ADAS Sensor Repair & Recalibration
ADAS Sensor Repair & Recalibration
Your vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use various sensors to make vehicles safer. After an accident, you must find a body shop that has been properly trained and has high-technology equipment to repair or recalibrate the ADAS systems, including cameras, radar units, and ultrasonic transmitters. Each system can help drivers be safe and avoid accidents by gathering and analyzing information instantly, enabling them to make better choices.
Here are some standard features that ADAS sensors support:
Calibration is essential for the proper functioning of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Properly calibrated sensors ensure the systems can accurately interpret data and correctly execute safety functions. This precision is vital for adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
At Dingman’s, our main goal is to ensure your vehicle safety by recalibrating or repairing the warning systems that take automatic actions so they work their best.
ADAS Repair & Recalibration trained technicians and advanced tools are non-negotiable. Here’s why:
- Precision Tools Required: ADAS calibration demands high-precision tools like laser alignment systems and specialized targets.
- Consistent Accuracy: Only specialized equipment can ensure sensors are correctly aligned, maintaining the accuracy of safety features.
- Avoiding Malfunctions: Improperly calibrated sensors can lead to false warnings or system failures, compromising safety.
Dingman’s can ensure your ADAS sensors are calibrated accurately, keeping your vehicle’s safety features functioning optimally after an accident.
Common ADAS Recalibrations After Repairs or Maintenance Work
Windshield Replacement Impact on Sensor Functionality
When a windshield is replaced, the alignment and accuracy of front-facing camera sensors can be compromised. These sensors are crucial for automatic emergency braking and lane departure warnings. Misalignment due to windshield replacement necessitates recalibration to ensure these safety features function accurately.
Collision Repairs Necessitating Recalibration
Various types of collision-related damage can affect ADAS sensor functionality. For instance:
- Front-end collisions: Impact on forward radar sensors, often in the front bumper, requires recalibration to restore adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning systems.
- Rear-end collisions: Damage to rear radar sensors used for blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts necessitates recalibration to detect vehicles in blind spots accurately.
- Side impacts: Influence on side-mounted ultrasonic sensors used in parking assist systems may require recalibration to ensure precise distance measurements during parking maneuvers.
Each scenario highlights the importance of recalibrating ADAS sensors after specific repairs or maintenance work to sustain the effectiveness of advanced driver assistance systems.
Properly calibrated ADAS sensors significantly enhance your vehicle’s performance and reliability. These sensors ensure accurate data collection, enabling safety features like automatic emergency braking systems to function effectively without frequent false positives or negatives.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced Safety Features: Accurate sensor data results in more reliable safety features, such as lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Improved Driver Confidence: Knowing that your vehicle’s ADAS is functioning correctly provides peace of mind, allowing you to focus on driving.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Regular calibration checks and professional services help maintain optimal performance, preventing malfunctioning components from causing expensive repairs.
- Increased Longevity of ADAS Components: Ensuring that all parts work seamlessly together extends the lifespan of your vehicle’s complex electronic systems.
Investing in regular professional services ensures that everything works smoothly, reducing the risk of accidents caused by malfunctioning systems. Proper calibration keeps you safe and maintains your vehicle’s integrity and reliability.
Insurance policies often cover these expenses, especially if events like collisions or windshield replacements necessitate the recalibration. It’s advisable to check with your provider to understand the specifics of your coverage.

TESTIMONIALS
I have already recommended to two friends and had my positive experience verified
by one other Dingman’s customer. They exceeded my expectations on estimate
process, communication, cost, speed of Tesla Approved Collision Repair and communication/management with
insurance company. Just moved to Omaha and knew there were no Tesla Service Centers locally.
Stressed having to get work done, but experience turned out exceptionally positive! I
have less anxiety owning a Tesla in Omaha having met Andy and Dingman’s!
They went above and beyond with my auto repair, the communication via cell and in
person was both outstanding. A very personal and caring and dedicated to customer
satisfaction. I have had my other cars repaired by other companies in our community. I
have 5 cars. I am now a Dingman customer for life, here locally and 3 other Dingman
locations. Having new parts is what I wanted. The staff were outstanding. Thank You
all at Dingman’s. You are the auto repairs best in service in Omaha.
I had heard about the “Dingman Difference” on the radio but hadn’t experienced it first-hand until my recent car accident. It’s hard to put into words how extremely satisfied I am about the tremendous job your company did repairing my damaged Mercedes and returning it to me in even better shape than I could have imagined. Your personal advice and professional expertise, while not unexpected, was very much appreciated. You and your staff certainly exemplified the integrity, honesty and customer service that your company has long been known and recognized for.
