How to Spot a Real ADAS Expert (and Avoid the Ones Who Just Think They Are)

So after all that, here’s the big question:How do you know who’s legit?

Because everyone calls themselves an expert now.But if you want to spot the real deal, look for these green flags:

Real ADAS Experts Will:

Start by scanning AND inspecting the estimate

Know which modules were affected — and why

Pull OEM procedures, not just plug in a tool

Refuse to calibrate in non-compliant environments

Provide full documentation of pre- and post-calibration

Explain what was done in plain English

They’ll also be humble about it. Because the real ones know how much there is still to learn in this field.

What They Won’t Do:

Say, “You don’t need that” without proof

Calibrate in a gravel lot because it’s “says it calibrated"

Hand you a bill with no scan reports

Run a calibration just because a tablet said “start”


Final Word: Real Experts Know the Risks — and Respect the Process

They’re not the cheapest.They’re not always the fastest.

But they’re the ones you trust when the job isn’t about getting it done — it’s about getting it right.

Because with ADAS, there are no shortcuts.

Just outcomes.
