Maserati ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.

If the car has a forward camera, yes. On a Ghibli, Quattroporte, Levante, Grecale, current GranTurismo or GranCabrio with the driver assistance pack, and on the MC20, the camera sits behind the interior rear-view mirror and looks out through the glass. Lane keeping, forward collision warning and traffic sign assist all read from it. Change the screen and the camera goes back on a new piece of glass at a new angle, and the aim it was set to no longer matches what it sees.

Cars without the pack are the ones worth checking first. A pre-2017 Ghibli or Quattroporte, a GranTurismo from the 2007 to 2019 run or a GranCabrio of the same era is very unlikely to carry a forward camera, and where there isn't one a screen swap creates no calibration. If a glass invoice has an ADAS line on it, ask which sensor that line is for before you pay it. Where the camera is there, front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre. If the camera itself was renewed with the screen, the new camera is coded to the car first, £229.20 inc VAT (£191 +VAT), and the front camera calibration is billed alongside it at 35% off at a centre.

The forward radar on a Levante, Ghibli, Quattroporte or Grecale sits in the centre of the front grille, directly behind the trident. It lives in the bodywork rather than the engine bay, so a bumper off and back on, a grille change or a knock that never broke anything visible is enough to move where it points. Adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning both read from that radar, which is why they go quiet together rather than one at a time.

Find out which module is complaining before booking a calibration. That's what a diagnostic scan does, £54 inc VAT (£45 +VAT), on its own line. If it comes back on the front radar, calibrating it is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre. Where the radar was replaced rather than knocked out of true, the new unit is coded to the car first, £232.80 inc VAT (£194 +VAT), and the front radar calibration is billed alongside it at 35% off at a centre.

That message means the radar is not getting a clean return, and mud, snow or ice across the trident is the everyday cause. When it keeps appearing on dry, clear days it usually isn't dirt. The two things that put it there instead are aim and obstruction: front-end work that shifted the sensor, or something sitting in front of it that wasn't there when the car left the factory. Stick-on badges, a replacement grille from an aftermarket supplier and even clear protective film across the trident all sit in the beam.

Work through the obstruction first because it costs nothing. If the sensor is clear and the message keeps coming back, the aim is the suspect and clearing the code won't move it. Front radar calibration at a centre is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT). Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.

Often not, and this is the single most useful thing to establish before you pay anyone. Driver assistance on these cars was an option pack, not standard kit, and the pack that brings adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist and blind spot assist reached the Ghibli and Quattroporte with the 2017 model year. Cars built before that were commonly delivered with park sensors, a reversing camera and a cruise control that just holds a speed. The Levante was offered with the pack from its 2016 launch, and the Grecale carries the current version of it.

Because it was optional, two cars of the same model and the same year can be completely different jobs. The registration answers it: we come back with the list of what is actually on your car, then price only those systems. Front camera calibration starts at £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) and the full rate card is on this page.

There are two radar sensors inside the rear bumper fascia on cars specified with blind spot assist, one in each corner, each covering a set zone that assumes the bumper skin is exactly where the factory left it. A Grecale with the wider pack carries four, front fascia as well as rear. They are behind painted plastic, so a bumper refitted slightly out of true, a heavy respray over the sensor area or a knock that only cracked the skin is enough to move the detection zone. It shows up as a light that fires at empty lanes or misses the car alongside you.

The park sensors in the same bumper are their own separate job and a repaint over them causes its own trouble. Setting the blind spot radars comes to £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), and the park sensors in the same bumper £184.80 inc VAT (£154 +VAT). Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue.

Three different answers, and the year matters more than the name. The GranTurismo built from 2007 to 2019 and the GranCabrio from 2010 to 2019 had park sensors as an option and a reversing camera, with nothing on the equipment list looking ahead and no forward radar behind the grille to aim. On one of those a new windscreen or a repaired front end does not normally create an ADAS calibration, so query any quote that says it does. Park sensors come to £184.80 inc VAT (£154 +VAT) and, on the last cars that got Maserati's integrated rear camera in the 2018 update, that camera at £206.40 inc VAT (£172 +VAT). Most of the run has neither, and then there is nothing to book.

The GranTurismo relaunched in 2023 and the GranCabrio that followed it in 2024 are a different car wearing an old name, with adaptive cruise control, active lane management, emergency lane keeping, blind spot assist, active driving assist and traffic sign assist available. The MC20 and the Cielo sit between the two: a forward camera on the windscreen behind the mirror running forward collision warning and traffic sign assist, two blind spot radars in the rear bumper fascia, and cruise control that holds a speed rather than a gap. On an MC20 the front camera is the line that matters, £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT).

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.

Those rates are the same at every centre and do not move with your postcode or with the badge on the bonnet. You are charged for the systems your car carries, which on a Maserati is frequently one line rather than four, because so much of this hardware was optional. The dealer route for the same class of work comes back at £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us, and the Maserati network in the UK is small enough that the nearest franchise may be a long way from you. A diagnostic scan, when your job needs one, is priced and itemised separately.

No. Under UK block exemption rules an independent workshop is allowed to do the servicing, the repairs and the calibration without your factory cover lapsing, provided the work is done to the manufacturer's standard. That covers a Grecale still inside its factory cover just as it covers a Levante on an extended policy.

What matters later is the paperwork, and the people who ask for it are usually an insurer or the body shop that did the repair. Calibration runs to full manufacturer specification. The readings taken at the end are logged against your registration and the certificate stays with the car. File it with the service history. A question a year from now then starts from a document rather than somebody's recollection.
