High-Tech Healing – Calibrating the 2026 Fleet

It’s 2026, and the days of “hammer and dolly” bodywork are long gone. Today’s vehicles—especially the latest Chevrolet EVs and SUVs—are essentially rolling supercomputers. At Jerry’s Collision Center, we’ve invested heavily in the specialized equipment required to repair these modern marvels.

The Rise of ADAS

Most vehicles on the road today are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This includes your lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. These systems rely on cameras and radar sensors hidden behind your bumper, windshield, and side mirrors.

When you get into even a minor fender bender, these sensors can be knocked out of alignment by a fraction of a millimeter. If they aren’t recalibrated with precision tools, your safety features may fail when you need them most—or worse, trigger unexpectedly.

Our Calibration Process

At Jerry’s, we don’t just “fix the dent.” Our process includes:

• Pre-Repair Scanning: We plug into your car’s “brain” to see what the sensors are reporting before we touch a bolt.

• Structural Restoration: Using factory specifications to ensure every panel is back to its original position.

• Post-Repair Recalibration: We use specialized targets and lasers to ensure your cameras see the road exactly as they should.

When you choose a collision center in 2026, you aren’t just looking for a painter; you’re looking for a technician who understands software as well as they understand steel.
