ADAS Calibration Pricing. From £162 Per System.
The rate card shows the network's centre prices for each listed operation. Your vehicle and diagnostic findings determine the work required, so a listed calibration price may not be the whole bill. The service partner confirms the itemised quote in writing before work starts.
- Published centre rates for calibration, replacement setup and scans.
- A diagnostic scan, when your job needs one, is priced and itemised separately. No hidden lines.
- Quote confirmed in writing before any work runs.
Prices per system, at a service centre
These are the network rates. Every price is per system, shown inc VAT with the net figure alongside. Your total is confirmed on the phone and 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.
Compare the work, not just the headline price
Two quotes may cover different operations. These details help you compare them.
What the quote covers
- The affected camera or radar system
- Calibration, replacement setup and scans itemised separately
- Any parts, fitting or further investigation
- The location and appointment arrangements
- Charges if work cannot start or complete
- Any follow-up work or return visit
What to look for
- A task relevant to your vehicle and repair
- A total showing VAT and any applicable discount
- Clear exclusions rather than an assumed repair package
- Practical arrangements suited to the required procedure
- The appointment terms before booking
- Records of work already done to avoid an incomplete history
What happens if calibration can't be carried out
A damaged sensor or mounting, an incompatible replacement, unfinished repairs or unsuitable conditions can prevent calibration. A diagnostic scan supplies fault information; further investigation may be needed to establish the cause.
An unsuccessful appointment is not automatically free or limited to the pre-scan price. Labour, investigation or return-visit charges may apply at a centre as well as on a mobile appointment. The agreed quote and appointment terms set out those charges.
Tell us about known damage, earlier attempts and outstanding repairs when you enquire. Keep the findings from any visit so the next repairer can see what was attempted and what remains.
How the work affects your quote
Examples of why the same dashboard warning can lead to different work.
New glass can require front-camera calibration under the vehicle's repair instructions, with or without a warning. The glass invoice and any previous calibration result help establish what remains.
The centre calibration rate is £162 including VAT. A pre-scan, if needed, is £54. Those are separate operations, not a compulsory package. See front-camera calibration for the service and preparation.
A scan may identify information that needs further testing; a sensor-related code does not by itself prove the sensor is faulty. Damaged parts or mounting must be dealt with before the relevant calibration can complete.
Front-radar configuration after replacement is £232.80 including VAT. Front-radar calibration is a different operation. Parts and physical fitting are not included in either rate. The quote depends on the work required and any setup the installer has already completed.
A battery event, wiring fault or another problem can produce an assistance warning. The timing of the warning is useful evidence, but not a diagnosis.
The diagnostic pre-scan price is £54 including VAT. Further fault-finding may be needed and is different work. The amount payable depends on the agreed work and appointment terms, not simply whether calibration runs.
If investigation establishes that a part must be repaired or replaced first, calibration may have to wait. A new appointment may be needed once installation and any required setup are complete.
Keep the findings and part details for the repairer. Do not buy a used unit solely because it looks identical. Investigation, unsuccessful work and a return visit may carry separate charges; the appointment terms apply even when a part is unavailable.
Several warnings after a collision do not automatically mean every sensor needs calibration. The repair history, diagnostic findings and manufacturer instructions determine the work.
The central rate card prices operations separately. Where the centre multi-system discount applies, the highest-priced system is full price and additional systems are 35% off; scans are outside that discount. Do not treat replacement configuration and calibration as an automatic discounted pair.
For an insurance-funded repair, establish the agreed work, authorisation and payment arrangements before booking. Keep the repair and calibration records together.
Booking and payment
Payment arrangements are agreed when the appointment is booked. Prices show VAT-inclusive totals with the net figures alongside.

Frequently asked questions
The payment method, recipient and timing form part of the booking arrangements. Refer to the payment instructions for your appointment; an enquiry does not commit you to a repair.
The tables show prices including VAT and the net amount alongside. For example, front-camera calibration is £162 including VAT, or £135 excluding VAT. The total depends on the operations in your quote.
Calibration is a defined operation, not a guarantee against every future warning. If a warning returns, keep the earlier findings and explain when it returned and whether any work happened in between. Rechecks, additional repairs and repeat visits are not automatically free; the terms of the booked work apply.
Use the published rate card as the starting point and include your business, location, vehicle mix and expected work in the enquiry. Trade enquiries can include workshop attendance and recurring requirements. Billing arrangements do not by themselves establish a different service scope or discount.
Attendance depends on the vehicle, procedure, equipment and site conditions. A location that suits one task may not suit another. Send the registration, work address and repair details with a mobile calibration enquiry; the listed centre price is not a mobile quote.
Windscreen supply and fitting are separate from the calibration prices shown here. The replacement and camera installation need to meet the vehicle's requirements before calibration can proceed. Include the planned fitting date and any work already completed in your enquiry.
Compare the vehicle, systems, operations, VAT and exclusions. A quote containing parts, fitting or extended diagnosis is not equivalent to a calibration-only price. Check appointment and unsuccessful-work terms too; a lower headline figure does not establish that the same work is included.
