ADAS CALIBRATION FAQS

  • Is ADAS Calibration Necessary After a Windshield Replacement?

    Yes, if your vehicle is equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), proper calibration is crucial to ensure your safety features function accurately after a windshield replacement. Even if your cameras and sensors are perfectly aligned, they still need to be calibrated to correctly view the road and provide proper alerts and timely reactions.

  • Does Auto Insurance Cover ADAS Calibration?

    Oftentimes, comprehensive insurance policies will cover ADAS calibration after a windshield replacement. In fact, providers commonly require windshield calibration after a replacement. Our technicians will thoroughly document the process to your provider’s standards so everything goes smoothly.

  • What Is the Difference Between Static and Dynamic Calibration?

    Static ADAS calibration takes place on a completely level surface using specialized targets and measuring devices. Dynamic calibration requires a technician to drive your vehicle at specific speeds under specific conditions. Our team will assess your safety systems to determine exactly what type of calibration you need. Some vehicles require one or the other, while some require a combination of both.

  • How Long Does ADAS Calibration Take?

    The windshield replacement process usually takes 1–2 hours. ADAS calibration can add anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours. We can provide you with a more specific estimate for your individual vehicle. The time it takes to complete calibration depends on the type of calibration you need, the complexity of your system, and environmental conditions.

  • How Do I Know If My Vehicle Has ADAS Technology?

    If your vehicle has safety features like Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, or Adaptive Cruise Control, then it has ADAS technology. In this case, you will need calibration after your windshield replacement.

  • Should I Get a Windshield Calibration After a Car Accident?

    ADAS calibration is recommended after a collision, even minor ones, because the slightest misalignment can cause inaccuracies or malfunctions.

  • How Do I Know When My Vehicle Needs an ADAS Calibration?

    If you notice ADAS warning lights on your dash, your system likely needs calibration. Warning lights may appear as acronyms for specific features. For example, FCW, LKA, and ACC may appear for issues with Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control, respectively. General warnings can appear differently on different vehicles. You can always check your vehicle’s owner’s manual, or our technicians can diagnose the issue for you.

  • Can I Calibrate My ADAS Technology?

    Some ADAS systems can perform self-checks to detect errors or misalignments, but professional calibration is usually required to ensure the system functions correctly. ADAS calibration is a precise process requiring specialized equipment and extensive knowledge of the system’s specifications. Certified technicians employ thorough training and experience to properly calibrate your ADAS technology. Attempting to calibrate your system on your own, without the correct tools, environmental conditions, measurements, and techniques, can lead to inaccurate road interpretations and malfunctions in your safety features.
