Fender-Benders Are Getting Expensive: The ADAS Calibration Boom

Summary: ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) are increasingly sought after by car buyers but come with expensive repair and recalibration costs, expected to rise significantly by 2028 due to their prevalence. The average calibration fee is around $500, and repairs are complicated by a lack of specialised tools, leading to increased insurance premiums and longer vehicle downtimes.
