Unit F1 Castle Trading Estate, Priorslee, Telford, TF29NP, UK
Modern vehicles are equipped with an increasingly sophisticated suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), designed to enhance safety, support the driver, and prevent accidents. These include features such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, and traffic sign recognition. While these systems add enormous value to road safety, they rely heavily on precision-calibrated sensors, cameras, and radar units.
At Priorslee Motor Services in Telford, we specialise in professional ADAS diagnostics, calibration, and repair. Whether your vehicle has undergone a windscreen replacement, suspension work, or has simply triggered a warning light, our technicians are equipped to identify and resolve ADAS faults with accuracy and manufacturer-compliant procedures. Based at Unit F1 Castle Trading Estate, Priorslee, we are trusted by private motorists and commercial fleets across Telford, Shifnal, Oakengates, Donnington, and the wider Shropshire region for reliable, up-to-date ADAS support.
ADAS isn’t a future technology—it’s part of everyday driving. Let our local experts ensure yours is working exactly as it should.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are now found on most modern vehicles, especially those registered from 2016 onwards. These systems use a network of sensors, cameras, and radar modules to monitor your vehicle’s surroundings and either alert you to hazards or actively intervene to avoid collisions. In many cases, they’re also integrated into functions such as parking assistance, traffic jam support, and semi-autonomous driving features.
As ADAS becomes more common across all car classes—from executive saloons and electric SUVs to compact hatchbacks—drivers need to understand that these systems require precise calibration to function correctly. Even minor disruptions, such as hitting a pothole, replacing a bumper, or changing a tyre size, can throw these systems out of alignment. The result can be anything from false alerts and poor responsiveness to complete system shutdowns.
Maintaining your ADAS setup in perfect working order is not just a technical requirement—it’s a crucial aspect of road safety. If these systems are not functioning accurately, your vehicle may not react appropriately in an emergency, putting you and others at risk. Moreover, incorrect calibration can lead to MOT failures or insurance complications in the event of an accident.
ADAS calibration is the process of fine-tuning the onboard sensors and cameras so they interpret data with precision. Every manufacturer has specific tolerances for sensor position and alignment, often down to millimetres. Calibration typically becomes necessary after:
At Priorslee Motor Services, our technicians use specialist diagnostic equipment capable of reading, adjusting, and validating ADAS sensor inputs. We follow manufacturer protocols to ensure that recalibration is performed to factory-standard accuracy. Depending on the system and vehicle, we may conduct static calibration using advanced targets and alignment jigs, or dynamic calibration performed on the road under specific conditions.
Our investment in ADAS tools and training ensures that your car’s safety features function precisely as designed. After calibration, we complete a full system report and offer documentation for your records or for your insurer if required.
We recommend a full ADAS inspection and calibration if your vehicle has recently undergone any of the following:
Even routine events like minor knocks or tracking adjustments can impact your ADAS alignment. If you’re unsure, our team will be happy to inspect and advise.
We are one of the few independent garages in Telford with dedicated ADAS calibration equipment and trained technicians. Our team stays up to date with evolving vehicle technologies through ongoing training and manufacturer updates. As a result, we can work confidently on a wide range of vehicles from leading brands including Audi, BMW, Ford, Mercedes, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, and Nissan.
Unlike national chains or body shops that outsource calibration, we handle everything in-house. This means faster turnaround times, better quality control, and full accountability for the service we provide.
We don’t believe in unnecessary repairs or vague diagnostics. If your ADAS is working correctly, we’ll confirm it. If not, we’ll explain exactly what’s needed, why it’s important, and what it will cost. Every customer leaves our garage with the knowledge and documentation they need to feel confident in their vehicle’s safety systems.
While ADAS systems are not yet fully integrated into MOT testing regulations, their relevance is growing. A vehicle that displays active warning lights on the dashboard—particularly those related to safety systems—can fail its MOT. Likewise, a malfunctioning emergency braking system or blind spot monitor may impact insurance coverage if the feature was listed as functional on your policy.
More importantly, a car with compromised ADAS calibration may not respond as expected in critical driving situations. Accurate calibration isn’t optional—it’s essential.
From individual motorists to local fleets, Priorslee Motor Services has become a go-to destination for drivers who value precision, integrity, and modern expertise. Our ADAS services are regularly used by body repair centres, windscreen fitters, and insurance networks seeking reliable calibration partners in the region.
We’re proud to support drivers throughout Telford, including Priorslee, Donnington, Shifnal, Muxton, Trench, Oakengates, and Newport. We also welcome customers from further afield.
