ADAS is Changing the Insurance Landscape

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are transforming the way we drive—and how insurance companies assess risk. These safety technologies have been shown to reduce accident rates, making them an attractive feature for insurers. However, ADAS also comes with increased complexity and cost when it comes to vehicle repairs.

Many insurers now factor ADAS features into their pricing models. Vehicles equipped with systems like lane-keeping assist or automatic braking may benefit from lower premiums due to reduced risk. But there's another side to this story.

Repair Costs and Insurance Claims

ADAS-equipped vehicles require specialist equipment and expertise to repair and recalibrate. If your vehicle is involved in a collision, even a minor one, the sensors or cameras may need recalibration or replacement. These repairs can be costly—and your insurer will expect proper documentation to validate the work.

Failing to recalibrate these systems properly may:

• Void your warranty
• Compromise your claim
• Leave you liable in the event of an accident

Calibration and Insurance Compliance

At National ADAS Calibrations, we understand how important it is to maintain proper documentation for every calibration job. We provide comprehensive reports that include:

• Calibration dates
• Systems checked
• Diagnostic scan results
• OEM procedure compliance

These records not only give you peace of mind but also support your insurance claims and compliance obligations.

Don’t Get Caught Out

Many drivers are unaware that ADAS calibration is necessary after something as simple as a windscreen replacement. If your repair shop doesn’t inform your insurer that calibration was completed, it can lead to delays or denials in claims.
