Bay Area ADAS Calibration

TechZoneAuto has been serving the needs of East Bay drivers for over two decades. During that time we have become the premier ADAS calibration facility in the entire San Francisco Bay Area. Our Concord location offers calibrations to the general public, though the majority of the ADAS calibrations we perform are done for the hundreds of local collision shops who rely on us to perform complex calibrations to satisfy manufacturer technical specifications as well as insurance company requirements. At TechZoneAuto we have access to manufacturer information and special tools necessary to correctly perform ADAS calibrations for all makes and models currently in use. Even with years of experience, we continue to improve our calibration process, allowing us to provide highest quality service in a repeatable and predictable fashion. We plan each year, matching capacity to the predicted demand for calibrations, as well as technical and reporting demands placed on us by manufacturers and insuran ... read more

Modern vehicles are equipped with advanced safety systems like Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Keeping Assist, which utilize various sensors including cameras, radar, and occasionally lidar. However, the effectiveness of these systems is very much dependent on their accurate calibration. At our Concord ADAS calibration facility we can perform calibrations that fulfill both manufacture and insurance company requirements. Misalignments, even minor ones, can create problems. Collision prevention Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibration is essential and involves realigning sensors to meet manufacturer specifications. This process requires precise angles, distances, and reference points to ensure accurate assessments of speed, distance, and object positioning. Situations such as windshield replacements, bumper repairs, suspension work, or minor collisions can lead to slight shifts in sensor alignment, which may not be visibly apparent but can s ... read more

A 360-degree surround-view camera system is designed to give drivers confidence by providing a complete picture of what’s happening around their vehicle. From tight parking spaces to low-speed maneuvering, this feature plays a major role in everyday safety. However, the system can only work as intended when it is calibrated correctly. Precision is not optional—it's the foundation of how ADAS technology protects you. Our Concord, CA ADAS calibration facility is specially designed and equipped to perform calibrations to manufacturer standards. Correct calibration ensures that every camera mounted on the vehicle is aligned exactly to manufacturer specifications. These cameras don’t just display images; the system calculates distance, detect obstacles, and communicate with other safety systems like parking assist, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. Even a slight deviation in camera angle—often too small to see with the naked eye—can c ... read more

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) utilize a forward-facing camera, typically positioned near the rearview mirror, to detect lane markings and maintain vehicle centering. When functioning correctly, these systems are unobtrusive; however, malfunctions can have severe consequences. Thus, proper calibration of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) is critical for safety. Calibration involves accurately aligning the camera and sensors to ensure they perceive the road as intended by the manufacturer. Even minor changes in camera angle, such as those resulting from windshield replacement, front-end repairs, or suspension changes, can adversely affect system performance, underscoring the importance of maintaining optimal camera positioning. As a matter of fact, many manufacturers now require wheel alignment before ADAS calibration is performed, because ADAS calibration aligns sensors to the vehicle’s geometric centerline (thrust angle) – if the wheels are ... read more
