What is in your car
Many newer cars have cameras and radar for features like lane warning, parking sensors and automatic braking. They are often in the bumpers, mirrors and windshield, which are the parts most repaired after an accident.
Why a repair can affect them
These systems are set up to look at the road from an exact position. After some repairs they may need to be checked, or calibrated, so they point where they should. Your owner's manual or the dealer can tell you what your car has.
How we handle it
Questions to ask any shop
Ask:
- Does my car have cameras or sensors in the parts being repaired?
- Who checks or calibrates them, and where?
- Will I get paperwork showing it was done?
