ADAS Calibration in Colonial Heights and Richmond: What You Need to Know

Why Local Calibration Shops Matter

ADAS calibration is equipment-dependent and technician-dependent. Not every shop that replaces glass has the tools to calibrate the camera afterward. And not every shop that claims to calibrate has the right targets, the right scan tools, or the right space to do static calibration properly.

Static calibration requires a flat, level floor surface with specific lighting conditions and the right calibration target positioned at the exact distance specified by the manufacturer. This is not something you improvise in a parking lot. We have the setup. We''ve done it on dozens of vehicles across Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Ford, Chevy, and more.

What We See Most in the Richmond/Tri-Cities Area

The most common ADAS-equipped vehicles we see for calibration in Colonial Heights, Chester, Hopewell, and the Richmond south side:

• Toyota RAV4, Camry, Corolla (Toyota Safety Sense — most common)
• Honda CR-V, Civic, Accord (Honda Sensing)
• Subaru Outback, Forester, Crosstrek (EyeSight — dual-camera, more complex)
• Ford F-150, Escape (Ford Co-Pilot360)
• Chevrolet Silverado, Equinox (Chevy Safety Assist)

Subaru EyeSight is the one that trips up shops that don''t do this regularly. It uses two cameras side-by-side. Calibration requires both cameras to be aligned simultaneously to a specific target pair. Miss the specs and the entire EyeSight system stays deactivated.

What Calibration Costs

Calibration pricing depends on the vehicle and whether static or dynamic calibration is required. For most vehicles, calibration is $150–$300 as a standalone service. If you''re having a windshield replaced at the same time, calibration is included in the job — we don''t invoice it separately.

If you have comprehensive insurance coverage, ADAS calibration is typically covered as part of a glass claim. Most carriers in Virginia cover it. Tiffany handles the billing directly with the insurance company — you shouldn''t need to fight for reimbursement.
