Services

Calibration, diagnostics and programming, done to specification

Every appointment includes a full pre-scan and post-scan, so you leave with evidence that the systems pass — not just an assurance that they should.

What we offer

Durations below are the time reserved in the bay. If a vehicle turns out to need more, we will tell you before we start.

  • Forward camera calibration, static and dynamic

    2 hrs 30 min

    Some manufacturers, including Subaru EyeSight and several Honda, Nissan and Toyota models, require a static target calibration followed by a dynamic road-test calibration. Both are done in one visit, with pre-scan and post-scan reports.

  • 360° surround-view calibration

    2 hrs

    Calibration of the surround-view camera system after a mirror, tailgate, grille or camera is replaced. Done in our bay on pattern mats, with pre-scan and post-scan reports.

  • Backup camera calibration

    1 hr

    Calibration of the rear camera and its guide lines after a tailgate, trunk lid or camera replacement. Many vehicles need no calibration here - call with the VIN and we will check before you book.

  • Parking sensor calibration

    1 hr

    Calibration or initialization of front and rear parking sensors after bumper repair or sensor replacement, on vehicles whose manufacturer publishes a procedure.

  • LiDAR calibration

    1 hr 30 min

    Calibration of the LiDAR sensor used for collision avoidance and driver assistance. Coverage varies by vehicle, so call with the VIN before booking.

  • Night vision calibration

    2 hrs

    Calibration of the infrared night vision camera fitted to some BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac models. Call with the VIN for a quote before booking.

  • Steering angle sensor reset

    30 min

    Resets the steering angle sensor after a wheel alignment or steering or suspension repair. Included at no charge when a calibration we perform requires it.

  • Headlamp aim and AFS initialization

    45 min

    Aims the headlamps and initializes the adaptive front lighting system after headlamp replacement or front-end repair.

  • Pre- or post-repair scan

    30 min

    A scan of every module with a report of stored fault codes, for documenting a vehicle before or after repair. A pre-scan and post-scan are already included with every calibration.

  • Module coding and initialization

    1 hr

    VIN-specific coding and initialization of a replaced ADAS camera, radar or body control module, priced per module.

  • OEM online programming

    1 hr 30 min

    Programming that needs the manufacturer's own software, done through a J2534 pass-through. The manufacturer's access fee is passed through at cost.

* Business rates may vary.

Included in every job

The four parts of a complete calibration

  • 1

    Calibrate

    Static and dynamic calibration performed to the manufacturer's published procedure, on level floor with controlled lighting, correct target distances and verified tire pressures.

  • 2

    Diagnose

    Full-system scan before and after every job. We identify fault codes, wiring and installation faults, and the alignment issues that stop a calibration from completing.

  • 3

    Program

    VIN-specific module programming and initialization for replaced components, so a new camera or radar module behaves exactly as the original did.

  • 4

    Verify and document

    You leave with a report showing the pre-scan, the procedure followed, and the post-scan confirming the system passed. That record matters for insurers and for liability.

Not sure which to book?

Book diagnostics. We scan the vehicle, identify exactly which systems are out of specification, and quote the calibration work before doing it.

Check first

Situations that require recalibration

If one of these applies, book a calibration. If you are unsure, call us and describe what was done to the vehicle.

  • Windshield replacement or repair on a camera-equipped vehicle
  • Any collision repair, however minor
  • Wheel alignment or suspension work
  • Ride height changes, including new springs or larger tires
  • Bumper, grille or mirror removal and refitting
  • Camera, radar or sensor replacement
  • Airbag deployment
  • Steering angle sensor replacement or reset
  • Body control or ADAS module replacement
  • A dash warning light for lane keeping, cruise or collision warning

On the day

What to expect when you arrive

  1. Step 1

    Book online

    Pick the service, choose a time that suits you, and tell us about the vehicle. You get an immediate confirmation - the slot is yours.

  2. Step 2

    Pre-scan and inspection

    We scan every module and check the things that make calibrations fail: tire pressures, fuel level, ride height, alignment and prior repairs.

  3. Step 3

    Calibration

    Static targets in the bay, a road procedure, or both - whatever the manufacturer specifies for that vehicle and system.

  4. Step 4

    Post-scan and report

    A second full scan confirms the systems pass, and you receive the documentation for your records or your insurer.
