Modern vehicles rely on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to help keep you safe on the road. Features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and parking sensors all depend on precisely aligned cameras and sensors.
At Spatig Bros Auto in Preston, ID, we offer professional ADAS calibration services to make sure those systems are working exactly as your manufacturer intended.
What Is ADAS Calibration?
If you've ever wondered "what is ADAS calibration?" it's the process of realigning and resetting your vehicle's cameras, radar, and sensors so they can accurately read the road, lane markings, signs, and nearby vehicles.
Even small changes to your vehicle-like a windshield replacement or suspension work-can knock these components out of alignment. ADAS calibration brings everything back to factory specifications so your safety features respond correctly.
When Do You Need an ADAS Calibration Service?
You may need an ADAS calibration service if any of the following has happened:
- Windshield replacement or repair (especially on vehicles with camera-based lane assist or collision warning)
- Front or rear collision, even at low speed
- Suspension, alignment, or steering work
- Bumper, grille, or mirror replacement where sensors or cameras are mounted
- Dashboard warning lights or messages related to lane-keeping, braking assist, or adaptive cruise control
- You notice your ADAS features behaving oddly (late warnings, no warnings, or inconsistent operation)
If you're not sure, bring your vehicle to Spatig Bros Auto and we can quickly tell you whether calibration is needed.

ADAS Calibration FAQs
How much does ADAS calibration cost?
The cost usually falls between $250 and $600, based on your vehicle and the systems involved. Higher-end models with more cameras and radar units may be on the upper end of that range. At Spatig Bros Auto in Preston, we'll explain your ADAS calibration cost upfront so there are no surprises.
How long does an ADAS calibration take?
Most ADAS calibrations take 1-3 hours, depending on whether your vehicle needs static, dynamic, or both types of calibration. Some vehicles calibrate quickly; others require road-driving conditions and extra verification. We'll give you a time estimate when you schedule your appointment so you can plan your day.
Can I drive my car without getting ADAS calibration after a repair?
You can physically drive the car, but it's not recommended. If cameras or sensors are misaligned, your ADAS features may give late warnings, false alerts, or fail to activate at all. That means you're relying on safety systems that are no longer accurate.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
Spatig Bros towed my van for me after I hit a deer. Because I was an hour from home, I had nobody there to pick me up. He took me to his shop where he offered me coffee, water and a soft chair then proceeded to do his work. He checked on me every 5 minutes or so just to make sure I was okay and then spent several minutes going over the damage to my car with me. He was incredibly kind both at the scene and at the shop and made a really hard morning that much easier. Great customer service!
Great people, great service. You'll never find anyone better.
