ADAS Calibration in Carrollton, TX
ADAS calibration recalibrates your vehicle's safety cameras, radars, and sensors to exact manufacturer specification after a collision, windshield, or suspension change. Westway Collision Center in Carrollton, TX performs OEM-procedure static and dynamic calibrations — because a sensor one degree off can mean an emergency brake that fires late or not at all.
What is ADAS calibration and why does my car need it after a collision?
ADAS — Advanced Driver Assistance Systems — are the cameras and radars behind automatic braking, lane keeping, and adaptive cruise; any collision, panel replacement, or alignment change can shift their aim, requiring recalibration to factory spec.
Modern vehicles make driving decisions from sensor data: when to brake, when to steer, when to warn. Those sensors aim through bumpers and windshields that were just removed, replaced, or shifted by the impact. Calibration re-teaches each sensor its exact position using manufacturer targets and procedures — static in our facility, dynamic on a controlled road drive — until every system verifies within tolerance.
What happens if ADAS is not recalibrated after a repair?
An uncalibrated system can brake late, steer incorrectly, misread lanes, or fail silently — the car may show no warning light while the protection you paid for is compromised.
This is the most skipped step in the collision industry, and the most dangerous one. A radar aimed two degrees low sees a car later; a camera aimed slightly high misreads lane markings. We treat calibration as non-negotiable on every applicable repair, document the results, and hand you the verification report. If a shop tells you it is unnecessary, that is a reason to change shops.
Does insurance cover ADAS calibration?
Yes — calibration required by a covered collision repair is a legitimate, documented part of the claim, and we bill it directly to your carrier.
Adjusters occasionally question calibration line items; we answer with the manufacturer's own position statements requiring it. OEM procedures mandate calibration after specific repairs, and we include those requirements in your repair plan so the claim covers the complete, correct job — not the cheap version of it.
