the procedure, jotting down the equipment
" part " numbers, and then calling
the dealer service department or finding
a distributor, like an online warehouse,
to order up the pieces. Be patient when
doing this.
ADAS CALIBRATION SYSTEMS
You have options when choosing an
aftermarket ADAS calibration system
(Figure 4). Aftermarket systems play
well to shops that service multiple carlines,
as they sell kits that include many
targets and give you a chance to essentially
hit the ground running. The cost
of these kits may seem hefty, but there is
some cost savings with the reduced time
investment in searching for the more ala
carte offerings from the manufacturers.
There are features from the aftermarket
offerings that can improve efficiency.
Some of the targets/reflectors (Figure
5) include built-in laser pointers, rulers,
levels, and leveling screws. This saves
you time by speeding up the process of
aligning the target with the camera/
radar being calibrated or squaring up
the target with the centerline of the vehicle.
Now I would like to let you in on the
secret to successful ADAS calibrations:
Follow the instructions to the letter. Do not
skip ahead and do not wing it. Some carlines
do not want any obstructions as you begin
the process, so skipping ahead to set up the
target will cause the calibration to fail. You
need to follow the directions as written and
leave the area in front of the vehicle open
until you are instructed to place the target.

ADAS is already here, in your bays right
now, and services you are performing that
disturb the cameras or radars require reaiming
prior to releasing a vehicle to your
client. Hopefully, with this article as a guide,
some research, a little reorganization or
perhaps shop area expansion, equipment
purchases, and some training, you can
provide these services for your clients and
if anything like my situation, for your local
collision shops, glass companies, and even
your competition.
