CHASE COLLISION

Modern vehicles rely on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to help keep you safe on the road. Features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and parking sensors all depend on precisely aligned cameras and sensors.

At Chase Collision in Hempstead, NY, we offer professional ADAS calibration services to make sure those systems are working exactly as your manufacturer intended.

What Is ADAS Calibration?

If you've ever wondered "what is ADAS calibration?" it's the process of realigning and resetting your vehicle's cameras, radar, and sensors so they can accurately read the road, lane markings, signs, and nearby vehicles.

Even small changes to your vehicle-like a windshield replacement or suspension work-can knock these components out of alignment. ADAS calibration brings everything back to factory specifications so your safety features respond correctly.

When Do You Need an ADAS Calibration Service?

You may need an ADAS calibration service if any of the following has happened:

• Windshield replacement or repair (especially on vehicles with camera-based lane assist or collision warning)
• Front or rear collision, even at low speed
• Suspension, alignment, or steering work
• Bumper, grille, or mirror replacement where sensors or cameras are mounted
• Dashboard warning lights or messages related to lane-keeping, braking assist, or adaptive cruise control
• You notice your ADAS features behaving oddly (late warnings, no warnings, or inconsistent operation)

If you're not sure, bring your vehicle to Chase Collision and we can quickly tell you whether calibration is needed.

ADAS Calibration FAQs

How much does ADAS calibration cost?

The cost usually falls between $250 and $600, based on your vehicle and the systems involved. Higher-end models with more cameras and radar units may be on the upper end of that range. At Chase Collision in Hempstead, we'll explain your ADAS calibration cost upfront so there are no surprises.

How long does an ADAS calibration take?

Most ADAS calibrations take 1-3 hours, depending on whether your vehicle needs static, dynamic, or both types of calibration. Some vehicles calibrate quickly; others require road-driving conditions and extra verification. We'll give you a time estimate when you schedule your appointment so you can plan your day.

Can I drive my car without getting ADAS calibration after a repair?

You can physically drive the car, but it's not recommended. If cameras or sensors are misaligned, your ADAS features may give late warnings, false alerts, or fail to activate at all. That means you're relying on safety systems that are no longer accurate.
