News

2nd November 2020 update:

Good news! We will remain open during this next phase of lockdown as we cannot work from home & lots of you will still be needing your vehicles maintained in order to get to work yourselves.

We are fully operational whilst conforming to COVID-19 compliant practice.

We fully understand that for some, this will be welcomed with open arms, while for others, you will not want to be having your vehicle worked on at this time. Both are absolutely fine.

Please take care & we look forward to seeing you all as soon as you wish to start booking back in.

A collection of our latest news and events, recent work, plus the odd bit of helpful advice!

Bosch Radar and Camera Calibration 

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is now fitted to not only high end vehicles but small city vehicles, as well modern everyday saloons and hatchbacks. The technology is fast evolving in the form of Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Breaking and many more. However, these systems often now need to be calibrated by means of static target boards, alignment lasers and dynamic test drives.

Below are a few examples why you would need to carry out the calibration on these systems:

  • If the vehicle has been in an accident and needs a replacement radar box
  • The replacement of a windscreen
  • If a system has lost its calibration
  • When replacing faulty units
  • When cruise control systems no longer work
  • If distance measurement to the car ahead is incorrect
