What Is ADAS Calibration and Why It Matters
Safety systems require precision. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) include features like lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control that rely on perfectly aligned cameras and sensors. When these components are misaligned—even slightly—they can’t properly detect obstacles, potentially compromising your safety.
ADAS calibration is the process our specialized technicians use to guarantee that these critical safety systems function correctly. We perform this essential service after windshield replacements, collision repairs, suspension work, or wheel alignments, as these services can disrupt sensor positioning. Our technicians use manufacturer-specific equipment to restore factory specifications for each system.
At Euro Auto Tech & Smog, we recognize that proper ADAS calibration isn’t just about vehicle performance—it’s about protecting you and your passengers on San Diego’s roads.

The Euro Auto Tech & Smog ADAS Calibration Process
Precision defines our thorough ADAS calibration process at Euro Auto Tech & Smog. We begin with a detailed pre-calibration scan to identify all system components requiring adjustment. Our certified technicians then prepare the vehicle in our specially-designed calibration bay with controlled lighting and perfectly level surfaces.
For windshield replacements or auto glass services, we guarantee immediate ADAS calibrations to maintain your vehicle’s safety systems. Using manufacturer-specific targets and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, we calibrate each sensor to exact specifications. This includes forward-facing cameras, radar sensors, and 360° environmental monitoring systems.
We complete each calibration with a post-service verification scan and road test to confirm that all ADAS functions operate correctly. Our documentation provides proof of proper calibration for insurance and warranty purposes.

When Your Vehicle Needs ADAS Calibration Services
While modern vehicles increasingly rely on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), knowing when these systems require professional calibration is essential for maintaining their effectiveness. Your vehicle needs ADAS calibration after windshield replacement, collision repairs, suspension modifications, or bumper repairs—essentially whenever the components’ housing sensors are disturbed.
You’ll also need calibration following alignment services or if you notice warning lights on your dashboard. Many manufacturers recommend regular ADAS calibration during routine maintenance to guarantee peak performance. If your vehicle exhibits erratic behavior like unexpected braking or lane departure warnings when unnecessary, it’s time to visit us. Euro Auto Tech & Smog uses manufacturer-specific equipment to restore your ADAS systems to factory specifications, assuring they protect you as designed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Under the Hood: Your Questions Answered
At our shop, a typical ADAS calibration appointment takes between 1 and 3 hours, depending on your vehicle’s specific requirements. This timeframe accounts for our thorough calibration process using advanced diagnostic equipment. The duration varies based on how many systems need calibration and your vehicle’s make and model. We prioritize accuracy over speed to guarantee your safety systems function correctly, which is why we don’t rush this critical service.
Yes, most insurance policies cover ADAS calibrations when they’re required after windshield replacements or collision repairs. We find that extensive and collision coverage typically includes these services as part of the restoration process. However, coverage details vary by insurer and policy specifics. We always recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to verify your coverage before scheduling service. For routine maintenance calibrations, you’ll likely need to pay out-of-pocket.
We strongly advise against driving your vehicle before necessary ADAS calibration. Uncalibrated advanced driver assistance systems can provide inaccurate warnings or perform incorrectly during critical moments. This creates significant safety risks for you and others on the road. Features like lane assist, automatic braking, and collision warnings may malfunction without proper calibration. For your safety, it’s best to have your vehicle towed to our facility for immediate calibration after any service affecting these systems.
No, all vehicle makes don’t require the same calibration procedures. Each manufacturer has specific ADAS calibration protocols based on their unique technology. We use different tools and methods for European models versus domestic vehicles. Some systems need static calibration in controlled environments, while others require dynamic calibration during test drives. Camera positions, radar systems, and sensor types vary considerably between makes, requiring manufacturer-specific equipment and techniques for proper calibration.
If ADAS systems remain uncalibrated after repairs, they can malfunction seriously. We’ve seen uncalibrated systems give false warnings, fail to detect obstacles, or improperly engage safety features like automatic braking. This creates significant safety risks, potentially causing accidents. Insurance companies may also deny claims related to malfunctioning ADAS systems. Additionally, manufacturer warranties might be voided. Professional recalibration is essential following any repairs affecting these systems to guarantee your safety and proper vehicle function.
