One of the most common questions drivers ask us is: “When do I need my ADAS calibrated?”
The answer is: any time a repair, replacement, or adjustment could affect the alignment of sensors and cameras.
Here are the most common situations:
- Windscreen replacement: The forward-facing camera behind the glass must be recalibrated.
- Collision repair: Even a small bump can knock radars out of position.
- Suspension or wheel alignment work: Changes to ride height or geometry affect how cameras read the road.
- Bumper or grille replacement: Many radars are hidden behind plastic bumper covers.
- Sensor/module replacement: A new part must be electronically coded and calibrated to the car.
Skipping calibration may mean your lane assist, blind spot monitor, or emergency braking won’t work as intended.
At Safe Drive Group, we ensure every calibration is completed to manufacturer standards, giving you the confidence that your vehicle’s safety systems are ready to protect you.
