How calibration works

Send your details
Quick form, about 60 seconds. Your registration, what's been done or what's wrong, and how to reach you.

We match you to a service centre
We route your enquiry to the nearest service centre set up for your make. They confirm the itemised quote and the appointment with you direct, in writing, before anything is booked.

Calibration and certificate
The centre runs the manufacturer-spec calibration and issues your certificate on completion. Any diagnostic scan the job needs is itemised on the quote, never folded in silently.
Bentley calibration prices
Network rates, the same at every service centre, whichever Bentley is on the ramp. 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.
Related ADAS warnings we cover
Bentley is a Volkswagen Group marque. The Continental GT and Flying Spur share their underpinnings with the Porsche Panamera, and the Bentayga with the Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg, so the sensors sit in familiar places and the calibration procedures belong to the same families. Four warnings written up on group models, each with its own walkthrough.

Pre sense fault
Pre-sense braking is part of Bentley's Touring Specification too. What the warning covers, how the front and rear variants differ, and what each calibration costs.
Bentley models and the driver assistance they carry
Bentley put most of this inside the Touring and City Specification packs, so two cars of the same model and year can carry different sensors. Earlier Continentals and Flying Spurs are case by case. Send the registration and we'll confirm yours.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on how the car was ordered, which catches most Bentley owners out. Bentley sold adaptive cruise, lane assist, the head-up display and night vision inside the Touring Specification, and the top view camera, park assist, traffic sign recognition and pedestrian warning inside the City Specification. On the current Continental GT the City pack is standard on every car and the Touring pack is standard on Azure and Mulliner. On a 2018 to 2024 car both were options, so the order sheet decides what there is to calibrate.
The prices don't move with the badge. Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT). Front radar is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), blind spot radars are £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) and the top view camera is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT). Parking sensors are £184.80 inc VAT (£154 +VAT) and the reversing camera is £206.40 inc VAT (£172 +VAT). Night vision and the head-up display are the exceptions. It sits outside the published rate card, so the centre prices that one in your written quote. Send the registration and we'll tell you which of these your car actually has before you pay for any of them.
Because a dealer's labour rate is set by the badge over the door, and ours isn't. A front camera on a Bentayga is aimed to its own manufacturer-specified targets, on the same level floor, to the same tolerances as any other car, and it sits on the same line of the same rate card. For ADAS work the dealer range is £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us.
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 don't pay for is the showroom.
If there's a forward camera behind the glass, it has to be re-aimed once the screen comes out. On a Flying Spur whether there is one depends on how the car was ordered: Bentley's launch material lists Traffic Assist and City Assist as standard from 2019, while its own customer brochure puts lane assist in the optional Touring Specification. The scan settles it before anything is booked, and where the camera is there it is part of that set. On a 2018 to 2024 Continental GT it comes back to the order sheet, because Active Lane Assist sat in the Touring Specification and traffic sign recognition in the City Specification. Ordered without either, there may be nothing behind the glass to aim.
Look at what the glass fitter wrote down before you assume it was handled. Replacing the screen and calibrating the camera are two separate jobs, and plenty of fitters only do the first. At a centre the front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT). If the camera was replaced rather than refitted, it also needs coding to your car, which is £229.20 inc VAT (£191 +VAT).
Read the car before you guess. Front bumper work sits directly over the front radar and the parking sensors, and on a car with the City Specification, part of the surround-view camera set. Towbar wiring goes in behind the rear bumper, next to the rear parking sensors and the blind spot radars. A diagnostic scan is £54 inc VAT (£45 +VAT) and shows which of those are actually flagging, so you don't pay to calibrate something the repair never touched.
After that each system is its own line. Re-aiming the front radar is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT). A radar that was replaced rather than refitted needs coding to the car as well, at £232.80 inc VAT (£194 +VAT). Parking sensors are £184.80 inc VAT (£154 +VAT) and blind spot radars are £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT). Where several need doing in one visit, the dearest is full price and every other system is 35% off at a centre. Scans stay outside that discount.
Night vision runs on its own infrared camera at the front of the car, and has nothing to do with the forward camera behind the glass. Bentley sold it inside the Touring Specification on the Continental GT, the Flying Spur and the Bentayga, so it's on some cars and not others; the original order or the build spec settles which.
It isn't on the published rate card, so we don't put a figure against it here. Say it's fitted when you send the registration, along with what the repair touched, and the centre confirms in writing which calibrations your car needs and what each one costs. Where the same front-end work has moved the radar, that part is straightforward: front radar calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT).
No. UK block exemption rules let an independent workshop carry out the calibration without affecting a Bentley warranty, provided the work follows Bentley's documented procedure and meets the manufacturer's specification. That is the standard our centres work to.
What protects you afterwards is the record. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue. That certificate names the systems calibrated and the readings taken when the job finished, and it files alongside the dealer stamps in the car's history. Tell us at enquiry if the car sits on an extended warranty or an approved-used scheme, and the centre agrees the paperwork format with you in writing first.
