Hit a deer near Grand Rapids and just got the car back from the body shop? On most late-model cars, the radar for adaptive cruise and automatic braking sits behind the bumper or grille, right where a deer hits, and the camera sits behind the windshield. Even after a clean repair, both can end up aimed slightly off. We calibrate them at your home or office, following your maker's procedure, with a written report. Send your VIN and repair notes for a quote. Kent County had more deer crashes than any Michigan county in 2024.
We calibrate eligible radar and cameras on cars, SUVs and trucks at your Grand Rapids home or office after repairs.
We provide calibration services only. We do not perform mechanical repairs, body work, or sensor replacement.
When Does a Deer Strike
Need Calibration?
Whenever a sensor, or what it's mounted to, may have moved in the hit. The maker's procedure decides exactly when.
After Windshield Replacement
A deer that rolls onto the hood can crack the windshield. On most newer vehicles the forward camera is mounted to that glass, so once a new windshield is fitted, the camera has to be calibrated to its new position before you rely on it.
Collision or Fender-Bender
The bumper cover, grille and the brackets behind them usually take the hit. A radar sensor mounted there can end up a few degrees off, even after a clean repair.
Suspension or Wheel Alignment Work
A hard strike can knock the alignment out too. Once the alignment is corrected, the camera and radar may need calibrating again.
After Sensor or Camera Replacement
If the strike destroyed a radar unit or camera, a qualified repair facility installs and programs the new part. We calibrate it afterward so it's aimed where the maker specifies.

Types of ADAS Calibration
We Offer
Your vehicle's maker decides which calibration method its sensors need after a repair.
Static ADAS Calibration
Targets are placed at measured distances in front of the parked vehicle on level ground, with clear space ahead. A garage or a flat parking lot often works. We confirm the space at your Grand Rapids location before the visit.
Dynamic ADAS Calibration
Done on the road. The vehicle is driven at set speeds on roads with clear lane markings while the sensors relearn their aim. Snow-covered lines can delay it.
Dual ADAS Calibration
Some vehicles need a static setup followed by a road drive. Both stages must be completed before the calibration record is finalized.
ADAS Calibration Near Grand Rapids
Kent County recorded 2,097 deer crashes in 2024, the most of any Michigan county, and November alone saw 10,017 statewide, FOX 2 Detroit reported. We calibrate across Grand Rapids once repairs are done. At dawn and dusk, scan the roadside, use high beams and brake rather than swerve.

Grand Rapids Calibration Quote & Timing
Your quote depends on the vehicle and the sensors involved. A deer strike may affect both the radar and the camera, which can mean two procedures.
Vehicle year make and model- Calibration type (static, dynamic, or dual ADAS calibration)
- OEM calibration requirements
- System complexity and the number of sensors involved
Timing also varies. It depends on the vehicle, the methods required, any fault codes the pre-scan turns up and conditions on the day. If the scan shows a sensor fault calibration can't fix, we stop and tell you rather than calibrating a part that needs repair. You get an estimate after we review your VIN.
