ADAS Calibration by Monterey Coastal Scanning
Precision for the Safety Technology You Rely On
After an accident, some of the most important repair work involves technology you cannot see.
Your vehicle’s cameras and radar sensors help support features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. When collision damage or repairs affect those components, manufacturer-required calibration helps bring them back into alignment with factory specifications.
Monterey Coastal Scanning provides ADAS calibration in Monterey, California, from its dedicated space on CARSTAR Robert’s Collision’s one-acre lot.
We focus on the precision behind your vehicle’s advanced driver assistance systems—helping complete an important part of the repair process with care and attention to manufacturer requirements.
What Is ADAS Calibration?
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: vehicle technologies designed to support driver awareness and help reduce collision risks.
Depending on your vehicle’s equipment, these features may include:
- Automatic emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
- Forward collision warning
- Lane departure warning and lane keep assist
- Blind spot monitoring
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- Parking assistance and surround-view cameras
ADAS calibration establishes the proper reference points or alignment for applicable cameras and sensors according to the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures.
That precision matters. Your vehicle’s safety technology relies on accurate information about the road, nearby vehicles, and its surroundings.
Why Calibration Matters After an Accident
A collision can damage or shift a camera, sensor, mounting bracket, or the body structure supporting it. Repairing or replacing those components may also trigger a calibration requirement.
The visible repairs tell only part of the story.
A newly installed bumper or windshield may look exactly as it should, while the technology behind it still needs manufacturer-specified calibration.
At Monterey Coastal Scanning, our work focuses on helping restore the applicable ADAS components to the specifications established for your vehicle.
When Might Your Vehicle Need Calibration?
Calibration may be required after certain repairs or component replacements, including:
- Windshield replacement involving a mounted camera
- Bumper or grille repairs affecting radar sensors
- Camera, radar sensor, or mounting bracket replacement
- Mirror replacement involving relevant cameras or sensors
- Structural repairs affecting sensor mounting locations
- Certain suspension, steering, or wheel alignment procedures
The requirement depends on your vehicle’s year, make, model, equipment, and the work performed. Manufacturer repair information determines which procedures apply.
Manufacturer Specifications Guide the Work
Modern vehicles do not share one universal calibration procedure.
Different manufacturers—and different models from the same manufacturer—can require different equipment, setup conditions, measurements, and verification steps.
Monterey Coastal Scanning uses specialized calibration technology and manufacturer-guided procedures to address the requirements of the vehicle being serviced.
Our approach centers on a straightforward principle: precision begins with the correct procedure for your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does every accident require ADAS calibration?
No. Calibration requirements depend on the vehicle, the damage, and the repairs performed. The manufacturer’s procedures determine when calibration is necessary.
Is a diagnostic scan the same as calibration?
No. A diagnostic scan retrieves information from vehicle control modules, including fault codes. Calibration establishes required reference points or alignment for applicable systems. One does not automatically replace the other.
How long does ADAS calibration take?
Timing varies by vehicle, the systems involved, and the required preparation and procedures. Contact us with your vehicle and repair details to discuss scheduling.
Can you calibrate every vehicle?
Calibration availability depends on the vehicle and its equipment. Contact Monterey Coastal Scanning with your year, make, model, and repair information to confirm compatibility.
Is Monterey Coastal Scanning part of CARSTAR Robert’s Collision?
Monterey Coastal Scanning is a separate business that rents space on CARSTAR Robert’s Collision’s one-acre lot. Our on-site partnership allows the businesses to coordinate collision repair and ADAS calibration more efficiently.
How does having calibration on-site benefit customers?
