What Insurance Adjusters Expect in ADAS Calibration Reports and How to Deliver It Every Time

Insurance adjusters don’t just want documentation, they expect it to be clear, complete, and compliant. With Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) becoming the norm, the pressure on collision repair shops to provide transparent calibration reports is higher than ever.

The good news? Shops using 1 Source ADAS are not only meeting these expectations,  they’re exceeding them.


Why ADAS Reporting Matters More Than Ever

ADAS calibration isn’t optional. After a collision, even something as simple as replacing a windshield or removing a bumper can require recalibrating sensors and cameras. When adjusters review your repair file, they want to see:

  • Proof the calibration was necessary
  • Detailed procedures that follow OEM guidelines
  • Time-stamped technician data
  • Audit-ready documentation

Missing any of this? Your claim could be delayed, disputed, or denied.


Common Documentation Mistakes That Hurt Shops

Many shops unknowingly submit vague or incomplete reports. These mistakes lead to:

  • Slower reimbursements
  • Increased supplement calls
  • Poor DRP performance ratings
  • Reduced trust with insurance partners

In multi-shop operations, one location’s inconsistency can damage relationships across the entire business.


How 1 Source ADAS Solves the Problem

Our AI-powered system automatically:

  • Analyzes repair estimates to identify required calibrations
  • Generates clear reports with linked OEM procedures
  • Tags the responsible technician
  • Formats everything in a way insurance carriers love

No more guesswork. No more missed steps. Just fast, clear reporting that supports your claim from start to finish.


Proof in Performance

One DRP-focused MSO in the Southeast reported:

  • 27% fewer supplement-related delays
  • 2-day faster average payment turnaround
  • 15% improvement in DRP evaluation scores

Their secret? Standardized calibration documentation using 1 Source ADAS.


Final Word

Insurance adjusters aren’t the enemy. They’re the gatekeepers to your shop’s profitability. When you deliver exactly what they need the first time, everyone wins.


1 Source ADAS helps you stay compliant, get paid faster, and build stronger DRP partnerships.
