After replacing your windshield, you should always recalibrate your ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). Most ADAS have cameras and sensors located on the windshield.

ADAS calibration must be performed by highly trained and skilled technicians and requires the use of expense equipment. The calibration cost of ADAS is based on your vehicle information and estimates generally range from $300 to $600, depending on what must be calibrated and where you have the work completed.

In general, the calibration process takes about 30 to 45 minutes and is completed at the same time as your window replacement. A window replacement can take anywhere from 1-2 hours so anticipate both time frames when scheduling an appointment.

If the ADAS equipment isn't calibrated, important safety features may malfunction or may not work at all. Your car's system could fail to alert you of a safety issue or alert you at the wrong time. Either situation could be dangerous! Your car may suddenly brake, swerve, or otherwise react to incorrect information.
