ADAS Calibration – Edinburgh

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems – more commonly known as ADAS – are now fitted to a wide range of modern vehicles.

Lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring: these systems rely on precisely calibrated cameras, sensors, and radar units to function correctly. When calibration is even slightly off, they can give false readings, fail to respond when needed, or in some cases stop working altogether.

When does ADAS need calibrating?

The most common trigger is a windscreen replacement – since many ADAS cameras are mounted directly behind the glass, any change to that screen requires recalibration. Beyond that, ADAS calibration is also needed following a front-end collision, suspension or steering work, wheel alignment adjustments, or any repair that affects sensor positioning. Some manufacturers also recommend periodic recalibration as part of routine maintenance.

How we carry out ADAS calibration

At Edinburgh Car Services, we use specialist equipment to carry out both dynamic and static ADAS calibration in line with manufacturer guidelines across a wide range of makes and models. The process requires a controlled environment, precise measurements, and the right diagnostic tools – all of which we have in our large, well-equipped workshop just off the A720 in Edinburgh.

Our technicians are trained to manufacturer standards, and every calibration is carried out methodically to ensure your vehicle’s safety systems are operating exactly as intended.

Why it matters

ADAS features exist to protect you, your passengers, and other road users. An uncalibrated system isn’t just unreliable – it can be genuinely dangerous. Getting calibration done properly, by a garage with the right equipment and training, isn’t optional: it’s essential.
