Step 1: Diagnostic Scanning We start with a full system scan to identify which modules need calibration. Step 2: Static Calibration Using targets, lasers, and OEM equipment, we align radars and cameras inside our workshop or via mobile service. Step 3: Dynamic Calibration Some vehicles require on-road calibration. Our technicians drive under specific conditions until […]

Beyond the Surface After a crash, repairers focus on bodywork, paint, and parts. But what about the hidden technology? ADAS sensors live in: Even a small impact can shift them. Calibration as the Final Step At Safe Drive Group, calibration is the last quality check in accident repair. It ensures that once the car looks

More Than Just Glass Many windscreen cameras are mounted behind the glass. Even a slight shift during replacement can throw off calibration. What Happens If You Skip It A perfectly installed windscreen doesn’t mean the system works — it must be recalibrated. Safe Drive Group’s Process After a windscreen replacement, we:

Insurance and Safety Go Hand in Hand When insurers approve accident repairs, they want proof the car is safe before returning it to the customer. That’s where ADAS calibration comes in. Why Insurers Require Calibration Proof for Peace of Mind At Safe Drive Group, we supply pre- and post-scan calibration reports directly to insurers and

Why It’s Not Always Obvious Unlike a flat tyre or dead battery, ADAS issues aren’t always visible. Your car may feel fine, but the safety systems could be out of alignment. Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore Why Calibration Is the Solution Most of these problems don’t require replacing expensive parts — just recalibration. At Safe Drive

Beyond Mechanics: The Role of an ADAS Technician An ADAS technician isn’t just a mechanic — they’re part electrician, part IT specialist, and part problem-solver. Their job is to ensure that the cameras, radars, and sensors in modern vehicles function flawlessly. A Typical Day Includes: Skills Required Why Their Work Matters Every calibration performed correctly

The Financial Side of Safety Calibration is often viewed as a safety measure, but it’s also a smart financial decision. Correct calibration prevents costly mistakes and saves you money in ways you might not expect. Preventing Secondary Accidents Without calibration, your ADAS may not respond correctly.

ADAS: From Luxury to Everyday Not long ago, ADAS features like blind spot monitoring and autonomous braking were exclusive to luxury vehicles. Today, they’re standard in cars like the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30, and even entry-level SUVs. By 2030, it’s estimated that 90% of new cars sold in Australia will include ADAS. What This Means

Why Two Types of Calibration Exist Not all ADAS calibrations are the same. Some systems require adjustment in a controlled environment, while others need real-world driving conditions. To meet these demands, manufacturers specify two main types of calibration: static and dynamic. Static Calibration: Precision in the Workshop Static calibration is performed in a dedicated workspace
