What is ADAS calibration?
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration realigns the cameras, radars and sensors that power features like adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and automatic emergency braking. After windscreen replacement, bumper repair or a collision, these sensors lose their reference point. Calibration restores them to factory accuracy so warning lights clear and the systems flag real hazards correctly. Most cars built from 2018 onwards need calibration after these jobs.

Frequently asked questions
Pricing is fixed across our network. Windscreen calibration is £199. Radar and sensor calibration is £349. Covers radar realignment and dependent ADAS systems. Collision calibration is also £349. A full system reset, including dashboard warning light diagnostics, is £499. You'll know your tier before you book. See /pricing/ for the full breakdown.
Yes, across most of the UK. We have 80+ accredited workshops across the UK and the network grows month on month. Once you submit a number plate and postcode, we book the workshop nearest you with the right equipment for your make.
The calibration itself usually runs 60 to 120 minutes, depending on whether it's static, dynamic or both. The wait between enquiry and slot varies by area. Your written quote comes back with the soonest available slot at the nearest accredited workshop.
Yes. A calibration certificate is issued after every job. It confirms which systems were calibrated, the procedure used, and the post-calibration result. Accepted by UK insurers and useful for your service records.
If your car has a forward-facing camera mounted behind the windscreen, yes. The camera loses its reference point when the glass is removed, even if the new glass is fitted perfectly. Most cars from 2018 onwards have one. The windscreen calibration guide explains which systems are affected on your make.
Anything involving sensors, radar, or front-mounted equipment almost always needs ADAS calibration. Collision calibration is £349 and covers radar realignment plus sensor recalibration. If multiple systems are flagged, a full system reset at £499 covers everything including clearing any dashboard warning codes. See the bumper repair guide for which sensors typically need attention.
