Your safety cameras, recalibrated correctly
If your car has lane-keeping, automatic emergency braking or adaptive cruise, the camera behind your windshield must be aimed precisely. After a windshield replacement, we make sure it works exactly as designed.
- Safety first
- Quoted upfront
- Coordinated with your install
Why calibration matters
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems rely on a forward-facing camera mounted to the windshield. Even a small change in angle can affect how they read the road.
Lane-keeping assist
Reads lane markings to keep you centered and warn you if you drift.
Automatic emergency braking
Detects vehicles and pedestrians ahead and can brake for you.
Adaptive cruise & more
Traffic-sign recognition, auto high beams and collision warnings depend on the same camera.
Static or dynamic — whatever your car requires
- Identify your systemWe check your vehicle’s equipment and the manufacturer’s calibration requirements.

- VerifyWe confirm the system reports a successful calibration and no warning lights.
When calibration is needed
- After a windshield replacement on a camera-equipped car

Common questions
Don’t see your question? Text or call us — a real person answers, in English or Spanish.
How do I know if my car has ADAS?
If your windshield has a camera housing behind the rearview mirror, your car most likely has ADAS. Tell us your year, make and model and we’ll confirm.
Is calibration really necessary?
For camera-equipped vehicles, manufacturers require calibration after a windshield replacement so safety systems aim correctly.
How long does it take?
Usually 30–60 minutes depending on the vehicle and the type of calibration required.
Can I drive before calibration?
We recommend completing calibration before relying on any driver-assist features.
