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.
Lotus calibration prices
Network rates, the same at every service centre, whichever Lotus 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
After a part was replaced (includes coding 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).
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Our model coverage table above lists all three: Eletre from 2023, Emira from 2022, and the Emeya from 2024. The Eletre and Emeya sit on Lotus's Electric Premium Architecture, a Geely-group EV platform, and carry the full Driver Assistance suite.
The Emira is the outlier. It's a smaller-volume sports car with a different ADAS stack, so which systems need calibrating differs from the EVs. Send the registration when you enquire and we'll confirm the exact procedure and the closest service centre with Lotus manufacturer-spec capability before booking.
Because the Lotus dealer network in the UK is small and the brand sits in ultra-luxury pricing. Each dealer carries a low volume of ADAS jobs, which spreads the cost of the manufacturer tooling, the trained technician and the training-pipeline overhead across a smaller number of cars. The hourly rate goes up to compensate. Dealer quotes customers have shown us for ADAS work run £300 to £900.
Our service centres carry the manufacturer-spec procedure for the Eletre, Emira and Emeya 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. The certificate records the post-job readings against Lotus's tolerances, the same standard a dealer issues, and sits on the car's service history. For an Eletre or Emeya, the centre confirms the documented Lotus procedure from your registration before anything is booked.
The forward-facing camera that feeds Lotus Driver Assistance is mounted to the windscreen. Removing and refitting the screen shifts the camera's aim by a fraction of a degree relative to the road, even when the glazier is careful. The system reads that drift as a fault and pulls dependent functions offline.
The Eletre carries a larger ADAS suite than the Emira, so a windscreen swap on an Eletre can flag more than one Driver Assistance warning at once. The calibration is a single visit either way, and our service centres run the procedure to Lotus manufacturer-spec with a certificate issued after. A front camera calibration like this is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT).
The Eletre is built on Lotus's Electric Premium Architecture, a Geely-group EV platform, with a full Driver Assistance suite: forward radar, forward camera, surround cameras and blind-spot radars, plus lidar on some specs. After windscreen or front-end work, the procedure runs across multiple modules and takes longer to complete than a single-system reset.
The Emira is a smaller mid-engine sports car with a leaner ADAS stack. Its Driver Assistance procedure focuses on the forward camera and a smaller set of supporting sensors. The Emira's typical trigger is front-end repair or windscreen swap rather than the wider scenarios that affect the Eletre.
Both procedures are run by our service centres to Lotus manufacturer-spec, and the per-system rate is the same for both: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) for the front camera, with front radar matching it. What differs is which systems your car carries and needs doing. Send the model and registration when you enquire and your written quote lists exactly that.
No. Under UK block exemption rules, an independent workshop can carry out the calibration without affecting your manufacturer warranty, as long as the workshop follows Lotus's documented procedure and uses compatible equipment. That applies to the Eletre's full Driver Assistance suite and to the Emira's leaner stack.
Our service centres run the Lotus manufacturer-spec procedure and issue a certificate documenting what was done. That certificate sits alongside any Lotus dealer records on the car's service history and is the document insurers and future Lotus servicing both reference. If you do go back to the Lotus dealer for warranty work later, the calibration record is there in writing.
