Got a call from another shop about refinishing a bumper with ADAS involved.
That’s where things aren’t always black and white.
Most manufacturers don’t allow repairs in the radar/monitoring zones, especially around blind spot systems. And it goes beyond just paint.
FCA Mopar recently updated guidance around film thickness in those areas. Staying within OEM limits matters, even when applying PPF or coatings.

The takeaway is simple. Always check the procedures before touching those zones.

Another GM position statement worth paying attention to.
This one focuses on ADAS, and there’s a lot more to it than just OEM parts.
Yes, parts matter. But GM is also calling out everything that can affect how these systems perform. Ride height changes, suspension work, wheels and tires, even things like wraps, films, and window tint.
It all plays a role.
These systems are designed to operate within specific parameters. Change those, and you change how the vehicle responds.
Well worth taking the time to read through.

Pre scans are finally getting the attention they deserve.
GM released updated position statements reinforcing how critical diagnostic scanning is before repairs begin. That part is clear.
But here’s where we take it a step further.
One scan isn’t enough.
Pre scan to understand what’s in the system when the vehicle arrives.
Post repair scan before the test drive to confirm everything is cleared.
Final scan after the drive to make sure every system came back online properly.
Three checkpoints. No guessing.
Curious where other shops stand on this.
