Calibration and certificate
Workshop runs the manufacturer-spec calibration, post-scan to confirm every system is reading, and issues a signed certificate before you leave.
ADAS calibration price tiers
Pricing is fixed across our network. Same price wherever you are in the UK. Your tier is set by what work has been done, not by your postcode or your car's make.
All prices include the diagnostic scan, the calibration procedure (static, dynamic, or both as required), a post-calibration check, and a calibration certificate. No charge for diagnostic if you decide not to proceed.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Our model coverage table above lists all three: Eletre from 2023, Emira from 2021, and the Emeya from 2024. The Eletre and Emeya share the Geely-derived Driver Assistance platform with sister brands like Polestar and Volvo, which means the underlying procedure is well-understood by our network.
The Emira is the outlier. It's a smaller-volume sports car with a different ADAS stack, and the calibration procedure is more bespoke. Send the registration when you enquire and we'll confirm the exact procedure and the closest accredited workshop 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.
Our accredited workshops carry the manufacturer-spec procedure for the Eletre, Emira and Emeya and run it at network pricing. The certificate we issue documents the calibration to the standard insurers and the dealer service history both accept. For an Eletre or Emeya in particular, the underlying calibration is shared with the Geely group, which means workshops with Polestar and Volvo experience can run it without the Lotus showroom markup.
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 few degrees relative to the road, even when the glazier is careful. The system reads that drift as a fault and shuts dependent functions down within a few miles.
On the Eletre specifically, the forward sensor array is denser than the Emira's because of the larger ADAS suite the SUV carries. That means a windscreen swap on an Eletre usually flags multiple Driver Assistance warnings simultaneously, where the same job on an Emira might only flag one. The calibration is a single visit either way, and our accredited workshops run the procedure to Lotus manufacturer-spec with a certificate issued after.
The Eletre is built on the Geely SEA platform with a full Driver Assistance suite: forward radar, forward camera, surround cameras, blind-spot radars. 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 accredited workshops to Lotus manufacturer-spec, but the time and quoted price differ. Send the model and registration when you enquire so we can quote accurately rather than averaging across the two.
No. Under the Block Exemption Regulation, 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 accredited workshops 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.
