Common Questions About ADAS Calibration
Forward-facing cameras are mounted on windshields for adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and collision warning. Windshield removal/replacement shifts camera position. Recalibration ensures camera alignment with vehicle centerline and proper function. Incorrect calibration may disable safety features.
Lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, collision warning, blind spot detection, and parking assistance all require verification/calibration. Camera-based systems need optical alignment. Radar-based systems need angle verification. Professional ADAS calibration equipment is required; not all shops have capability.
Basic camera calibration: $500-800. Radar calibration: $800-1,200. Multi-system calibration: $1,200-2,000+. Insurance typically covers ADAS calibration as part of collision repair claims. Verify insurance coverage before repair; some policies have specific calibration requirements.
