Calibration and Service

Replace a windshield, fit tires of a different size, adjust the suspension, or repair a bumper, and your car sensors may now be aiming at the wrong patch of road. Calibration and Service explains the part of driver assistance that surprises people the most. We cover static calibration in a shop with targets, dynamic calibration on a road drive, and why both exist. You will learn which jobs trigger a required recalibration, roughly what it costs, how long it takes, and what happens if you skip it. We also cover the warning messages that appear when a sensor is out of alignment and the questions worth asking a body shop before they hand your keys back. This is the hub for keeping your safety features pointed where they should be.
