ADAS Services in Grand Rapids, MI

What Is ADAS?

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are safety technologies that support the driver with automatic functions, such as braking, lane control, and obstacle detection. Vehicles made after 2015 commonly feature ADAS, including:

• (LKA) Lane Keep Assist
• (LDW) Lane Departure Warning
• (AEB) Automatic Emergency Braking
• (ACC) Adaptive Cruise Control
• (360°) Surround View Cameras
• (BSD) Blind Spot Detection
• Park Assist & Active Park Assist

If your vehicle has any of these systems, OEM-mandated calibration is required after specific types of service or damage.

When Are ADAS Calibrations Needed?

A calibration is REQUIRED by the manufacturer whenever a sensor’s position, angle, or mounting component is affected. Common triggers include:

• Windshield or rear glass replacement
• Front or rear collision repair
• Suspension or ride height changes
• Steering component or subframe work
• Bumper, grille, fender, mirror, or headlight replacement
• Wheel alignments
• Diagnostic trouble codes involving ADAS components

ADAS Calibration & Repair Services in Grand Rapids, MI

Every Advanced Driver Assistance System relies on precise sensor alignment. Even a small bump, glass swap, or slight wheel misalignment can send false data to the control module. Using vehicle-specific targets, factory software, and level flooring, our master-certified technicians recalibrate:

• Forward-facing cameras after windshield replacement
• Front radar modules following grille or bumper work
• Blind-spot sensors when quarter-panels or mirrors are removed
• 360° surround-view cameras after suspension or ride-height changes

All ADAS diagnostics, repairs, and calibrations are performed by our certified ADAS technician. We provide the proper documentation showing work performed to OEM specifications and what those requirements are. You will be sent a detailed digital report of the OEM requirements with essential information, and we will take pictures and proper documentation to show accurate calibration for our customers and insurance companies.

Why Proper ADAS Calibration Matters

Misaligned sensors create two serious risks. First, false positives—nuisance alarms, phantom braking, or abrupt steering corrections—raise driver stress and shorten component life. Second, false negatives may delay or disable collision-avoidance responses, increasing stopping distance and crash severity.

Studies show that correctly calibrated ADAS can reduce rear-end accidents by up to 45 percent. A quick, documented calibration preserves peak safety performance, maintains resale value, and protects you from liability if an insurer audits the repair.

When Is Calibration Required?

OEM bulletins list mandatory recalibration any time a sensor’s position, supporting bracket, or viewing angle changes. Typical triggers include:

• Windshield or back-glass replacement
• Front or rear bumper, grille, mirror, or fender repair
• Suspension, steering, or ride-height adjustments
• Wheel alignment or sub-frame removal
• Collision damage—even low-speed taps
• Diagnostic trouble codes that reference camera, radar, or yaw sensors
• Skipping this step can void warranties and expose the driver—and the shop—to negligence claims.

Is ADAS Calibration Really Necessary After A Windshield Replacement?

Yes. Most forward-facing cameras mount to the windshield; even OEM glass can shift the optical path. Automakers such as Ford, GM, Toyota, and Subaru state that a static or dynamic calibration is mandatory whenever the glass, mounting bracket, or mirror assembly is disturbed. Skipping the procedure risks false readings and disables critical safety features.

Is Calibration Really Necessary After An Alignment?

Yes, calibration is absolutely necessary after an alignment on vehicles equipped with ADAS. It is required by manufacturers to ensure safety systems function correctly, as alignment changes can affect sensor positions and accuracy. Skipping calibration may compromise ADAS performance and vehicle safety compliance.

How Long Does An ADAS Calibration Take?

ADAS calibration typically takes several hours, depending on the system and vehicle, but we aim for same-day service or guarantee a 24-hour turnaround. We offer free pickup/drop-off valet service for repair and body shops.

Is ADAS Calibration Needed After a Collision?

Yes, ADAS calibration is needed after a collision, even if the damage appears minor. Impact can shift sensors or cameras, affecting system accuracy. Proper calibration ensures all safety features function correctly and that the vehicle meets the manufacturer's safety and performance standards.
