ADAS Calibration Service in Lafayette, LA
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—a network of cameras, radar sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and electronic control modules designed to help drivers avoid accidents and improve overall vehicle safety.
These systems include features such as:
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Pedestrian Detection
- Parking Assist Systems
- Surround View Camera Systems
These safety systems depend on precise sensor alignment. Even a small change in camera or radar position can affect how accurately your vehicle detects hazards. Contact us for ADAS Calibration Services in Lafayette, LA Today.
What Is ADAS Calibration?
ADAS calibration is the process of precisely aligning your vehicle’s cameras, radar sensors, and safety systems according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
Calibration ensures that your vehicle’s driver assistance systems are operating exactly as they were designed by the manufacturer.
Without proper calibration, these systems may not detect obstacles correctly, may react too early or too late, or may fail to operate when needed.
Why Is ADAS Calibration Needed?
Many drivers are surprised to learn that calibration is often required after routine vehicle repairs.
Your vehicle may require ADAS calibration after:
- Windshield replacement
- Front-end collision repairs
- Suspension or steering repairs
- Wheel alignment
- Tire replacement (on some vehicles)
- Camera or radar replacement
- Bumper replacement
- Ride height changes
- Certain manufacturer software updates
Whenever a camera or radar sensor has been removed, replaced, or its position has changed, calibration should be performed. ADAS Calibrations must be completed in our shop, we cannot offer mobile calibration services due to current safety regulations.

Your Safety Matters
Your ADAS system is designed to help protect you and your family.
Improperly calibrated safety systems can:
- Delay automatic emergency braking
- Cause false collision warnings
- Affect lane keeping performance
- Reduce adaptive cruise control accuracy
- Misread traffic signs
- Fail to recognize pedestrians or vehicles
- These systems should always be calibrated using manufacturer procedures and professional equipment.
At Abigail’s Auto Glass, we follow industry best practices to ensure your vehicle’s safety systems are functioning as intended.

Static Calibration
Static calibration is performed inside a controlled environment using specialized calibration targets and precision measuring equipment.
The vehicle remains stationary while manufacturer-specific targets are positioned at exact distances and angles.
The vehicle’s camera or radar is then electronically calibrated using advanced diagnostic software.
Static calibration is commonly required after:
- Windshield replacement
- Camera replacement
- Radar replacement
- Front-end repairs
- Certain manufacturer procedures
This process requires precise measurements and should only be performed using professional calibration equipment.
Dynamic Calibration
Dynamic calibration is completed by driving the vehicle under specific road conditions while connected to professional diagnostic equipment.
During the drive, the vehicle learns and confirms camera and radar alignment using lane markings, traffic signs, and surrounding vehicles.
Depending on the manufacturer, dynamic calibration may require:
- Driving at specific speeds
- Clear lane markings
- Good weather conditions
- Certain road types
- A designated driving distance
Some vehicles require only dynamic calibration, while others require both static and dynamic procedures.
Pre-Repair Scan
A pre-repair scan is performed before repairs begin.
This diagnostic scan checks every electronic control module throughout the vehicle for:
- Existing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
- ADAS system faults
- Sensor communication issues
- Electronic system status
The pre-scan documents the vehicle’s condition before repairs and helps identify issues that may already exist.
Post-Repair Scan
After repairs and calibration are completed, a post-repair scan verifies that all vehicle systems are functioning properly.
This scan:
- Confirms repairs were successful
- Checks for remaining Diagnostic Trouble Codes
- Verifies communication between modules
- Ensures ADAS systems are operating correctly
- Provides documentation that calibration procedures have been completed
A post-repair scan is an important final quality-control step before returning the vehicle to the customer.
