You should be doing ADAS calibrations. True or false?
Making sense of a world of information interview with Ryan Gerber
Published Dec. 1, 2022 - As seen on Fender Bender Auto Body Repair Network

The majority of calibrations can be done in a space much smaller than you may think. So much has been written about ADAS the past few years that it’s like a lunch buffet:Shop owners may graze along, taking what they want and leaving the rest. And why not? With such a wide array of information, there’s something to suit every palate.
With ADAS so constantly in the air, standing back to gain a little perspective from time to time is a good idea. In this article, we’d like to discuss a number of common beliefs many collision shop owners hold about ADAS, and hopefully offer some helpful insight into where things stand and where they’re headed.
But here’s the spoiler: We think collision shops should give very strong consideration to doing ADAS work. In time, the market and your competitors may even make the choice for you.
