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.
Ford calibration prices
Network rates, the same at every service centre, whichever Ford 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 pre-scan, it's £54 inc VAT (£45 +VAT), itemised separately. It reads available fault information; finding the cause may require further investigation. A post-scan is a separate operation.
- 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).
- Replacement configuration and calibration are different operations. The work required depends on the vehicle and what the installer has already completed. Configuration prices do not include supplying or fitting a replacement part, or an automatic calibration bundle.
- Unsuccessful work, further investigation or a return visit may carry charges, including at a service centre. The appointment terms and written quote set out the work and applicable charges before booking.
- Mobile calibration is available for garages and bodyshops with workshop conditions. Ask us.

Frequently asked questions
A remaining warning needs diagnosis; new hardware does not establish whether installation, coding, calibration or another fault is responsible. Supply the repair invoice and any scan or calibration reports. Our Ford Pre-Collision Assist warning guide separates blocked-sensor wording from a system fault and explains what to record before booking.
If the confirmed work is basic calibration, a front camera is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), and front radar is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT). Replacement-module coding, any required diagnosis and parts are separate from those calibration rates. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Not always, but often. A kerb strike hard enough to need a tyre replacement and wheel alignment usually also affects the steering geometry, and the steering angle sensor on the Puma feeds the lane keeping calculation. If the angle sensor's reference drifts, Lane Keep Assist behaves erratically even though the front camera and radar are still physically aimed correctly.
The honest answer is that wheel alignment alone doesn't trigger ADAS calibration automatically, but the underlying impact that prompted the alignment often does. Worth booking a diagnostic check rather than assuming either way. If the readings come back in spec, the workshop tells you, and nothing is charged for a calibration that didn't run. The diagnostic scan is itemised on the quote either way.
The procedure is the same family but the rig setup differs because of the van's height and length. The Transit Custom carries the forward camera and radar in similar locations to the Focus, but the calibration targets need positioning further forward to account for the van's longer wheelbase and the rig needs to handle the higher centre line.
The typical Transit Custom triggers are windscreen replacement and front camera malfunction warnings. The job runs through the same manufacturer-spec diagnostic stack as a Focus would, just with the rig configured for commercial vehicle dimensions. The calibration completes in one session and the certificate documents the procedure used and the post-job readings. Same manufacturer-spec result, configured for the vehicle's actual geometry.
No. BlueCruise comes back the same way once the underlying camera and radar calibration completes. BlueCruise relies on the forward camera reading lane lines and the radar tracking the car ahead, both of which need calibration after a windscreen swap or front-end repair. Once those are in spec, the system re-engages on supported motorways.
The Mustang Mach-E coverage table lists windscreen swap and front-end repair as the typical triggers. Our service centres carry manufacturer-spec diagnostic equipment that covers the Mach-E and runs the documented procedure. Certificate at the end documents the calibration and the post-job readings. That record is what your dealer's service history needs.
Main dealer: £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us. Compare the itemised work in the two quotes before drawing a price comparison.
Our service centres run the documented procedure for Co-Pilot360, AEB and Lane Keep on manufacturer-spec equipment, and price per system. 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.
The certificate records the post-job readings against Ford's tolerances, the same standard a dealer issues, and sits on the car's service history. It sits alongside the bodywork record. For owners whose body shop has finished the panel work, our network can take the car straight from the body shop into calibration without going back through the franchised dealer at all.
