Video: Post-Collision Calibrations Shops Can Perform In-House

Originally published by Fender Bender on April 10, 2025

Take a look at how shops are performing in-house ADAS calibrations using the Autel IA900 ADAS Calibration System.

In this Tech Tips, Keith Perkins dives into a post-collision radar calibration on a 2015 Audi A8L Quattro TDI. The video highlights how tools like the Autel IA900 ADAS calibration system can streamline in-house processes for modern collision shops. The repair in focus is relatively minor — a damaged trim piece on the front bumper — but even small incidents like these can shift radar sensors, prompting the need for ADAS calibration after bumper repair.

Perkins emphasizes the importance of relying on service information, especially since many vehicles won’t trigger a warning light or code when an ADAS sensor requires calibration. This makes in-house ADAS calibration tools essential for maintaining repair accuracy and reducing cycle times. As he walks through the Audi radar alignment procedure, Perkins also demonstrates how the IA900’s flexibility allows for calibrations to be done outside of the traditional alignment bay.

For any collision shop dealing with post-collision radar calibration, this video offers a practical, hands-on look at the calibration process using current technology. Watch the full video to understand how ADAS systems work, why calibrations are important, and how shops keep everything in-house for efficiency and accuracy.
