Aston Martin ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.

Yes. The DBX (2020 onward) uses manufacturer-spec ADAS hardware that the dealer network handles through their factory tooling, but the actual calibration procedure is mechanical: static aim of the forward radar and camera to documented distances, with the car level and the target board set to spec.

Our network runs the procedure with manufacturer-compatible equipment, then issues a certificate. Front radar and front camera each run £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre. Your quote from us is confirmed the same or next working day, and appointments are often within the week, depending on centre availability. Same manufacturer-spec result, and the certificate sits on the car's service history.

Because Aston Martin's ultra-luxury labour rate runs higher than the rest of the premium market, and the dealer treats every ADAS job as bespoke (inspection first, quote second). Dealer quotes customers have shown us for ADAS work run £300 to £900. The ultra-luxury franchises sit at the top of that range, because the labour rate, the diagnostic subscription overhead and a small UK service network where capacity itself is a cost all land on the same invoice.

Our network prices per system instead. 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. Same procedure, no luxury markup on the labour, and the itemised total in writing before anything is booked.

Same procedure, different access. The DB12 (2023 onward) and the current Vantage (2024 onward) share Aston's newer electronic architecture, with the forward camera at the windscreen and the radar behind the front grille area, so front-end repair and windscreen swap are the typical triggers. The DBX adds bumper repair and post-collision to the trigger list because the SUV's bumper takes more knocks.

All three calibrate through the same manufacturer-spec procedure. Our network handles them in the same workshop with the calibration board positioned to Aston's documented distances. One booking, one certificate, regardless of which model. The rate is per system: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) for the front camera, the same for the front radar. Earlier Vantage and DB11 builds carry far less driver-assist hardware, so if yours is pre-2023, send the registration and we'll confirm what's actually fitted before quoting.

Calibration after accident damage typically routes through insurance rather than warranty. If the trigger is a front-end repair from a collision, calibration is usually handled inside the body shop's repair bill. Worth confirming it's on the estimate when you authorise the repair.

When the trigger is a windscreen swap, calibration is often part of the same glass claim. Check your policy before paying separately. The Aston warranty itself isn't affected by using an independent calibration workshop, provided the workshop follows the documented procedure and uses compatible equipment, which our network does.

The centre confirms timing when they take the booking and sizes the slot to the job. The DBX sits on the calibration floor, tyre pressures are checked and set to spec, the front is squared to the target board, and the static aim procedure runs through manufacturer-compatible diagnostic tooling.

If the trigger was post-collision and multiple sensors were touched (front radar, camera, parking sensors), the scope grows with it. So does the bill, per system: front radar or camera at £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), parking sensors at £184.80 inc VAT (£154 +VAT). Our network confirms the scope before booking so the slot is sized right. One arrival, one certificate, no return visit.
