Winter Driving Poses Increased Revenue Opportunities
For body shops, winter weather brings a predictable surge in repair volume. Department of Transportation data shows that nearly 25% of all weather-related collisions occur on icy, snowy, or slushy pavement. This seasonal uptick presents a significant opportunity to expand your ADAS calibration services and strengthen relationships with insurance partners.
With an increased volume of collision repairs comes a higher demand for rapid turnaround times. Your ability to efficiently handle ADAS calibration in-house can significantly impact cycle time and customer satisfaction during these peak periods. You need something a little more powerful than just a great cup of coffee in the morning.
Understanding ADAS Calibration Requirements for Winter Repairs
Modern vehicles arriving at your shop during winter months often require more than traditional collision repair services. ADAS calibration has become a critical component of complete repair procedures, particularly when dealing with winter-related damages:
- Front-end collisions often affect forward-facing cameras and radar sensors.
- Side impacts can compromise blind spot monitoring systems.
- Even minor fender benders may require recalibration of parking sensors and 360-degree cameras.
- Windshield replacements, common during winter, typically require forward-facing camera recalibration.
Insurance companies and fleet managers increasingly scrutinize proper ADAS calibration documentation. Ensuring these systems are correctly calibrated after repairs not only protects your shop from liability but also builds trust with major insurance partners.
