Calibrated for safety
Comprehensive Safety System Recalibration
Since 1996, our shop has provided diagnostic and calibration services across Kent and surrounding communities. Modern vehicles rely on radar, optical sensors, and cameras to power critical features like blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warnings, and automatic braking. Even a minor collision can shift these delicate components out of alignment.
As collision specialists in Kent WA, our technicians follow OEM guidelines to recalibrate your vehicle’s safety network after an accident. We correct misalignments so your safety systems can function as intended on the road.
Step-by-step precision
Our Calibration Workflow
Our methodical calibration process guarantees system accuracy before any vehicle returns to the road. Precise recalibration is a vital requirement for modern automotive safety.
System Diagnostics
We begin with a comprehensive pre-scan of the vehicle's computer systems. Technicians identify specific fault codes and determine exactly which cameras or radar sensors require realignment.
Target Setup
We position specialized targets and reflective panels precisely around the vehicle. This step utilizes dedicated manufacturer software to establish the correct geometry for sensor alignment.
Static and Dynamic Calibration
Depending on strict manufacturer requirements, we perform in-shop static calibration or on-road dynamic calibration. This ensures all sensors accurately read environmental data under real-world conditions.
Post-Repair Verification
We conduct a final post-scan to confirm all safety systems register properly. This step clears fault codes and verifies the vehicle is fully restored for safe operation.
