ADAS Calibration in Newcastle

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems keep you safer on the road - but only when they’re correctly calibrated.

From lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control to automatic emergency braking and parking sensors, modern safety systems rely on precision cameras and radar. Even minor work such as a windscreen replacement, suspension repair or wheel alignment can knock these sensors out of position, which is why calibration is essential. We carry out ADAS calibration right here in Westerhope, Newcastle upon Tyne.

What Is ADAS?

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems - the cameras, radar and sensors that power features like autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring and parking assistance. These systems are now standard on most modern vehicles and play a direct role in keeping you and other road users safe.

Why ADAS Calibration Is Important

• Keeps safety systems accurate – ensures your vehicle’s technology works as intended.
• Protects you and your passengers – correct calibration can make the difference in an emergency.
• Required after repairs – essential following windscreen replacement, suspension work, accident damage or alignment.
• Covers all makes and models – calibration and diagnostics available for a wide range of vehicles.
• Trusted expertise – specialist equipment and trained technicians you can rely on.

When Does Your Car Need ADAS Calibration?

Calibration is needed any time a sensor’s position or aim could have changed. The most common triggers are windscreen replacement (where forward-facing cameras are mounted), wheel alignment and suspension work, accident or bodywork repairs, and the removal or replacement of cameras and radar units. If in doubt, it’s always safer to have the system checked.

Static and Dynamic Calibration

Depending on your vehicle and system, calibration is carried out either statically, using specialist targets in a controlled workshop setting, or dynamically, by driving the vehicle under set conditions so the system can recalibrate itself. We use the correct method for your make and model and confirm the system is working properly before you collect your car.
