Cheap ADAS Calibration suggestions for Honda Accord?

Basically the title.

I have a 2018 Honda Accord, and all of the Honda Sensing features suddenly stopped working. I've got 4 warning lights on the dash (ACC, LKAS, and the rest of the safety/driver assist stuff).

First thing I did was clean the sensors, but no luck. The independent shop I usually go to for oil changes and regular maintenance said they don't deal with this kind of issue, so I took it to the Honda dealership. They charged me $200 for a diagnostic, tried resetting/recalibrating everything, but said it didn't work. Their solution was to replace the front camera, and the quote came out to almost $2,000 CAD with parts and labour.

I tried getting a second opinion from another shop, but they won't accept Honda's diagnosis and want to do their own diagnostic first, which means paying another diagnostic fee.

I'm kind of stuck on what to do. I can drive just fine without ACC and LKAS, but I did like having those features for the extra peace of mind. At the same time, $2k feels like a crazy amount to spend on it.

For those who've dealt with something similar:

Is this something that's usually cheaper to get fixed at an independent shop, or is Honda the better option? Any good shops in Ottawa, preferably around Kanata/Napean that you'd recommend for this kind of work? If I leave it as is, how much is it likely to hurt the resale value later on?

Appreciate any advice!

Motorcycle training after M2?

I just completed my M1 exit course and got my M2. But those 2 days during the course are the only time I’ve ever been on a motorcycle so I’m not feeling confident and feel like I need more training and time on a bike. Are there any courses in Ottawa I can take, which are kinda similar to driving courses where you get time with a bike and an instructor, may be weekly, to get more comfortable on a bike? Or the next thing to do is just get a bike myself and practice?
