Does Pick-Up and Delivery Reduce Bay Time for Edina Collision Shops?

Yes. Pickup and delivery lets a collision shop send a vehicle out for calibration instead of holding it in a bay while waiting on equipment or a specialist. Industry data shows calibrations already add days to a repair, and a shrinking technician pipeline makes in-house calibration harder to staff. At MN ADAS Solutions in Bloomington, we pick up, calibrate, and return vehicles so Edina collision shops can keep bays open for repair work instead of ADAS work.

Why Is Bay Time Such a Pressing Issue for Collision Shops?

Every hour a vehicle sits in a bay waiting on ADAS calibration services in Edina, MN, is an hour that the bay cannot generate repair revenue. CCC Intelligent Solutions data found that repairs involving multiple ADAS calibrations averaged more than 17 days keys-to-keys, compared to 13 days for repairs with no calibration at all. That gap adds up quickly across a shop’s schedule, especially as calibrations now appear on a growing share of estimates.

Does a Technician Shortage Make This Worse?

Yes. TechForce Foundation reports that the collision repair training pipeline fills only 42 percent of annual demand, with more than 73,000 new entrant technicians needed between 2025 and 2029. Few shops can justify hiring and training a dedicated ADAS specialist for occasional calibration work. Outsourcing post-collision ADAS calibration to a specialist avoids that staffing gap entirely.

How Does ADAS Pick Up and Delivery Work?

Instead of scheduling a drop-off around your shop’s hours, our team:

  • Coordinates a pickup time that fits your repair schedule
  • Transports the vehicle to our Bloomington calibration facility
  • Performs vehicle safety system calibration in a controlled, OEM-standard environment
  • Returns the vehicle ready for final inspection and delivery to the customer

The bay stays open the entire time, which lets your team keep working on other vehicles.

What Should Edina Shops Ask Before Choosing a Provider?

Before scheduling, confirm the ADAS calibration center documents each calibration, follows OEM procedures, and offers pickup and delivery that fits your workflow rather than making you adjust your schedule around theirs. Minnesota ADAS Solutions builds each pickup around the shop’s timeline, not the other way around.
