Daniele helped me with a new key cutting for my Honda Civic, didn’t take long and was back in my car in no time. Very reasonably priced compared to a dealership and quick service! Very pleased. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

ADAS CALIBRATION

ADAS Calibration in Basingstoke - The Automotive Expert Basingstoke, Hampshire

Modern vehicles increasingly feature Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to improve safety and comfort. These systems rely on cameras, sensors, radar, and LiDAR to function correctly.

After any repair, windscreen replacement, or wheel alignment, ADAS calibration is essential to ensure these systems work as intended.

We provide professional ADAS calibration services using the latest equipment and procedures, entirely in line with original manufacturer (OEM) standards.

What is ADAS Calibration?

ADAS calibration involves the precise alignment and testing of your vehicle’s advanced safety systems. Common features requiring calibration include:

  • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

  • Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

  • Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

  • Blind Spot Monitoring

  • Traffic Sign Recognition

  • Parking Assist

Even minor misalignments can result in these systems malfunctioning — potentially putting you and others at risk.

When Do You Need ADAS Calibration?

You may require calibration if:

  • Your windscreen has been replaced

  • A camera, sensor or radar has been removed or replaced

  • Your vehicle has been involved in a collision

  • Suspension or steering components have been repaired or replaced

  • The wheel alignment has been adjusted

Types of ADAS Calibration

  • Static Calibration – Carried out in the workshop using specialist targets and equipment while the vehicle remains stationary.

  • Dynamic Calibration – Involves driving the vehicle under specific road and speed conditions to recalibrate the system.

Many vehicles require a combination of both methods.

Why Choose Us?

  • OEM-Compliant Equipment – We use manufacturer-approved tools for precise calibration

  • Certified Technicians – Trained across a wide range of makes and models

  • Quick Turnaround – Same-day service available for most vehicles

  • Quality Assurance – All systems tested and verified post-calibration
