Driver assistance

Aligning camera and radar correctly

After some repairs, camera and radar look slightly off target. Then lane keeping assist, emergency braking and adaptive cruise control need to be recalibrated.

After this work, calibration is needed

Windshield

After a windshield replacement

The front camera sits behind the windshield. Even a slightly different mounting position changes its angle of view.

Suspension

After a wheel alignment

If the toe changes, the direction the car points when driving straight changes too. The camera has to be readjusted to it.

Bumper

After work on the front

On many cars, the radar sits behind the bumper. If the bumper is removed, the sensor can shift.

Body damage

After the repair

Even a small parking bump can shift sensors without anything visible from the outside.

Two degrees off is too much

If the camera looks two degrees off, it detects an obstacle later. In everyday driving you do not notice. It only shows when the system really has to brake.

That is why manufacturers require calibration after this kind of work.

Why with us

Everything in one place

Many workshops of our size send you to another shop for this. That means a second appointment and a second trip. With us, the car stays in the workshop.

We calibrate with the Bosch DAS 3000, static and dynamic, for many car brands. We can tell you on the phone whether your car is covered.
