FAQs

Misaligned cameras or sensors can affect the performance of safety features such as lane keeping assistance, traffic sign recognition and autonomous emergency braking.

If your vehicle requires calibration following windscreen replacement, Elite Garages can carry out ADAS calibration at our branches in Fareham, Salisbury and Southampton..

No. But, many modern vehicles equipped with cameras and driver assistance systems require calibration after windscreen replacement to ensure those systems continue operating correctly.

Elite Garages does not replace windscreens, but ADAS calibration is available at our in Fareham, Salisbury and Southampton branches.

In some cases, yes. Damage in the area around cameras or sensors can affect visibility and system performance, particularly if the crack obstructs critical components.

While Elite Garages does not carry out windscreen replacement, our team can advise on ADAS calibration requirements if your vehicle’s cameras or sensors need recalibrating afterwards.

Modern vehicles use interconnected systems that require diagnostics, calibration and software integration. This makes repairs more complex than on older mechanical vehicles.

Electric vehicles can be more expensive to repair in some situations because they contain specialised high-voltage systems and components that require specific training and equipment.

Yes. While modern technology improves safety and convenience, it also increases the complexity of repairs, diagnostics and component replacement.

Yes. While modern technology improves safety and convenience, it also increases the complexity of repairs, diagnostics and component replacement.

Some repairs do. Vehicles equipped with ADAS technology may require camera or sensor recalibration after windscreen replacement, suspension work or certain collision repairs.

The ADAS calibration process typically takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on your vehicle’s technology and whether a static, dynamic, or combined calibration is needed. Your car must remain stationary during parts of the process to allow precise sensor alignment. At Elite Garages, we aim to complete calibrations efficiently without compromising accuracy or safety.

At Elite Garages, ADAS calibration starts from £190 plus VAT. The final cost depends on your vehicle’s make and model, the type of ADAS system it uses (camera, radar, or both), and whether a static or dynamic calibration is required. We’ll always explain the process and pricing up front—no surprises, just honest, expert advice.

Yes, you do. ADAS sensors and cameras are often mounted behind the windscreen or near suspension components. Even a simple windscreen replacement or wheel alignment can shift the position of these sensors slightly, making the system unreliable. To ensure your safety features work correctly—such as lane-keeping assist, emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control—an ADAS calibration should be performed any time those components are adjusted or replaced.
