Pro ADAS Calibration's number one goal has always been safety. We scrutinize every calibration our technicians make, have a specific Quality Assurance wing of our operation, and have always underlined the importance of documentation and doing everything by OEM Standards.

In this article, it becomes apparent that with increasing ADAS sensors, documentation and careful scrutiny will become much more important as vehicles get smarter.

"...The future of collision repair will be shaped by expanding sensor arrays, conditional system behaviors, and higher safety standards, requiring shops to develop robust processes for verification, documentation, and communication to ensure successful repairs and mitigate liability..."

Check out today's , where we share an excellent legal article regarding liability related to ADAS calibrations, and the importance of documentation and performing every OEM Requirement.

At Pro ADAS Calibration, we strive to research each and every OEM requirement and follow the instructions to the letter. For each calibration performed, we provide photo documentation, a Certificate of Calibration, and other extensive documentation about the process of our calibration.

Today on , we share an article about legislation, liability, and identification regarding ADAS systems.

"...Srisu Subrahmanyam, CEO of Repairify, puts the problem in two parts. The first is identification: knowing which sensors need to be recalibrated after a collision based on where the damage occurred and what systems are on the vehicle.

The second is verification: confirming the calibration was actually performed correctly. "Just because you see a blank screen doesn't mean your ADAS systems are perfectly fine," he said. A clear scan showing no DTC codes is not confirmation that sensors are operating within spec. Most vehicles have no instrumentation that tells a driver, or a technician, whether they are...."

Shops have made strides on identifying what needs to be calibrated. Verifying the work was actually done right is a different problem entirely.
