Legal Risks: Repair shops are at risk of lawsuits if they fail to properly calibrate ADAS systems after routine maintenance like windshield replacement, as interruptions to sensors require recalibration for safety system functionality. In the state of Maryland, you are liable for all your sublet providers. A 30-minute calibration will not protect you if someone gets injured, you will be liable!
Lack of Warnings: Vehicles typically do not alert technicians or owners when ADAS systems are not properly calibrated, leading to potential safety issues if the systems do not function as intended.
Documentation Concerns: Proper calibration documentation, including certification and calibration details, is often lacking in repair shop estimates and final invoices, increasing the risk of legal repercussions.
In Facility Calibration Requirements: Specific requirements for in-house ADAS calibration, including bay dimensions, ceiling height, floor conditions, wall color, absence of reflective surfaces, and uniform lighting to ensure accurate and reliable calibrations.
Environmental Factors: A distracting or non-ideal environment can lead to incorrect or missed calibrations, emphasizing the need for controlled and specific conditions for ADAS calibration work.
30 Minute Calibrations Don’t Keep Your Customer Safe or Your Shop Protected from Getting Sued!!!
IT’S MORE THAN JUST A LIGHT, GET YOUR ADAS DONE RIGHT!
