Alpine ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.

Often very little, and sometimes nothing at all. Alpine built the A110 light and the assistance list is short by design: no forward camera bonded to the windscreen and no front radar in the nose, which is why the car doesn't behave like a Renault hatchback after front-end work.

What an A110 can carry, depending on trim and model year, is parking sensors and a reversing camera, and both of those are calibratable. Parking sensor calibration is £184.80 inc VAT (£154 +VAT) at a centre and reversing camera calibration is £206.40 inc VAT (£172 +VAT). Send the registration and we'll tell you which of those your car has, including when the answer is neither and there's nothing to book.

Ask which sensor they mean. There's no forward camera bonded to an A110's windscreen, so replacing the glass doesn't leave a forward-facing sensor out of aim, and there's normally nothing to calibrate once the screen is in. That's the opposite of a Renault hatchback, where the camera behind the glass makes calibration the closing step of every windscreen job.

If a warning did appear after the work, find out what's actually flagging before paying for a calibration nobody can name. That's what a diagnostic scan is for, £54 inc VAT (£45 +VAT), itemised as its own line, and it reads which systems the car reports. We'll tell you if the answer is that no calibration is needed.

Yes. The A290 arrived in 2024 on the same platform as the Renault 5 E-Tech, and it carries the assistance kit you'd expect on a car of that age, starting with a forward camera behind the windscreen. Lane keeping, sign recognition and the camera-based part of emergency braking all read it. Whether yours also has a front radar or blind spot radar depends on the options it left the factory with, so the centre confirms that from your registration. Our Renault page covers the same sensor hardware in more depth.

A windscreen replacement is the usual reason an A290 reaches us, because the camera reads the road through the glass. The forward camera is one system, and it prices at £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.

An Alpine dealer prices the job from its own diary, and the range for this class of calibration is £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us, usually with an inspection charge before that. Ours is a fixed network rate, the same figure at every centre, and you see it before you commit to anything.

Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), which is the system an A290 most often needs, 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.

No. Under UK block exemption rules you can have service and repair work done away from the dealer network, calibration included, and keep the manufacturer warranty, as long as the work runs to the manufacturer's standard.

What protects you afterwards is the record. Calibration runs to full manufacturer specification, and the readings taken after the job go on the paperwork. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue. Keep it with the car's service history and any warranty question starts from written evidence.

Some will, plenty won't, and it's worth asking before the car goes in. Independent Alpine specialists tend to build their kit around the mechanical and bodywork side, because that's where most Alpine work lives. Setting a sensor's aim needs target boards, a level floor and the manufacturer's documented procedure for that system, which is separate workshop equipment.

The split that usually works: the specialist does the fitting or the bodywork, we do the calibration afterwards, and the certificate sits in the service history next to their invoice. If an A290's forward camera needs setting after the work, that's one line on the rate card: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT).
