Car ADAS Solutions is excited to announce that TAG Calibrations has opened a new advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) calibration center in Clarksville, Indiana. This opening expands access to OEM-compliant calibrations for collision, glass and mechanical shops across the Louisville metro area. The company also has locations in Indianapolis, Lafayette and Merrillville, Indiana; Akron, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; and St. Louis, Missouri.
“Car ADAS Solutions is proud to partner with TAG Calibrations,” said Nathan Thomsen, manager of operations & training at Car ADAS Solutions. “TAG is one of the finest examples of quality and integrity in the ADAS industry. The company’s growing business footprint is a testament to their commitment to excellence, and we’re excited to continue supporting their expansion and success.”
The location marks the 8th ADAS calibration center owned and operated by Andy Tylka, whose network of calibration centers continues to grow with market demand.
“Andy is an industry leader, and a fantastic business partner of Car ADAS Solutions,” said Greg Peeters, CEO of Car ADAS Solutions. “The TAG Calibrations team leverages their collision repair experience to provide superior quality and service to body shops and their customers.”
“We’ve always liked the Louisville market,” Tylka said. “We initially searched on the Kentucky side, but we found the right space in Indiana and realized how many body shops were already there. It just made sense.”
The Clarksville site sits near a dense cluster of repair facilities while remaining minutes from Louisville via the river crossings.
glove pickup and delivery model. “When I created this business model, I knew we had to compete with mobile calibration providers,” Tylka said. “So we pick up the car, calibrate it in a controlled environment to OEM standards, and return it to the shop. It saves our customers time and delivers a better calibration.”
The Clarksville operation follows that playbook. The team is staffed with a site manager, a lead technician, and a dedicated porter who supports vehicle transport and calibration setup. The facility spans roughly 7,000 square feet, with lighting, floor leveling, and target layout optimized for precise static and dynamic calibrations.
Opening the site took persistence. “This was probably our most difficult opening,” Tylka said.
Permits, inspections and business licensing extended the timeline to about six months. “Every municipality is different. Some want comprehensive architectural drawings and multiple inspections; others are far lighter touch,” he explained. “Getting in front of the building department early is critical because those expectations affect both timelines and costs.”
Director of Calibration Josh Ronak played a central role in Clarksville’s launch, standardizing the build-out, coordinating training and establishing post-launch performance routines.
Car ADAS Solutions partnered closely on the market-development front. As TAG Calibrations has expanded, the collaboration has evolved. Internal leaders like Ronak now handle on-site assessments and construction readiness, while the Car ADAS Solutions team focuses on customer education and outreach.
“It’s a powerful combination,” Tylka said. “We gain speed on the build-out and credibility in the market with more touch points to help shops understand OEM procedures and documentation.”
TAG Calibrations also integrates directly with body shop estimating systems to identify vehicles that require calibration. “We scrub every estimate so nothing slips through,” Tylka said.
The company then meets monthly with partner shops to review completed calibrations, missed opportunities and process improvements. “A lot of shops assume they’re capturing everything,” noted Tylka. “Once we show the data, it’s eye-opening. We help build better habits so every vehicle that needs a calibration actually gets one.”
Turnaround remains a priority. “Most of the time we get the car back the same day,” Tylka said.
The pickup-calibrate-return model reduces administrative friction for busy shops and helps ensure that calibrations occur in an environment designed for precision, rather than in variable, on-site conditions.
For Tylka, the safety imperative is personal and practical. “We’re not just thinking about the customer whose car is in the bay, we’re thinking about every family they’ll share the road with,” he said. “If a vehicle isn’t calibrated properly, it can put everyone in danger. Our responsibility is to send that car back exactly as the manufacturer intended.”
With ADAS features becoming increasingly standard, the demand for accurate, documented calibrations will only increase. The Clarksville center extends TAG Calibrations’ capacity to support shops across Southern Indiana and Louisville with OEM-compliant procedures, efficient logistics and proactive program management.
