Crown Collision Solutions in the News

I was recently featured on the glassBYTEs e-newsletter talking about a Mazda Surround View (360 View) Camera Calibration that we performed as well as a brief idea on where I believe the future of calibrations is headed. Check out the article below!

ADAS Calibrations

All OE manufacturer repair procedures require vehicles to be scanned and re-scanned before and after the repairs are completed. Many auto repair shops and collision shops will utilize a diagnostic scan tool to make sure a vehicle they repair leaves their shop with no diagnostic trouble codes (commonly known as DTC’s). These are codes and/or messages describing an issue across a certain module, system, or network in the vehicle. Typically, a clean diagnostic scan means a job well done and the repair shop can have clarity in knowing that the vehicle has no issues.

ADAS: The Importance of Calibrations and Knowing When Calibrations are Needed

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, commonly referred to as ADAS systems, are the features of the future for the automotive industry. These systems are an additional tool for drivers to better operate vehicle’s by helping to drive and park the vehicle with a number of cameras and sensors. It is vitally important to make sure these ADAS systems are properly aligned and calibrated when the OEM manufacturer says they should be. Below Crown Collision Solutions wants to highlight the times most makes/models require specific calibrations.
