How calibration works

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.
Subaru calibration prices
Network rates, the same at every service centre, whichever Subaru 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 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).
- A replaced camera or radar is coded to the vehicle and then calibrated, so a replacement job is the coding line above plus the calibration for that system, with the multi-system discount applied at a centre. Your written quote itemises both.
- 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
Because EyeSight has no front radar to fall back on. The EyeSight suite runs from a stereo camera pair mounted at the top of the windscreen, behind the rear-view mirror. Lifting the windscreen lifts those cameras out of factory aim. Refitting the windscreen, even perfectly, puts them back close enough but not exact.
So the dashboard lights the whole suite at once: Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise, Lane Keep Assist. Plenty of glass companies fit the screen and leave the recalibration to someone else, which is why the warning tends to appear on the drive home. There's no software-only fix; the stereo calibration restores both cameras to the same baseline, and the suite comes back together. On the rate card the job is front camera calibration: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.
Same sensor source. Both systems read the road through the EyeSight stereo cameras on an XV, Forester, Outback or Crosstrek. When the pair drifts out of alignment, everything that reads through it flags at once. A typical case looks like this: a front-end knock or a bumper repair, no visible damage, then lane assist and Pre-Collision Braking warnings together on the next drive.
The fix isn't clearing the codes, it's recalibrating the stereo pair so both cameras read the road identically again. Calibration runs to full manufacturer specification, in a controlled bay, with a certificate on completion; our EyeSight fault page has the full walkthrough. The job is one front camera calibration on the rate card: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.
Yes, both. The Solterra shares its platform with Toyota's bZ4X, so its camera hardware differs from the stereo EyeSight setup on the rest of the range; we confirm the exact procedure against your build data when you send the registration. If you're running a grey-import Subaru that isn't in the UK line-up, send the registration and we confirm the procedure from build data. Windscreen replacement is the dominant trigger. If your car turns out not to carry EyeSight at all, we'll say so before booking rather than send you for a procedure you don't need. Either way the pricing is per system: front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.
Yes, and UK block exemption rules protect your warranty position. An independent workshop can carry out EyeSight calibration without affecting Subaru warranty cover, provided the work follows Subaru's documented procedure, which is exactly what our service centres run.
The certificate records the post-job readings against Subaru's tolerances, the same standard a dealer issues, and sits on the car's service history, so your position with Subaru is protected if anything ADAS-related comes up later. The idea that only Subaru can calibrate EyeSight is dealer positioning, not a technical requirement. The job itself is front camera calibration: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.
Dealer quotes customers have shown us for ADAS work run £300 to £900, and few of those owners saw the number before the car went in; it followed the inspection. EyeSight also books more dealer bay time than most single-camera makes, because calibrating a stereo pair means verifying both cameras read the road identically.
The procedure is the same documented Subaru workflow wherever it runs. Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), blind spot radar is the same rate, 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. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue.
