Christian’s is a AAA Approved Auto Repair Shop
October 15, 2025Today’s vehicles are smarter than ever. From cars that help you stay in your lane to systems that warn you about blind-spot traffic, modern vehicles have become rolling safety laboratories. At Christian’s Automotive, we’ve always believed in staying ahead of the curve—and that’s exactly why we’ve expanded our services with a brand-new Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Center right here in Albuquerque.
Since 1989, we’ve built our reputation on delivering honest, expert auto repair that keeps our community safe on the road. As vehicles have evolved, so have we. Our new ADAS Center represents our commitment to meeting the growing need for specialized safety system expertise in an age where technology and transportation intersect in increasingly complex ways.
What is ADAS?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems—or ADAS—are the collection of smart safety features that have become standard in many modern vehicles. Think of them as your car’s extra set of eyes and reflexes, working constantly to help prevent accidents and keep you safe.
These systems include features you might already rely on every day: lane-keeping assist that gently guides you back when you drift, adaptive cruise control that maintains safe following distances, blind-spot monitoring that alerts you to vehicles you can’t see, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and parking assistance. What once seemed like futuristic technology is now protecting millions of drivers across America—including right here on Albuquerque’s roads.
The sensors, cameras, and radar systems that power these features work together seamlessly, but only when they’re properly calibrated and functioning correctly. That’s where our expertise becomes essential.
Why Proper Calibration Matters
Here’s something many drivers don’t realize: even minor incidents can throw your ADAS systems out of alignment. A fender bender at a stoplight, a windshield replacement, or even routine suspension repairs can misalign the sensors and cameras that these systems depend on.
Think of it like getting your eyes checked. If your prescription is slightly off, you might not notice it immediately, but your vision isn’t performing at its best—and that could be dangerous in critical moments. The same principle applies to your vehicle’s safety systems.
When ADAS components aren’t calibrated to manufacturer specifications, the consequences can be serious. A forward collision warning system might fail to alert you in time. Lane-keeping assist could provide inaccurate guidance. Blind-spot monitoring might miss vehicles in adjacent lanes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, these systems save lives—but only when they’re working properly.
Precision isn’t just important; it’s mandatory. Each vehicle manufacturer has specific calibration requirements, and meeting those standards requires both specialized equipment and certified expertise. That’s not something you can achieve with standard shop tools or guesswork.
Our ADAS Center Capabilities
Christian’s Automotive’s new ADAS Center brings together everything needed to service modern vehicle safety systems correctly. Here’s what makes our facility unique in the Albuquerque auto repair landscape:
State-of-the-Art Calibration Equipment
We’ve invested in the latest diagnostic and calibration tools that meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards. This means we can service your vehicle using the same precision standards as the dealership—but with the honest, personal service you’ve come to expect from us.
Certified Technicians
Our team has undergone specialized training in ADAS diagnostics and calibration. We stay current with manufacturer updates and industry best practices because technology never stands still, and neither do we.
Indoor and Outdoor Calibration
Some ADAS systems require controlled indoor environments for calibration, while others need outdoor road testing under various lighting conditions. Our facility accommodates both, ensuring accurate calibration regardless of what your vehicle needs.
OEM-Grade Diagnostics
Before any calibration work begins, we perform comprehensive diagnostics to identify exactly what your system needs. This ensures we address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Whether you drive a domestic vehicle or an import, a family sedan or a commercial fleet vehicle, our ADAS Center has you covered. We service all makes and models equipped with advanced driver assistance systems.
Our services include camera calibration, radar sensor alignment, system diagnostics and troubleshooting, post-collision ADAS verification, and pre- and post-windshield replacement calibration. Each service follows manufacturer specifications precisely, giving you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your safety systems are performing exactly as designed.
