Calibration After Collision Repairs in Andover

Collision work often means more than new panels and paint. Sensors and cameras need proper calibration to keep safety systems working as they should. At Deano’s Collision and Automotive Specialists we handle this step for drivers around Andover every week.

Overview

Modern cars rely on ADAS features like lane keep assist and automatic braking. After body repairs these systems can lose their factory settings. Calibration resets the sensors so they read the road correctly again. We see this on many vehicles that come through our shop in Andover.

Key Benefits

Proper calibration restores full function to safety features. It also cuts the risk of warning lights or failed inspections later. Drivers notice smoother operation and fewer surprises on the road. Our Fiat certified team knows the exact steps for these models too.

What’s Included/Scope

The process covers camera aiming, radar alignment, and sensor testing. We use factory tools for most makes. Post-repair calibration applies after windshield swaps, bumper work, or frame pulls. Static methods happen in our bay while dynamic tests run on nearby roads.

Common Mistakes

Some shops skip the step or use generic equipment. That leaves systems partly blind. Others rush the job and miss small adjustments. Always ask for proof the work was done right before you leave.

Timeline & Budget

Most jobs finish in two to four hours. Simple camera resets cost less than full radar work. We give clear quotes upfront so you know what to expect. Add a day if parts need ordering.
