Summit Auto Calibration is an automotive services franchise specializing in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibration for modern vehicles. The franchise provides precision calibration and diagnostics required after collision repairs, windshield replacements, and sensor adjustments.

It serves collision repair facilities that must meet OEM safety and performance standards. The business operates in a fast-growing segment of the automotive repair industry. Summit Auto Calibration was founded in 2022 to address the increasing complexity of vehicle safety technology. The brand was established in New Haven, Indiana, where it is also headquartered today.

It was created as a calibration-only solution to support repair shops that lack in-house ADAS capabilities. The company focuses on accuracy, compliance, and repeatable processes.

The franchise began franchising shortly after its founding to expand nationwide through a structured service model. Franchisees sell ADAS calibration services to collision centers, dealerships, and automotive repair businesses.

Training

Summit Auto Calibration provides comprehensive training to ensure franchisees are fully prepared to operate their businesses. The franchisor offers several distinct training and support programs:

1. Initial Training Program
Summit Auto Calibration provides an initial training program for up to three individuals, which must be completed before the franchise opens. The program includes approximately five days of training at their headquarters or an affiliate-owned outlet. It covers operations, systems, and technical knowledge required to run the franchise.

2. Grand Opening Support
The franchisor assists with site selection guidelines, layout and signage specifications, equipment and supply lists, and approval of the franchisee's grand opening marketing plan. These steps are part of their pre-opening obligations to help ensure a successful launch.

3. Ongoing Training and Support
The franchisor may require franchisees to attend mandatory additional training for up to eight days per year, such as national meetings or conventions. These sessions may include refresher content or updates on operational standards.

Territory Protection

Summit Auto Calibration provides franchisees with a defined territory, typically encompassing a 30-mile radius around the approved location. While this territory is identified and added to the Franchise Agreement, it is not exclusive.

The franchisor reserves the right to allow competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other brands under its control within or near that area. However, as long as the franchisee remains in compliance with the agreement, the franchisor agrees not to open another dedicated Summit Auto Calibration outlet within the defined territory.

This offers some operational protection from direct brand competition. Nonetheless, the franchisor retains the right to service or assign servicing of national accounts within the territory, which can introduce competition indirectly.
