The Systems We Calibrate
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems use cameras, radar sensors, ultrasonic sensors, control modules, and vehicle geometry inputs to help monitor the road and assist the driver.
Why ADAS Calibration Matters
A sensor or camera can be out of position without a visible warning light. Small changes in vehicle height, thrust angle, windshield camera position, bumper alignment, or sensor mounting can affect how the vehicle interprets distance, lane markings, obstacles, and traffic.
- Helps restore system operation to manufacturer specifications.
- Supports proper operation of lane, braking, radar, and camera systems.
- Improves repair documentation for body shops and insurers.
- Reduces the risk of delivering a vehicle with incomplete safety-system repairs.
Repair triggers
When Calibration May Be Required
Calibration requirements vary by year, make, model, equipment package, and OEM repair procedure. Always confirm the vehicle-specific procedure before final delivery.
| Repair Event | Why It Matters | Common Systems Affected |
|---|---|---|
| Windshield replacement | Forward cameras are often mounted to the windshield. | Lane keep, AEB, traffic sign recognition, forward collision warning |
| Collision repair | Sensor brackets, bumpers, panels, and vehicle structure can shift. | Radar, blind spot, parking sensors, cameras |
| Wheel alignment or suspension work | Vehicle geometry affects aiming and sensor interpretation. | Forward camera, radar, steering-angle related systems |
| Sensor or module replacement | New components generally require setup, coding, aiming, or calibration. | Cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors, ADAS control modules |

How it works
Our Calibration Process
1. Identify Systems
We review the vehicle, scan data, repair order, and relevant OEM requirements.
2. Prepare the Vehicle
We verify conditions such as tire pressure, alignment status, ride height, fuel and load requirements, and the target setup area.
3. Calibrate & Document
We perform required calibration steps and provide documentation for your repair file.
Why shops call us
What You Can Count On
A new name locally, run by someone who has done this work for years elsewhere. Here is what that means in practice.
The OEM Procedure, Every Time
We look up and follow the manufacturer's published procedure for the specific vehicle in front of us — not a generic routine.
Scans Included, Not Extra
Pre-scan and post-scan come with the calibration. You get the reports, the codes, and a record of what was performed for the repair file.
The Vehicle Stays With You
We come to your facility. No sublet, no shuttling a customer's car across town, no days added to your cycle time.
We Tell You If It Doesn't Need One
If the procedure does not call for a calibration, we say so. You are not paying for work the vehicle does not require.
Static and Dynamic, In House
Target-based and road-test procedures both, including vehicles that need the two performed together to complete the repair.
Owner-Operated
Colonial Calibrations, established 2026 in Williamsburg. Independently owned and locally run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a warning light always show when calibration is needed?
No. A vehicle may require calibration after certain repairs even when no warning light is currently displayed.
Do all vehicles require the same calibration?
No. Requirements vary by vehicle, system type, trim package, repair procedure, and equipment installed.
Can a wheel alignment affect ADAS?
It can. Thrust angle and ride height are inputs to how forward-facing sensors aim, so alignment and suspension work often trigger a calibration requirement.
Can you come to my shop?
Yes. Colonial Calibrations is designed to support collision centers, glass shops, dealerships, fleets, and repair facilities with mobile service options.
Do you provide documentation?
Yes. Documentation can include scan reports, calibration records, notes, and supporting photos depending on the job.
