Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Looking for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Repair?
Sherrill Paint & Body offers professional Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) calibration services to ensure your vehicle’s safety technology performs exactly as the manufacturer intended after any collision repair or windshield replacement.
As modern vehicles become increasingly equipped with radar sensors, cameras, and ultrasonic systems, proper calibration is no longer optional; it is essential to your safety on the road.
When you bring your vehicle to Sherrill Paint & Body, you can trust that every calibration procedure follows OEM guidelines specific to your vehicle’s make and model.
We document all calibration results for your records and work directly with insurance carriers to ensure the cost of ADAS recalibration is properly included in your repair estimate.
What Is ADAS and Why Does Your Vehicle Need It?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are a suite of integrated safety technologies built into modern vehicles that use cameras, radar sensors, LiDAR, and ultrasonic technology to continuously monitor the road, surrounding traffic, and potential hazards in real time.
Mounted at precise locations throughout your vehicle, including the windshield, bumpers, side mirrors, and grille, these systems work together as an interconnected network to detect danger, assist your decision-making, and, in many cases, intervene automatically to help prevent a collision.
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Lane Departure Warning & Lane Keep Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Blind-Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Pedestrian & Cyclist Detection
- Parking Assist & Surround-View Cameras
These systems are only as effective as their calibration; each sensor and camera must be positioned to the manufacturer’s exact specifications, often within millimeters, to deliver reliable performance. A misaligned camera may fail to detect a pedestrian, and an uncalibrated radar module may not trigger emergency braking in time.
That is why ADAS calibration following any collision repair, windshield replacement, wheel alignment, or suspension work is a safety requirement, not an option. At Sherrill Paint & Body, we treat ADAS calibration as a critical component of every repair, verifying every system before your vehicle leaves our auto body shop so you can drive away knowing your safety technology is fully operational.
Static vs. Dynamic ADAS Calibration
After a collision, structural repairs, even those involving seemingly minor components like bumpers, grilles, or windshields, can shift the precise mounting angles of ADAS sensors by fractions of a degree.
Because these systems rely on exact positioning to detect lane markings, measure following distances, and identify obstacles, even small misalignments can produce dangerous false readings or complete system failures.
Sherrill Paint & Body performs a comprehensive ADAS scan both before and after every repair to identify any sensors that require recalibration.
Static calibration: is performed inside our auto body shop using specialized target boards and fixtures placed at precise distances from the vehicle. This method is used for forward-facing cameras, radar modules, and certain lane departure systems.
Dynamic calibration: requires a technician to drive the vehicle at specific speeds on clearly marked roads while the system uses real-world data to realign itself. Many ADAS systems require a combination of both methods to achieve full operational status.
Sherrill Paint & Body is equipped to perform both types of restoration, ensuring a complete system restoration for your vehicle, regardless of its needs.

Skipping ADAS calibration may reduce upfront repair costs, but it leaves critical safety systems uncalibrated and could fail to perform in an emergency, putting you, your passengers, and others at risk. Proper ADAS calibration is not an optional add-on; it is a required part of any complete, safe, and liability-conscious collision repair.
Warning lights on your dashboard, unexpected system alerts, or features like adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist behaving erratically are common indicators that your ADAS sensors may be misaligned or malfunctioning. Even if no warning lights appear, a professional post-repair scan is the only reliable way to confirm that all ADAS systems are functioning within manufacturer specifications.
In most cases, ADAS calibration is a covered repair under a comprehensive or collision insurance claim because it is a required step in restoring your vehicle to a safe, pre-accident condition. We recommend confirming coverage details with your insurance adjuster, and our team can provide the necessary documentation to support the claim.
Yes, even low-speed impacts can shift sensors, cameras, and radar modules out of their factory-set positions, compromising the accuracy of systems like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning. Any collision repair involving the bumper, windshield, grille, or structural components of your vehicle should include a full ADAS scan and recalibration.

From Our Customers…
A big thank you to Sherrill Paint & Body. Extremely nice and knowledge, Kasey helped me with an estimate for work, discussed my options and what I preferred, and even had the shop pop out a dent in my bumper for free. When I get it fully repaired, its going to be here. Highly recommended.
Can’t say enough about the customer service at Sherrill! I had some minor damage after a hit-and-run and Sherrill did a great job replacing and painting the front bumper. They even replaced a tail light bulb that was unrelated to the wreck!
