Modern vehicles rely on cameras and sensors mounted to the windshield to power safety features like automatic emergency braking.

If your vehicle was built after 2016 and has automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, or a forward-facing camera behind the windshield, it probably does. We’ll check your VIN and tell you.
We include an ADAS assessment with every windshield replacement. If calibration is required, we’ll tell you upfront whether it’s included or additional, depending on your vehicle and insurance.
Most comprehensive auto policies cover calibration after windshield replacement. We verify your coverage before starting.
Yes. If another shop changed your windshield and didn’t calibrate the cameras, we can do a standalone calibration. Don’t drive with uncalibrated safety systems.
Warning lights on the dash, erratic lane departure alerts, or cruise control behaving differently are signs. But sometimes there’s no warning — the systems just aren’t accurate. If you had a windshield replaced without calibration, assume it needs it.
Static calibration requires our shop and calibrated targets. For dynamic-only calibration, we can sometimes perform it after a mobile windshield replacement. We’ll walk you through the logistics.
ADAS calibration typically ranges from $150–$400 depending on the vehicle and calibration type required (static, dynamic, or dual). Many insurance policies cover ADAS calibration as part of windshield replacement. We provide exact pricing when you schedule.
Static calibration typically takes 30–60 minutes. Dynamic calibration requires a 15–30 minute drive. Dual calibration combines both. Total time including setup is usually 1–2 hours.
While not explicitly required by law in most states, vehicle manufacturers require recalibration after windshield replacement to maintain proper ADAS function. Skipping calibration can result in malfunctioning safety systems, which creates a liability issue and may affect warranty coverage.
A: We strongly recommend against it. ADAS features like automatic braking and lane keeping are safety systems designed to prevent collisions. A miscalibrated camera can cause these systems to malfunction — potentially creating a more dangerous situation than having no ADAS at all.
Many comprehensive auto insurance policies cover ADAS calibration as a necessary part of windshield replacement. We verify your coverage and include calibration in the insurance claim when applicable.
No. ADAS calibration requires specialized diagnostic equipment, manufacturer-specific target boards, a controlled environment (for static calibration), and trained technicians. Not all auto glass shops have the equipment or training. National Glass is equipped for ADAS calibration at our service locations.
