ADAS calibration
after collision, windshield, or alignment.
Spot-On performs OEM-spec ADAS calibration at our San Antonio shop, by appointment only. Required any time the mounting position of a radar, camera, or lidar sensor is disturbed — collision repair, windshield replacement, alignment changes, ride-height changes, or sensor replacement. Static and dynamic calibration per manufacturer procedure. Pre and post-scan documentation available on advance request.
Uncalibrated ADAS is dangerous and a liability risk.
Modern vehicles rely on lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise, and blind-spot monitoring — all of which depend on sensors aimed and calibrated to OEM tolerance. When mounting is disturbed and calibration is skipped, those systems silently misbehave: lane-keep drifts, AEB fires late or not at all.
- Required by OEM repair proceduresAfter collision, windshield replacement, alignment, ride-height changes, or sensor replacement.
- Liability and warranty implicationsUncalibrated ADAS becomes the responsible party’s problem the moment something goes wrong on the road.
- Static + dynamic per platformMost forward-facing cameras and lidars require both: targets on a controlled floor, then a road-drive learn cycle.
Whoever does the repair sends the vehicle to us.
- After collision repairBody shop completes the structural and cosmetic work, then we calibrate.
- After windshield replacementAuto-glass installer replaces the glass, then we recalibrate the forward-facing camera behind it.
- After alignment or ride-height changeTire size change, suspension work, lift or lowering — confirm calibration.
- After ADAS sensor replacementNew or relocated radar/camera/lidar/ultrasonic requires initialization and calibration.
ADAS calibration for vehicle owners across the San Antonio ring.
Vehicle owners drive in for ADAS calibration from all around San Antonio — Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Converse, Live Oak, Helotes and Leon Valley close in; Boerne and Comfort from I-10 West; Kerrville and Fredericksburg from the northwest; Bulverde and Spring Branch from US-281 North; New Braunfels and San Marcos from I-35 North; Canyon Lake; Seguin from I-10 East; Castroville and Hondo along US-90 West; Floresville and Pleasanton from the south. Wherever you start, the calibration happens the same way: in-shop, by appointment, at 4715 N Stahl Park, Suite 105, San Antonio, TX 78217.
We do not dispatch mobile service to vehicle owners. ADAS calibration needs a level floor, controlled lighting, the manufacturer targets and OEM software in one place, so the car comes to us and leaves with its cameras and radar calibrated to factory tolerance.

Do I need ADAS calibration after a windshield replacement?
Yes, if your vehicle has a forward-facing camera mounted behind the windshield, which is the case for most vehicles with lane-keep assist or automatic emergency braking. New glass changes the camera’s view by a small amount, and the manufacturer procedure calls for ADAS calibration after the replacement. The glass installer replaces the windshield; we perform the calibration in-shop, by appointment, and confirm the camera is aimed to factory tolerance.
Static or dynamic calibration — which one?
It depends on the vehicle and the sensor. Static calibration is done in the shop with the car parked on a level floor in front of manufacturer-specified targets. Dynamic calibration is a road drive at set speeds while the scan tool teaches the sensor its position. Many vehicles require both, in a set order. We follow the manufacturer’s calibration procedure for your exact vehicle rather than picking one, so you do not have to decide — just book the appointment.
I’m in Kerrville, New Braunfels or Boerne — can I bring my car in?
Yes. Vehicle owners from Kerrville, New Braunfels, Boerne and the rest of the ring around San Antonio are welcome to drive in for ADAS calibration — in-shop, by appointment, at 4715 N Stahl Park, Suite 105, San Antonio, TX 78217. We do not dispatch mobile service to vehicle owners; calibration needs our level floor, targets and OEM software, so the car comes to us. Call (210) 439-7905 to schedule.
Will a warning light tell me if my ADAS needs calibration?
Not reliably. A camera or radar that is bolted in place but aimed slightly off will often set no fault code and no dash warning — the system still works, just against the wrong reference. That is why manufacturer procedures require ADAS calibration after the repair itself, not after a symptom appears. If your windshield, bumper, suspension or a sensor was recently replaced and nobody performed a calibration, book one; if a lane-keep or cruise warning is already on, book one sooner.
