ADAS Calibration
Your vehicle's safety systems rely on precise sensor alignment. We calibrate cameras, radar, and sensors back to manufacturer specifications using state-of-the-art equipment right here in Waukegan.
Why Precision Matters
Your car may feel fine to drive, but misaligned sensors can compromise safety.
Modern vehicles use ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) — cameras, radar, and sensors that enable features like automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. These systems depend on angles measured in fractions of a millimeter.
Even a slight misalignment can cause your vehicle to calculate distances incorrectly. A camera that's off by just a few degrees might think a car is farther away than it actually is — delaying braking when you need it most.
After windshield replacement, collision repair, suspension work, or wheel alignment, these sensors need to be recalibrated to ensure they're reading the road accurately.
Systems That Rely On Calibration
A single calibration procedure can involve multiple safety systems working together.
Forward-Facing Cameras
Read lane markings, traffic signs, and detect objects ahead.
Radar Sensors
Measure distance and closing speed to vehicles ahead.
Lane Departure Warning
Alerts you when the vehicle drifts out of its lane.
Lane Keeping Assist
Gently steers the vehicle back into its lane.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Adjusts speed automatically to maintain safe following distance.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Applies brakes when a forward collision is detected.
Blind Spot Monitoring
Watches areas your mirrors can't fully cover.
Not every vehicle uses the same calibration procedure. Depending on your manufacturer, your car may require static targets, dynamic road-learning scans, or a combination of both.
When Does Your Vehicle Need Calibration?
Any of these events can knock your sensors out of alignment.
Windshield Replacement
The forward camera is mounted to the windshield — replacement requires recalibration.
Collision or Accident
Impacts can shift cameras, radar units, and sensor mounting points.
Suspension Repair
Changes to ride height affect the angle your sensors read from.
Wheel Alignment
For many vehicles, alignment is a required part of the calibration process.
Sensor Replacement
New cameras, radar units, or modules need to be taught their position.
Warning Lights
A lane-assist or camera warning light indicates a system needs attention.
Connected Calibrations
