carcal adas calibration
built for faster setup
CarCal is a purpose-built ADAS calibration system designed for auto glass shops, mobile calibration technicians, collision centers, and independent repair operations. The CarCal Quick Cal 5.0 is a portable fast-deploy recalibration system complete with stand, bumper jigs, targets, and target case that enables one technician to complete a full ADAS calibration in record time.
The CarCal Quick Cal 5.0 combines the stand, positioning equipment, and calibration targets needed to create a more efficient camera recalibration workflow. The system works alongside compatible ADAS diagnostic tablets and software, giving shops more flexibility when building or expanding an ADAS service program.
CarCal is available through Agile Truck & Auto Tools with full training and technical support included. Triad helps buyers match the CarCal equipment to their existing tools, shop space, technicians, and calibration volume.
What Is CarCal and What Does It Do?
CarCal is an ADAS target positioning and calibration system used to support static camera recalibration procedures. It helps technicians position targets accurately according to the instructions supplied by their diagnostic software and the vehicle manufacturer.
CarCal equipment is designed to reduce the space, setup time, and equipment handling commonly associated with larger calibration frames. That makes it a practical option for shops that need ADAS capability but cannot dedicate a permanent bay to a full-size system.

System Features and Capabilities
The CarCal calibration system gives shops a portable equipment path for supported forward-facing camera calibration procedures. Its design focuses on positioning accuracy, portability, storage, and compatibility with established ADAS diagnostic workflows.
Support for Common Forward-Facing ADAS Camera Systems
CarCal equipment can support applicable calibration procedures for camera-based systems associated with functions such as:
Vehicle coverage and available functions depend on the diagnostic platform, targets, vehicle configuration, and OEM procedure.
LIGHTWEIGHT, COLLAPSIBLE DESIGN
The stand is designed to break down for transportation and storage. Shops can bring the equipment into the bay when needed, then move it out of the way when the calibration is complete. For mobile calibration businesses, that means the system can travel between repair facilities, glass shops, dealerships, and customer locations without requiring a permanently installed frame.
TARGET POSITIONING BUILT FOR OEM-SPECIFIED ADAS RECALIBRATION
ADAS camera calibration depends on placing the correct target at the distance, height, angle, and centerline specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Even a small positioning error can change how the camera interprets lane markings, vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects ahead.
The CarCal calibration system gives technicians a repeatable process for establishing the vehicle centerline and positioning supported targets in relation to the vehicle. Bumper-mounted jigs and measurement components help reduce guesswork during setup, while the diagnostic software provides the vehicle-specific values and procedure.
Technicians must still confirm floor level, tire pressure, vehicle loading, ride height, wheel alignment, steering position, lighting, and other OEM prerequisites before calibration. The equipment supports accurate placement, but the repair remains dependent on following the complete manufacturer procedure.
WORKS ALONGSIDE LEADING ADAS DIAGNOSTIC PLATFORMS
CarCal does not replace the diagnostic tablet. It works with compatible ADAS-capable software that determines vehicle coverage, identifies the required target, displays positioning measurements, initiates the calibration, and records the result. This gives shops more control over how they build the system. A business already using a compatible Autel, Launch, Torque Link, or other ADAS platform may be able to add CarCal as the target-positioning component instead of purchasing an entirely separate closed ecosystem. Triad helps verify the full workflow before the equipment reaches the bay. That review can include:
Matching these pieces before purchase helps prevent a shop from owning a calibration stand that cannot complete the vehicles entering the bay.

ADAS Calibration System
The CarCal Quick Cal 5.0 is designed for shops that need a portable alternative to a large, permanently staged calibration frame.
It gives technicians a compact target positioning system that can be deployed when a calibration job enters the shop and stored when the bay needs to return to general repair, glass replacement, or collision work.
Who Is CarCal Quick Cal 5.0 Built For?
CarCal Quick Cal 5.0 is built for automotive businesses that need a portable, repeatable process for supported camera recalibrations.
Why ADAS Recalibration Is Required
After Windshield Replacement
Many forward-facing ADAS cameras are mounted to or positioned near the windshield. Removing and installing the glass can affect camera position, mounting angle, or the relationship between the camera and the road.
When the manufacturer specifies recalibration, completing the correct procedure helps restore the system’s intended operating reference.
Small Camera Position Changes Matter
ADAS cameras interpret lane markings, vehicles, signs, pedestrians, and road features at a distance. A small physical change near the windshield can affect where the system believes those objects are located. Calibration helps the system relearn the required reference points after qualifying service or repair work.
The OEM Procedure Determines the Requirement
Calibration requirements vary by manufacturer, vehicle, system, and repair event. Shops should verify the OEM procedure instead of relying on a general rule or dashboard warning. Some vehicles require static calibration, some require dynamic calibration, and some require both.
Liability and Legal Risk
Uncalibrated ADAS systems are a safety and legal risk for the repairing shop. A completed calibration report gives the shop a record of the procedure, vehicle condition, scan results, and outcome. That documentation supports quality control, customer communication, insurer discussions, and the shop’s internal repair file.
ADAS Work Is Becoming Part of Everyday Repair
Forward-facing cameras and other driver-assistance systems are now common across many vehicle segments. Glass, collision, alignment, suspension, and body work increasingly intersect with calibration requirements. Shops that build the process now are better positioned to keep more repair steps under one roof.

CarCal Compared with a
Full-Size ADAS Calibration Frame
The right calibration system depends on vehicle mix, calibration volume, available space, mobility requirements, and the types of sensors a shop plans to service.
Why Buy CarCal Through
Agile Truck & Auto tools?
The right calibration system depends on vehicle mix, calibration volume, available space, mobility requirements, and the types of sensors a shop plans to service.
CarCal equipment is available through Agile Truck and Auto Tools. Agile can help configure the equipment with compatible diagnostic software, targets, training, and ongoing support.
CarCal is primarily positioned around supported camera calibration workflows. Radar, surround-view, night vision, and other sensor procedures may require additional equipment. Confirm the intended vehicle coverage and calibration types with Agile before buying.
Many vehicles use a forward-facing camera mounted near the windshield. When windshield replacement affects that camera or the OEM procedure requires recalibration, the shop needs a reliable way to complete or outsource the procedure before returning the vehicle.
CarCal is designed to work independently from a single tablet brand, but the diagnostic software must support the vehicle and required calibration procedure. The correct targets and equipment configuration must also be available. Agile can help verify compatibility before purchase.
CarCal is designed to reduce physical setup time, but the total procedure time varies by vehicle, diagnostic software, required measurements, environmental conditions, pre-scan results, and OEM instructions.
The CarCal Quick Cal 5.0 is a portable target positioning system used for supported ADAS camera calibrations. Its collapsible design helps shops and mobile technicians set up, transport, and store the equipment more easily than a large fixed calibration frame.
CarCal is a brand that designs portable ADAS calibration equipment to support accurate target positioning for applicable camera recalibration procedures. It is commonly used by auto glass shops, collision centers, mobile calibration technicians, and independent repair facilities.
