Chris Foley, Director of Training;Jerry Cathcart, Founder and Chief Operating Officer;Cliff Mayer, Chief Business Development Officer;Daryl Bennett, Chief Executive Officer Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control and automatic braking, have become standard in vehicles, playing a vital role in preventing accidents and ensuring road safety. But these complex systems still need to be precisely calibrated to ensure they perform as intended.
ADAS Solutions USA, offers a groundbreaking approach to ADAS calibration that prioritizes accuracy and places the customer at the center of its operations.
Our expertise allows us to navigate the complex digital landscape of modern vehicles
Its mission is to provide top-notch calibration services to collision centers and automotive repair businesses nationwide. As a B2B business, it emphasizes educating stakeholders about the benefits of prioritizing proper calibration methods.
“Many stakeholders don’t grasp the importance of proper calibrations or the differences between calibrating various manufacturers. For instance, calibrating an Audi is not the same as calibrating a Ford,” says Frank Phillips, vice president of strategy.
It actively bridges this knowledge gap by educating its partners, aiming to empower them with the information needed to better serve their customers. “We want to equip everyone involved in the repair process to understand that just because a dashboard warning light isn’t on, it doesn’t mean a vehicle is safe. The digital impact of a collision can be significant, and thorough research is essential,” states Jerry Cathcart, founder and chief operating officer.
Setting Industry Standards
There exists a blind spot regarding the intricacies of ADAS calibration and the risks associated with improper repairs. This has led to businesses attempting to perform calibration services from mobile units in environments that do not meet manufacturer standards. These calibrations often occur in parking lots or crowded repair centers, where surrounding objects can interfere with data exchange between the vehicle’s systems and their targets.
There is no established standard outlining best practices for collision repairs or windshield changes. OEMs are often reluctant to provide clear, concise guidance.
ADAS Solutions USA aims to counter this by providing clear, actionable information that adheres strictly to OEM guidelines, to ensure that every vehicle is repaired according to the highest safety standards.
“We must reevaluate what constitutes an acceptable calibration method and the necessary environment for these processes,” states Phillips.
Specialized Static Calibration Centers Nationwide to Enhance Precision and SafetyADAS components—whether cameras, sensors, radar or lidar—possess only a fundamental level of knowledge established by the manufacturer during assembly. These systems can learn effectively only within specific environments designed by the manufacturer. Recognizing the critical importance of these environments for accurate calibration, ADAS Solution USA has developed a network of static calibration centers nationwide.
The brick-and-mortar facilities, typically spanning more than 5,000 square feet, are equipped with level flooring and controlled lighting designed to meet the rigorous standards of original equipment manufacturers (OEM). Resembling technology equipment clean rooms, the static calibration centers allow vehicles to undergo calibrations without the distractions often encountered in traditional repair shops.
This commitment to detail sets ADAS Solutions USA apart. It underscores its dedication to safety.
“Just as students need a focused environment to learn effectively, vehicles require the right conditions to be calibrated properly. We eliminate distractions to ensure every vehicle is in the optimal learning environment,” says Phillips.
Advanced Technology and Comprehensive Training to Elevate Calibration Services
To complement its controlled environments, ADAS Solutions USA utilizes state-of-the-art tools and technologies. It uses a wide assortment of equipment for targeting and calibration, ensuring alignment with manufacturer service information. The firm always refers to manufacturer service information to verify the information in its equipment, ensuring procedures are accurately followed.
“Our expertise allows us to navigate the complex digital landscape of modern vehicles,” says Cathcart. The team of technicians understands the specific programming requirements for each component, ensuring proper functionality after repairs. As tools and technology rapidly evolve , ADAS Solutions USA invests in the best equipment available, enabling accurate and reliable calibration services.

To further enable accuracy, ADAS Solutions USA developed comprehensive training programs. Their technicians undergo extensive training that spans several levels and can take up to three years to complete. This commitment to education ensures that every technician is equipped with the skills to navigate the complexities of modern vehicle technology.
Strengthening Diagnostic Capabilities to Ensure Precision in Vehicle Calibration
ADAS Solutions USA trained technicians meticulously scan vehicles to identify the digital aspects that require attention.
They carefully assess diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) to determine whether they are directly related to the services performed during repairs or stem from historical issues.
The complexities involved in ADAS diagnostics and calibration was evident in a vehicle modified for a disabled owner. After a collision, a repair shop struggled to identify why the taillights malfunctioned. They lacked the expertise to trace the wiring schematics, so they brought the vehicle to ADAS Solutions USA for a thorough diagnosis.
Many stakeholders don’t grasp the importance of proper calibrations or the differences between calibrating various manufacturers. For instance, calibrating an Audi is not the same as calibrating a Ford
Upon inspection, the technicians discovered that the taillights were integrated with the rearview mirror wiring harness. A faulty connection in this harness was preventing the taillights from functioning correctly. This situation exemplifies the intricate relationships between various components in modern vehicles, highlighting the need for meticulous diagnostics and an understanding of manufacturer design.
Establishing 100 Calibration Centers Nationwide
Industry data shows a shortage of approximately 3,500 calibration centers in the U.S. to meet current demand. ADAS Solutions USA is working on aggressive expansion, aiming to establish static calibration centers across 100 locations in the coming years.
The growth strategy is rooted in a thorough understanding of market needs. Extensive research is conducted to identify regions where calibration services are most needed, prioritizing areas with high concentrations of collision centers first, but also considering the overall concentration of automotive repair in a broad scope too. Its dedication to maintaining high standards across all locations ensures that the quality of service remains consistent.
In addition to expansion, ADAS Solutions USA is committed to fostering collaboration within the automotive industry. The leadership team frequently engages with manufacturers and tool providers to share insights and improve calibration practices. Acting as a resource for collision centers and other repair businesses, the company aims to elevate industry standards.
“We want to be the go-to resource for the industry,” declares Phillips. “The reality is that education is the most incredible tool we have right now, and we focus on it.”
Its mission is clear. Deliver the highest quality, most efficient, and accurate resource for proper ADAS diagnosis, programming and calibration. Adhering to OEM requirements and procedures, ADAS Solutions USA ensures every vehicle repaired is put back on the road with critical ADAS components working as designed to meet the safety expectations of its customers.
ADAS Solutions USA is setting new benchmarks for excellence in the automotive industry through its commitment to education, controlled environments, advanced technology, and unwavering safety standards. As ADAS technology evolves, it is poised to lead the charge, ensuring that every vehicle on the road is calibrated with precision.
