ENSURE YOUR SAFETY WITH ADVANCED WINDSHIELD RECALIBRATION

  • What Is Windshield Calibration?

    • As vehicles transition toward Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), windshield calibration becomes essential. It involves adjusting the camera’s parameters to ensure it captures a full, accurate view of the road, crucial for the accuracy and reliability of ADAS functions.

  • Do I Have To Calibrate My Windshield?

    • Yes, if your vehicle has an ADAS system, it’s important to calibrate your windshield. Over time, the camera's view can shift slightly, impacting its effectiveness and making driving less safe.

  • When Should I Have My Windshield Calibrated?

    • You should consider calibration if you:

      • Have replaced your windshield

      • See a fault code on your dashboard

      • Have disconnected the camera

      • Have made changes to your suspension

      • Have altered your tire alignment

  • Are There Laws About Windshield Calibration?

    • Yes, the law requires that any shop replacing a windshield must also offer calibration. If you choose not to proceed with calibration (which is not recommended), you may need to sign a waiver acknowledging responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Recalibration Necessary if the Camera Wasn’t Disconnected?

    • Yes, even if the camera wasn’t disconnected during a windshield replacement, recalibration is still required. Modern vehicle systems rely on precise camera alignment, and any change to the windshield can alter that calibration. Always ensure your ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is recalibrated for optimal safety.

  • Why is Windshield Calibration Important?

    • Windshield calibration is crucial because it ensures that ADAS features, such as lane-keeping assistance and automatic braking, function accurately. Improper calibration can lead to safety risks by misaligning these systems.

  • Why Do Some Shops Claim Recalibration Isn’t Needed?

    • Some shops may overlook recalibration due to lack of equipment or training. However, skipping this step can compromise the effectiveness of ADAS features and vehicle safety. It’s always best to choose a qualified service provider for recalibration.

  • Is Windshield Recalibration Covered by Insurance?

    • Many insurance policies cover recalibration costs, especially if it’s required after a windshield replacement. Check with your provider or ask our team for assistance in handling insurance claims for recalibration services.

  • How Long Does Windshield Recalibration Take?

    • Recalibration can take between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the vehicle's make, model, and the type of recalibration required (static or dynamic). Our technicians can provide a more precise estimate based on your vehicle.
