MOTOR CLINIC PROVIDES EXPERT

Motor Clinic is one of few garages in Stoke-on-Trent to offer professional ADAS calibration services.

We support both trade professionals and vehicle owners to ensure your vehicle’s advanced safety systems are functioning correctly.

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. It refers to a collection of advanced safety features designed to enhance driver safety.

These systems rely on a network of cameras, sensors, and radars that must be precisely aligned to operate correctly.

Following a collision, significant repair, or certain part replacements, ADAS sensors can become misaligned.

Calibration is the process of carefully adjusting these sensors to restore them to their original condition.

Accurate calibration is essential to maintain optimal safety performance. A minor misalignment – even as small as half a degree – can drastically affect a system’s effectiveness.

Calibration is often required following:

Modern vehicles are fitted with a range of ADAS sensors that may require precise calibration. Key examples include:

Steering Angle Sensors – These sensors track the direction the steering wheel is turned. Calibration is essential to ensure the correct zero-point reference is set. This is commonly needed following wheel alignments, steering or suspension repairs, or structural repairs.

Front-Facing Camera Sensors – These cameras are usually mounted on the windscreen near the rearview mirror. They detect vehicles, pedestrians, and lane markings. Calibration is required following windscreen replacements, vehicle alignment changes, or after collision repairs involving front-end damage.

Forward Radar Sensors – These are normally found within the front bumper or grille. They manage distance control for systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Calibration may involve static or dynamic methods, depending on the manufacturer’s requirements. Your vehicle would need to be recalibrated following front bumper removal or repair.

Rear Radar Sensors – These are located behind the rear bumper cover. They monitor objects approaching from the sides or rear. Calibration is necessary following rear bumper repairs, structural bodywork, or sensor replacements.
