ADAS calibration pricing in the UK varies depending on the service type, the number of systems involved, and the vehicle. At ADAS Line, we publish fixed pricing with no hidden fees — what you see is what you pay.
This guide breaks down the costs, explains what is included, and helps you understand why prices differ between providers.
Unlike many automotive services, ADAS calibration pricing is relatively straightforward when a provider is transparent about it. The main cost driver is which system or systems need calibrating — not the vehicle brand.
We charge fixed prices for each calibration type: Windscreen Calibration (forward-facing camera) from £199. Radar/Sensor Calibration (front or rear radar, blind spot, parking) from £349. Collision Calibration (multi-system after accident repair) from £349. Full System Reset (complete ADAS diagnostic and all systems) from £499.
All prices include VAT, a full diagnostic scan, and a calibration certificate. There are no call-out fees for workshop visits. Mobile calibration pricing may include a travel supplement depending on your location.
ADAS calibration pricing varies significantly across the industry for several reasons. Equipment cost is the primary factor: OEM-grade diagnostic systems and manufacturer-approved targets cost between £10,000 and £80,000. Technicians trained to use this equipment command specialist rates. Providers using generic equipment charge less but produce less reliable results.
Location also affects pricing — workshop-based calibration in central London may cost more than the same service in the Midlands. Always confirm what is included: a low headline price that excludes the diagnostic scan, the calibration certificate, or VAT may end up costing more than a transparent fixed price.
Many comprehensive insurance policies now cover ADAS calibration when it is required as part of a covered repair — most commonly after windscreen replacement or a collision. Contact your insurer before booking to confirm your coverage. We provide documentation that supports insurance claims.
If calibration is not covered by your policy, the cost is tax-deductible for business vehicles. For fleet operators and trade accounts, we offer volume pricing and consolidated invoicing.
Several factors can affect the total cost beyond the base calibration fee. If your vehicle requires both static and dynamic calibration (common on Volkswagen Group vehicles and some Mercedes models), the dynamic calibration adds time and therefore cost. Vehicles with multiple ADAS systems all requiring calibration after a collision will fall under Collision Calibration pricing.
If a fault is found during the diagnostic scan that requires parts or additional labour, this is quoted separately before any work proceeds. We never proceed with additional work without your approval.
Body shops, dealerships, and fleet operators processing multiple calibrations can benefit from trade pricing. Trade accounts receive priority booking, consolidated monthly invoicing, and dedicated account management.
For high-volume operators, we can discuss fixed-rate agreements per calibration type. Contact us to discuss trade account terms.
