ADAS CALIBRATION
Modern vehicles rely on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to keep you safe on the road, but these systems need precise calibration to work correctly. At Allied Automotive in Allentown, PA, we provide professional ADAS calibration services using dealer-level equipment and expertise. Whether you’ve had windshield replacement, collision repairs, or alignment work, our ASE-certified technicians ensure your safety systems are accurately recalibrated for optimal performance.
ADAS calibration is the process of adjusting cameras, sensors, and radar systems that power your vehicle’s safety features. These systems assist with lane keeping, automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and collision avoidance. When components are replaced or misaligned, even by millimeters, your ADAS features may not function properly.
During calibration, we use specialized equipment to ensure each sensor and camera is positioned correctly and communicating accurately with your vehicle’s computer system. This restores your safety features to factory specifications, giving you confidence that your vehicle will respond as designed in critical moments.
Your vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems require recalibration in several situations:
Don’t ignore ADAS warning lights or assume your safety systems are working correctly after repairs. Proper calibration is essential for your safety on the road.
At Allied Automotive, we perform both static and dynamic ADAS calibration depending on your vehicle’s requirements.
Static calibration takes place in our shop using specialized targets and equipment. Your vehicle remains stationary while we position calibration boards and patterns at precise distances and angles. Our technicians use manufacturer-specific software to program cameras and sensors to recognize these targets, establishing accurate baseline measurements.
Dynamic calibration requires driving your vehicle under specific conditions while the system learns and adjusts. Our technicians perform initial programming in the shop, then complete the calibration through a controlled test drive. This process allows sensors to recognize real-world conditions like lane markings, traffic patterns, and road surfaces.
Forward-facing cameras mounted behind your rearview mirror are critical for lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking, and traffic sign recognition. After windshield replacement, these cameras must be recalibrated to ensure they’re aimed correctly and functioning at factory specifications.
Many vehicle manufacturers require specific calibration procedures for their ADAS systems. Our team follows OEM guidelines to ensure your calibration meets manufacturer standards, protecting both your safety and your vehicle’s warranty.

ADAS calibration is the process of adjusting cameras, sensors, and radar systems that power your vehicle’s safety features to ensure they function accurately. It’s needed after windshield replacement, collision repairs, or alignment work because even small misalignments can cause safety systems to malfunction or provide incorrect warnings.
ADAS recalibration typically takes one to two hours, depending on your vehicle’s make, model, and the number of systems requiring calibration. Some vehicles require only static calibration in our shop, while others need dynamic calibration that includes a test drive to complete the process.
Yes, you need ADAS calibration after windshield replacement if your vehicle has a forward-facing camera mounted behind the rearview mirror. Most modern vehicles use these cameras for lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking, and other safety features that won’t function correctly without proper calibration.
ADAS calibration costs in Pennsylvania vary based on your vehicle’s make, model, and the complexity of the systems requiring calibration.
