What is ADAS Calibration?
Modern vehicles (2018 and newer) come equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that use cameras and sensors mounted on or near your windshield. When your windshield is replaced, these cameras must be precisely recalibrated to ensure life-saving safety features work correctly.
ADAS calibration is a precision process using specialized equipment that aligns your vehicle's cameras to manufacturer specifications. Without proper calibration, your safety systems may fail to activate, activate incorrectly, or provide false warnings - putting you and your passengers at risk.
Federal Law Requires ADAS Calibration
As of 2018, federal law requires that any vehicle equipped with ADAS must have its safety systems recalibrated after windshield replacement. Skipping this step is not only dangerous - it may violate safety regulations and could affect insurance claims if there's an accident.

Our ADAS Calibration Process
System Scan
We connect to your vehicle's computer system to identify which ADAS features are equipped.
Target Setup
Specialized calibration targets are positioned at precise distances and angles according to manufacturer specs.
Static Calibration
Using OEM-approved equipment, we calibrate cameras while the vehicle is stationary.
Dynamic Calibration
For some vehicles, we perform a test drive to complete the calibration process.
Verification
We re-scan the system to verify all ADAS features are functioning correctly and error-free.
Vehicles That Commonly Require ADAS Calibration
Most vehicles from 2018 onward require ADAS calibration. Common models include:
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ADAS calibration and why is it necessary?▼
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration is a precise alignment process required after windshield replacement on vehicles with cameras or sensors mounted on or near the glass. These systems - including lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and collision avoidance - rely on exact positioning to function correctly. Even a 1mm shift in the windshield can cause these safety systems to malfunction or provide false alerts. Calibration ensures your safety systems work as the manufacturer intended.
