Can you calibrate at my shop or does it have to be in a bay?

Many calibrations can be completed mobile at your shop. Static procedures that require a level floor, controlled lighting and exact target distances are done in our Garland bay — we'll tell you which one your vehicle needs before it's scheduled.

What can stop a calibration from completing?

Bad wheel alignment or thrust angle, incorrect ride height, wrong tire size, low fuel affecting attitude, a damaged bracket, a dirty or aftermarket windshield with the wrong optical properties, or an unrepaired fault in the module. These get identified and reported rather than forced through.

Do I need calibration after a windshield replacement?

If the vehicle has a camera mounted to the windshield or its bracket, yes. Windshield camera calibration is required by the manufacturer once the glass is replaced.

How we do it

ADAS calibration is the process of restoring a camera, radar or sensor to the exact aim and reference the manufacturer specified, then confirming the module accepts it. It is not an alignment and it is not a code clear — a system can read as fault-free while aiming several degrees off.

We work from the published procedure for that exact year, make and model. That means the specified target, at the specified distance and height, on a level floor, with ride height, tire pressure, fuel level and thrust angle verified first. Dynamic procedures are driven at the specified speed on suitable road, not simulated.

Systems we calibrate include forward-facing cameras (lane departure warning, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking), front and rear radar (adaptive cruise, cross-traffic alert), blind spot monitoring modules, and around-view / surround camera systems.

What's included

Forward camera calibration (LDW, AEB, LKA)
Front and rear radar calibration
Blind spot monitoring and around-view sensors
Static targets and dynamic road procedures
OEM target setup, ride-height and thrust-angle verification

Turnaround

Typically 1–2 hours per system; half a day for multi-system or static-plus-dynamic vehicles.

Static and dynamic ADAS calibration

Static ADAS calibration is performed with the vehicle stationary in a controlled space, using the manufacturer's target set at an exact distance, height and offset from the vehicle's centreline and thrust line. It needs a level floor and predictable lighting, which is why we perform static work in our Garland bay rather than on a shop apron.

Dynamic ADAS calibration is performed by driving the vehicle at a specified speed on suitable road while the module relearns its reference. Many vehicles require a static procedure followed by a dynamic one, in that order. The manufacturer's procedure decides which applies — not convenience.

Camera calibration and radar calibration

Camera calibration covers the forward-facing camera behind the windshield that drives lane departure warning, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking, along with mirror-mounted and surround-view cameras. Windshield camera calibration is required whenever the glass is replaced, because the camera's position and angle relative to the road change with the new glass and bracket.

Radar calibration covers front radar behind the grille or bumper that feeds adaptive cruise and collision mitigation, and rear radar that feeds blind spot calibration and cross-traffic alert. Radar is disturbed by bumper removal, grille work and any impact to the mounting area, so collision repair calibration almost always includes it.

Collision repair calibration and repair documentation

After collision repair, calibration restores the affected sensors to the manufacturer's specified aim and reference. Bumper removal and reinstallation, quarter panel repair, mirror replacement, alignment corrections and suspension work all move or reference ADAS sensors. Each affected system needs recalibration and each needs to be documented.

Every job includes a pre-repair scan recording what the vehicle arrived with, a post-repair scan confirming systems are clear, and calibration documentation per system — printable and ready for the repair file, the vehicle owner or the insurer.

Mobile ADAS calibration across Dallas-Fort Worth

If you are searching for ADAS calibration near you in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, both options exist: mobile service at your shop for procedures that can be completed correctly on site, and in-shop calibration at our Garland facility at 3002 Edgewood Dr Ste 7 for static procedures that require controlled conditions.

We tell you which one a vehicle needs before it is scheduled, so a static procedure is never approximated in a parking lot to save a trip.

Typically needed after

Windshield replacement
Collision repair or bumper R&I
Front-end alignment or suspension work
Camera, radar or sensor replacement
