What is ADAS recalibration? Modern vehicles are packed with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): Things like lane-keeping sensors, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning. These systems are all designed to keep you safe, but after even a minor crash or repair, they need to be recalibrated to make sure they work properly again.
MJB Bodyworks in Maroochydore is one of the few workshops on the Sunshine Coast with a dedicated in-house ADAS recalibration bay. That means your car’s safety systems are reset correctly, without delays or outsourcing, so you can drive away with confidence. We’re not the middleman, we’re a one-stop shop for your smash repairs.
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. It’s the technology that helps prevent accidents and protect you on the road (and makes those sometimes-annoying beeps!).
These features rely on cameras, radars, and sensors which need to be perfectly aligned. If they’re even slightly off, they may not work as intended. And if they’re misaligned it could put you and your passengers at risk.
Even a small panel repair, windscreen replacement, or bumper adjustment can affect your car’s sensors. Without recalibration, those systems might give false warnings or, worse, fail to warn you at all.
That’s why most car manufacturers now require ADAS recalibration after any structural repair. It’s not just a technical step (and it’s not even optional). It’s about ensuring your vehicle’s safety systems will respond in a critical moment.
And here’s something most drivers don’t realise: if your car needs ADAS recalibration, it isn’t optional: insurers are obligated to cover it as part of a safe and complete repair. At MJB Bodyworks, we make sure it’s done properly, so you’re not left fighting for approvals or driving away in a car that isn’t fully road-ready.
And it’s all done in-house!

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) uses cameras, radars and sensors. Recalibration aligns these systems correctly after a crash or repair, so they work as intended.
After a collision or smash repair, windscreen replacement, bumper or grille repairs, suspension changes, wheel alignment, or if your vehicle shows a system fault warning.
Typically a few hours in our purpose-built calibration bay, depending on the vehicle and the repairs performed.
If recalibration is required by the manufacturer after a repair, insurers are expected to cover it as part of the claim. We ensure it’s included so nothing critical is missed.
To delay is unsafe. Misaligned sensors may fail to warn you in critical moments. We recommend recalibration immediately after relevant repairs.
Your safety systems may not work as intended, which can put you and your passengers at risk. That’s why we perform all recalibrations in-house to factory standards.
