their customers.
