Jamie Shackelford, Caliber’s Vice President of Marketing, shares the industry perspective on how advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, are impacting every aspect of the repair process. In just 2 minutes, Jamie highlights some of the tightened tolerances that impact both the shop floor and the paint booth, as well as trigger new phases in the repair process. She also addresses how OEM's meticulous specifications keep ADAS performing correctly.

Did you know that ADAS calibrations can "complete" without errors or trouble codes, but still be incorrectly performed? Accurate system diagnostics and calibration have become critical in the automotive industry, due to the increasing complexity of modern vehicles. The sensitive systems can be compromised in a collision. After they are repaired or replaced, calibration is required to validate that the systems are performing and communicating with one another correctly. BUT scanning tools may only be able to determine if the calibration steps were completed. They cannot always account for environmental factors that impact calibration. Some of these environmental factors include: ?? Unlevel or sloped flooring ?? Vehicle weight not at factory defaults, potentially caused by objects left in the car or trunk or an unfilled gas tank ?? Vehicle not at proper ride height, impacted by incorrectly inflated tires, modifications to the suspension, lift kits and more ?? Improper lighting, including outdoor lighting and certain types of LEDs In our recent Caliber Insights article, we analyze and diagram a test done by American Honda Motor Co. where a Honda Civic’s AEB systems were calibrated both correctly and incorrectly, and what went wrong when the calibration wasn’t done to Honda’s specifications.

This Valentine's Day, Caliber had the privilege of celebrating yet another major milestone. In Suffolk, VA a U.S. Navy Petty Officer received the 600th vehicle gifted by Caliber Collision in partnership with the NABC Recycled Rides? program. This deserving mother was nominated by MVP - Merging Vets & Players and now will be able to overcome everyday tasks that were made difficult without reliable transportation. This timely gift will be providing Petty Officer Cleary with peace of mind, independence and the ability to spend more quality time with her son. The vehicle, a 2019 Kia Sorento donated by GEICO, was restored by Caliber Collision technicians in Suffolk that volunteered their personal time and skills to help make this milestone gifting possible.
