When today’s vehicles are damaged, repairs must address both visible damage and the invisible electronics that keep drivers safe. B & J Body Shop in Rancho Cordova uses advanced ADAS scanning and OEM calibration protocols to identify and correct sensor and camera misalignment after collisions — not just clear fault codes.
Why ADAS Calibration Matters
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) — including radar, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras — control features like adaptive cruise, lane-departure warnings, and emergency braking. Even minor impacts can shift mounting points or brackets by fractions of an inch, causing sensors to misread or fail. A simple diagnostic reset does not verify alignment or restore real-world accuracy.
What a Full Calibration Involves
At B & J, every suspected ADAS issue triggers a structured process: pre-repair scans to capture existing trouble codes, precise measurement and sensor alignment checks, OEM-specified calibration routines, and post-repair verification scans. Most calibrations are performed on-site; for alignment-rack procedures, the shop sublets to trusted partners and oversees the entire workflow to guarantee results.
When Advanced Calibration Is Required
Not every repair needs full ADAS calibration, but many common collision repairs do — bumpers, windshields, fenders, suspension, or wheel alignment work frequently affect sensor positioning. B & J evaluates each repair against manufacturer guidance and performs advanced calibration any time OEM documentation indicates it’s necessary.
The Risk of Skipping Calibrations
Clearing codes without performing calibration may leave safety systems unable to detect hazards or to react correctly. That can cause delayed braking responses, false alerts, or systems that simply don’t engage when needed. Beyond safety, skipped calibrations can compromise warranties and resale value — consequences that far outweigh short-term savings.
Skipping ADAS recalibration or frame verification may save money up front, but endangers drivers later. Authorities such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration highlight the safety role of proper repairs
Insurance Coordination & Customer Advocacy
Many insurers limit or deny payment for calibrations. B & J proactively documents OEM requirements, submits technical bulletins and diagnostic data, and negotiates with carriers to secure approval. If subletting is required, B & J manages vendor selection, timing, and quality checks — so customers never lose accountability or traceability.
Customer Experience & Transparency
B & J pairs technical rigor with customer support: photo and scan logs, clear explanations of required procedures, rental coordination, and shuttle service while repairs proceed. This transparency reassures customers that repairs are complete — cosmetically and electronically — before a vehicle is returned.
“A reset is not a recalibration. Our customers depend on these systems to protect their families — we treat ADAS calibration with the same rigor as structural repairs,” said a B & J Body Shop spokesperson.
