Firefly ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.
Driver-assist warning on a Firefly, and a brand so new to the UK that there's no dealer routine to lean on yet. You pay per system calibrated, at the same network rate wherever you are in the UK. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
- Calibration runs to full manufacturer specification to manufacturer spec.
- A diagnostic scan, when your job needs one, is priced and itemised separately.
- Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue.

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.
Firefly calibration prices
Network rates, the same at every service centre, whichever Firefly 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.
Firefly models we cover
Firefly's official UK launch was announced for 2026, so early cars here are imports or first UK deliveries. Coverage is case-by-case. Send your registration to confirm.
Frequently asked questions
Firefly is Nio's small-EV brand. The first model, also called Firefly, went on sale in Europe in 2025, and the company has announced a UK launch for 2026 with right-hand-drive production already running.
That makes any Firefly in the UK a very early car, and there's no established dealer routine for calibration work here yet. Our service centres take them case-by-case: send the registration when you enquire and the centre confirms the exact sensor set and the documented procedure for your build before anything is booked.
Because the brand is only just arriving in the UK, there's no dealer network with a published rate for this work yet. Dealer quotes customers have shown us for ADAS work run £300 to £900.
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. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked, and the certificate after the job sits on the car's service history.
Yes, if the work disturbed the forward sensors. Like most current EVs, the Firefly reads the road through a forward camera at the windscreen plus supporting sensors around the nose, and bumper-off work can shift a sensor's reference aim even when the refit looks perfect.
The coverage table above lists bumper repair and windscreen swap as the typical triggers, and both run through the same calibration session. The centre confirms your car's exact sensor set from the registration, runs the documented procedure, and the certificate at the end records what was realigned and the readings that came back.
The calibration procedure for the forward sensors is the same as on any other car: camera and supporting sensors aimed against target boards on the rig. The EV powertrain doesn't change the sensor architecture.
What the workshop adds for an EV is a 12V battery maintainer during the calibration session. Calibrations can run 90 minutes to three hours and the 12V auxiliary will drop voltage during a long diagnostic session, which can re-trigger fault codes and force a restart. Our network puts every EV on a maintainer as standard. Procedure runs cleanly, certificate gets issued, and the systems are back online before the car leaves the centre.
Yes. Under UK block exemption rules, an independent workshop can carry out the calibration without affecting your warranty, provided they follow the manufacturer's documented procedure and use compatible diagnostic equipment.
Our service centres do both. The certificate at the end documents which procedure was followed, what equipment was used and the post-job readings. That record sits on the car's service history as evidence the calibration matches manufacturer spec, which is what protects you with the brand and with insurers if there's a future claim.
