Most common job

Windscreen camera calibration

The camera behind your windscreen runs lane assist, sign recognition, auto high beam and often emergency braking. After a new screen, a camera or bracket change, or front-end work, it needs aiming again to the manufacturer's procedure.

Front radar calibration (adaptive cruise & emergency braking)

The radar behind the badge or bumper runs adaptive cruise and emergency braking. Even a light knock, or bumper and grille work, can move its aim. We diagnose first, then calibrate to the manufacturer's procedure.

Find the fault first

ADAS diagnostics & triage

A full scan of every module tells us what's really behind the warning: a calibration, a sensor, wiring, or something else entirely.

  • Fault codes (DTCs) read and explained in plain English
  • Radar and ABS faults told apart
  • A pre-scan report you keep, whatever the outcome

Module coding & programming

New and second-hand modules often need coding to the car before they'll work, then calibrating. We do both in one visit.

  • Radar and camera module coding
  • Post-repair software updates
  • All makes and models

Where we do the work

Mobile, or in our Sheffield calibration bay.

Most jobs are done where the car is. If there isn't the space, we'll book it into our bay instead.

What we need for a calibration at your place

  • Flat, level ground, with a minimum of 2 metres clear in front, and up to 5 metres for some cars (we'll tell you if yours needs more), and space around the car
  • Steady light, not straight into low sun
  • Dry weather, or somewhere under cover. We can't set up outdoors in the rain, so if it's wet on the day we'll rebook or use our Sheffield calibration bay
  • Nothing shiny or cluttered near the car or targets, such as other cars, bins, glass or metal doors
  • The keys available and the car ready

These come from the car maker's calibration procedure. If your drive doesn't suit on the day, we'll book you into our Sheffield calibration bay instead.

Questions

ADAS calibration questions, answered straight.

How much does ADAS calibration cost?

It depends on which systems need calibrating and where the car is. Answer a few quick questions and you'll see your price straight away, before you book. Every job comes with a pre-scan, calibration certificate and post-scan report. There's no separate travel charge: the price you see is the price. If we can't complete a calibration, you don't pay for it, only the call-out and diagnostic.

Do I need a calibration after a new windscreen?

Almost always, if there's a camera behind the screen. More on windscreen camera calibration

What if you can't fix it?

You don't pay for a calibration that isn't completed. You only pay the call-out and diagnostic, and for that you get a full pre-scan with a written report you keep, plus a visual and physical check of the sensor and its mounting where it can be reached.

How long does it take?

Most single calibrations take under an hour. Vehicles ready before 11am can often be done the same day.

Can you do it at my home or workshop?

Yes. We need flat, level ground with a minimum of 2 metres clear in front, and up to 5 metres for some cars (we'll tell you if yours needs more), plus steady light, dry weather or cover, and nothing shiny or cluttered near the targets. Some calibrations are done on a short drive instead and don't need this space. If you don't have that, we'll use our Sheffield calibration bay.

Will my insurer accept your reports?

Every job comes with a pre-scan, calibration certificate and post-scan report. For bodyshop work, if your work provider uses an ADAS calibration form, we'll complete that too.

What if the warning comes back?

If the same system needs recalibrating again within one month (three months for trade accounts), we come back and do it at no extra charge, travel included. Private customers can choose 6-month cover for just £24 more on the calibration when they get their price online. T&Cs apply
