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. More on what ADAS calibration involves
How ADAS Recalibration Works
- 1
Submit Enquiry
Provide your number plate, what's been repaired or replaced, and how to reach you. Takes about 60 seconds.
- 2
Calibration Check
We read the registration to see which systems your car carries and which of them the work has knocked out. Your postcode picks the service centre. You get the price for each system, and the slot, in writing before you commit.
- 3
Professional Calibration
Your car goes to the assigned centre and each system on the booking is calibrated to manufacturer specification. Anything the diagnostic turns up that isn't a calibration job gets written up and quoted before it's touched.
- 4
Calibration certificate
You leave with a calibration certificate naming every system signed off and the tolerance each was checked against. Keep it with the service history.

What ADAS calibration costs, per system
This is the whole card. You pay for the systems that actually need calibrating, not a package. Every price is per system, shown inc VAT with the net figure alongside. Your total is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Calibration — per system
Coding a replaced part to your vehicle
- When your job needs a diagnostic scan, it's £54 inc VAT (£45 +VAT), always itemised as its own line. It shows which systems were live before work started.
- Two or more systems in one visit: the highest-priced system is full price, each additional system is 35% off at a centre. Scans aren't part of the discount. Front camera and front radar together come to £267.30 inc VAT (£222.75 +VAT).
- A replaced camera or radar is coded to the vehicle and then calibrated, so a replacement job is the coding line above plus the calibration for that system, with the multi-system discount applied at a centre. Your written quote itemises both.
- On mobile trade visits only: if the technician attends and the calibration can't be completed, a sensor fitted misaligned for example, a call-out fee of up to £72 inc VAT (£60 +VAT) applies.
- Mobile calibration is available for garages and bodyshops with workshop conditions. Ask us.

We run the enquiry end: read the registration, work out which systems need calibrating, price them off one national card, and route the job to the service centre covering your postcode.

Calibration runs to full manufacturer specification, and the centre issues your certificate when the job is signed off.

Tell us what's happened: windscreen swap, bumper repair, warning light. The callback puts a price on each system that needs doing and names the centre covering your postcode.
Frequently asked questions
Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), front radar is the same, with the full rate card on this page. Two or more systems in one visit: the highest-priced system is full price and each additional system is 35% off at a centre. What you pay is set by which systems the work actually knocked out, so a single camera job and a full front-end rebuild are different bills, and you see both figures before you book. Dealer quotes for the same job run a long way above that: £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us.
Almost certainly, and your postcode is what settles it. The network runs to 80+ service centres spread across the UK, and the one covering your postcode takes the job. Send the registration and postcode with your enquiry and the covering centre's name and address are confirmed with your booking. Which centre you get never changes what you pay, because the rate card is national.
It comes down to how many systems the booking covers. One camera is a short job. A car with camera, radar and parking sensors all out of tolerance takes proportionally longer, and a diagnostic scan adds a step of its own when the job needs one. We won't put an hour figure on it before anyone has seen the car, so the centre gives you the time window when it takes the booking. Slots are often within the week, depending on centre availability.
Yes. A calibration certificate is issued after every job. It names the systems calibrated, the procedure used, and the readings at the end. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue. Keep it with the service history: it is the record of what was done and to what standard.
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 that moved a camera, a radar or a parking sensor. After a front-end repair that is usually the front camera and the front radar, £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) each before the multi-system discount, plus blind spot radar if a wing or a door took part of the impact. Where a sensor was replaced rather than knocked out of aim, the new part has to be coded to your car, and that coding line is billed alongside the calibration for that system. Every line is on the rate card above and repeated in your written quote. The bumper repair guide walks through which sensors usually need attention.
