Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, continue to affect all aspects of collision repair, significantly increasing repair costs and cycle times, requiring shops to invest in new equipment and training, or to sublet pre- and post-calibration to third parties. Shop owners and technicians must understand what types of repairs require ADAS calibrations and how to accomplish them. Many common collision incidents, even minor ones, can necessitate recalibration. The consequences of missed or improper calibrations extend far beyond customer dissatisfaction, and include safety risks, legal liability, and customer comebacks. In this edition of IMPACT Collision Solutions, we will describe the rapid growth of ADAS systems, the effect they are having on the collision repair industry, and what repairers need to know to effectively deal with this challenge.
