What is Wheel Alignment & ADAS Calibration? in complex accident & structural repairs.
At N. Scott Autos, we use the latest wheel alignment and calibration technology to ensure every repair is backed by precision. Modern vehicles rely on sensitive driver-assist systems (ADAS), from lane departure alerts to automatic braking. Even a small misalignment can compromise safety.
Your vehicle’s wheels and suspension geometry influence more than ride comfort and tyre wear; they also affect how your Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) operate. When sensors, cameras, or radars are even slightly out of alignment, features like lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot detection can misjudge the environment.
ADAS calibration is the process of precisely adjusting and aligning the cameras, sensors, and radar units so they function exactly as intended, restoring safety features to factory accuracy.
Before performing ADAS calibration, a correct wheel alignment is essential because suspension or steering misalignment can throw off sensor aiming.
Why It’s So Important
Safety features must be accurate
Misaligned sensors may cause systems to underreact, overreact, or trigger false alarms, undermining driver confidence and safety.
Restore factory specification
After repairs (windscreen, bodywork, suspension, wheel changes), calibration ensures the vehicle’s “eyes and ears” work as designed.
Compliance, warranties & insurance
Many insurers and OEMs expect ADAS systems to be verified after relevant work, skipping calibration risks, voiding warranty or insurance claims.
Avoid unnecessary faults or failures
A small angle error or shift in sensor alignment can degrade performance significantly.
