Return On Investment (ROI) Calculator

Find out how profitable ADAS calibrations can be for your shop.

If you're wondering whether bringing ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibrations in-house makes sense for your business, our interactive ROI Calculator can help you find out.

With a few quick inputs, you can estimate your shop's potential annual revenue and payback period for ADAS calibration equipment, all based on your actual weekly car volume, average pricing, and calibration rates.

Why ADAS Calibrations Are a Smart Investment

As ADAS technology becomes standard on nearly every modern vehicle, collision and glass repair shops are seeing more vehicles that need camera, radar, and sensor recalibrations after repairs.

Each time a bumper, windshield, or sensor is removed or replaced, a calibration is required to restore OEM safety functions. That means more opportunities for your shop to handle the work internally rather than sending it elsewhere.

Bringing calibrations in-house can help your business:

• Retain more revenue: Keep calibration income within your shop instead of outsourcing.
• Reduce cycle times: Eliminate transport and scheduling delays.
• Improve customer satisfaction: Offer a complete repair from start to finish.
• Maintain control: Oversee the quality and accuracy of every calibration.

Real-World ROI: What Shops Are Seeing

Let's use an example of a mid-sized shop that repairs about 20 vehicles per week:

• Pre- and post-scans, wheel alignment checks: 20 per week
• Vehicles requiring ADAS calibration: ~40%
• Average calibration charge per vehicle: $350
• Average revenue per week (including scans and alignment verifications): around $8,000–$8,500
• Potential annual revenue: roughly $400,000+

Even smaller shops handling around 10 vehicles per week can often generate six figures annually from calibrations and related scanning services.

Use the ROI Calculator to plug in your own numbers and see what the opportunity looks like for your shop.

How Long Does It Take to See ROI?

ADAS calibration systems can pay for themselves faster than many shop owners expect. Depending on your equipment investment, labor costs, and weekly volume, many shops reach break-even within 6–12 months of regular use.

For example:

• At 10 calibrations per week, you could recover your investment within the first year.
• At 20 calibrations per week, your return could be several times your initial cost.

And with financing options available, you can start generating new revenue without a major upfront cash outlay.
