One-Day ADAS & CarCal Collision Pro Training for Collision Repair Shops
Build a stronger, shop-focused understanding of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, calibration requirements, equipment, and the steps that help keep ADAS work moving through your repair process.
This one-day class is held at the Dynamic Calibrations facility in Tempe, Arizona, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. It is designed for collision repair owners, managers, estimators, technicians, and other team members who want a practical understanding of ADAS calibration and related processes.
Tuition: $495 (payment is collected 2 weeks prior)

What you'll learn
Training emphasis is on understanding the systems, recognizing potential calibration needs, knowing the information and conditions required, and coordinating the work with vehicle-specific service procedures.
1. ADAS fundamentals and system identification
- What ADAS is and how driver-assistance systems work together
- Common features: adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and parking assistance
- Common sensor locations, and how collision damage, glass replacement, alignment, and component removal can affect them
- Warning indicators, diagnostic trouble codes, and system status
2. OEM research and calibration requirements
- Why vehicle-specific OEM service information is the starting point
- How to research repair procedures, prerequisites, and calibration requirements
- Operations that may trigger inspection, aiming, initialization, or calibration
- Why requirements vary by year, make, model, equipment, and repair history
3. Calibration types, equipment, and shop setup
- Static, dynamic, and combined calibration procedures
- Targets, fixtures, scan tools, measurement tools, and vehicle interface equipment
- Floor space, lighting, target placement, measurements, and environmental considerations
- Vehicle preparation, including tire pressure, fuel/load considerations, and other OEM prerequisites
- When mobile calibration may be suitable, and when an in-shop or controlled environment is needed
4. Camera calibration
- Forward-facing windshield camera systems
- Lane support and forward-collision camera functions
- Windshield replacement and collision repair considerations
- Static targets, dynamic road procedures, and combined processes
5. Radar, blind spot, and surround-view systems
- Front radar and adaptive cruise / collision avoidance systems
- Rear radar and blind spot monitoring sensors
- Sensor mounting, brackets, bumper covers, and related repair considerations
- 360-degree / surround-view camera systems and image alignment
- Parking sensors and related driver-assistance components
- If time allows, the class will also review 360 camera / AVM systems and calibrations
6. Diagnostics, module programming, and verification
- Pre- and post-repair scanning and diagnostic workflow
- DTCs and system communication concerns
- Module replacement setup, programming, coding, variant configuration, and initialization concepts
- Distinguishing a calibration issue from a wiring, mounting, alignment, or component fault
- Post-procedure scans, road tests where required, and system verification
7. Documentation, estimating, and repair workflow
- Identifying potential ADAS operations during blueprinting and estimate review
- Coordinating calibration timing with body, paint, glass, alignment, and mechanical work
- Communicating requirements and findings with estimators, technicians, insurers, and customers
- Understanding calibration reports and maintaining repair documentation
- Reducing avoidable delays through early planning and clear handoffs
The class can include demonstrations and discussion of calibration equipment, scan-tool workflow, vehicle setup, target positioning, diagnostic information, and documentation. Where the class format, available vehicles, and equipment permit, topics can be reinforced with practical demonstrations.
We can also review the role of software-assisted estimate review, including how tools such as CarCal Collision Pro can help flag potential ADAS-related operations for further vehicle-specific research. Software flags are a starting point — not a replacement for OEM service information or technician verification. Course emphasis can be adjusted to the experience level and needs of the participating shop.
Who should attend
- Collision repair owners and general managers
- Estimators and blueprinting teams
- Body and mechanical technicians
- Production managers and repair planners
- Glass and calibration coordinators
- Anyone responsible for identifying, scheduling, or documenting ADAS-related repair operations

An important note
This program is intended to provide practical education and a better understanding of collision repair ADAS workflows. It does not replace manufacturer-specific service information, required OEM training, professional qualifications, or vehicle-specific calibration procedures. Actual calibration requirements, and the ability to perform a procedure, must always be confirmed for the individual vehicle, repair, and work environment.
