As Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) become more common on new vehicles, many collision repairers are considering bringing diagnostic and calibration services in-house to reduce cycle time and ensure they are performed correctly to return every vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
“Today, the list of items required to deliver proper and safe ADAS services to a customer is pretty involved,” said Frank Phillips, vice president of strategy at ADAS Solutions USA, which provides support related to diagnostics, programming and calibration.

Several companies offering the products and services collision repairers need to keep up with new ADAS technology will be exhibiting at the 2024 SEMA Show, Nov. 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and AAPEX, Nov. 5-7 at the Venetian Expo & Caesars Forum, both in Las Vegas, NV.
Autobody News spoke to industry representatives about the common challenges collision shops face when implementing ADAS calibration services and how businesses can best position themselves to calibrate vehicles correctly, and to the companies who will be at SEMA and AAPEX to help attendees overcome those hurdles.
Common ADAS Calibration Challenges
Phillips said one of the most common challenges collision centers encounter is understanding what it takes to successfully deliver the highest level of quality to ensure a safe and proper repair.
“It’s the ability to perform the service in a place where the tooling and equipment can work as intended by the product’s manufacturer and OEM,” he explained.
Another challenge according to Ari Scheller, product leader of collision shop solutions at OEC, is identifying what’s required for each repair.
“OEM requirements vary based on the model, damage severity and interconnected systems,” said Scheller. “Thorough upfront research is crucial to building an accurate estimate and repair plan and shops should rely on up-to-date, genuine OEM procedures and position statements. This ensures safe, compliant repairs and provides the necessary justification for insurance carriers.”
Greg Peeters, CEO of Car ADAS Solutions, noted shops often face challenges with incomplete and failed calibrations.
“To prevent this, it requires adequate training, a compliant environment, complete equipment packages and software gap coverage,” he explained.
Tooling, Equipment and Software Considerations
Phillips said various scanning options exist, from an in-house device to computers containing specific OEM software.
“Providers need to subscribe to advanced remote diagnostic services -- especially if the company is not set up with access to every OEM software application -- to ensure the proper procedures are followed,” he noted.
Additionally, business owners must consider the target frames/systems required to perform calibrations, ranging from rudimentary mechanical devices that position targets using traditional tape measures and other techniques to very sophisticated systems that perform wheel alignment measurements.
For shops purchasing ADAS calibration products, Scheller suggests investing in those that provide genuine, up-to-date OEM procedures, because ADAS systems evolve frequently.
“We’re seeing an increasing trend where insurance carriers are closely scrutinizing ADAS procedures and rejecting those that lack proper OEM documentation,” noted Scheller. “OEMs are the ultimate source of truth for repair requirements, so using accurate, validated documentation [with the OEM copyright visible] is essential for ensuring high-quality repairs and simplifying the insurance claims process.”
Phillips estimates about three out of 10 calibrations are successful on the first attempt. “Often, extensive diagnostic work is required to ensure that electronic systems are working correctly,” he said.
This adds to the list of tooling and equipment required to complete the diagnostic steps safely and accurately. Phillips said the best ADAS service providers have several tools available.
Items can include an air compressor and digital pressure gauge to verify tire pressure, analysis tools like volt meters, battery support tools, battery testing equipment, thermal temperature scanners, and a set of hand tools. He estimates the entry investment is approximately $250,000.
Joel Adcock, Revv’s director of partnerships and business development, recommended looking into whether setting up a separate entity or LLC for the operation makes sense for the business model.
Finally, shops should establish a clear pricing strategy that reflects the value of accurate and reliable ADAS calibrations, ensuring customer transparency.
Opportunity to Connect & Learn at SEMA
The SEMA Show is the time of the year when many equipment providers launch new equipment and improved tooling.
For those looking to expand their calibration offerings, Phillips suggests engaging with equipment companies and thoroughly evaluating their offerings to make well-informed decisions.
“Coming with the attitude that you already know how to do everything and have already made your mind up will risk buyers’ remorse and most certainly yield an element of frustration when the new tool shows up and you quickly learn that all that was assumed is not reality,” he cautioned.
Most tooling companies offer hands-on demonstrations, and Phillips encourages SEMA and AAPEX attendees to ask questions and gauge the level of service that companies can expect.
“There is never enough time to see everything, so start with your top priorities and then expand from there,” he added.
He also recommends listening to other professionals exploring new equipment and being open-minded to learning from those who may have forged the same path.
Overall, Phillips said, we’re all in this together.
“A well-advised colleague, mentor and good friend always said, ‘There is no single service provider who can fix all the cars themselves,’” he said. “If we embrace the customer and focus on the mission to deliver safe and proper repairs together, we all win, and there will be plenty to go around.”
SEMA drives this philosophy, according to Phillips, with the greatest networking opportunity in the automotive industry.
