What is a Recalibration?

Why recalibration matters—and why expertise makes the difference.

What is an ADAS calibration?

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration is the process of aligning and configuring your vehicle’s safety systems so they function accurately. These systems include features like lane departure warning, forward collision alert, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. Calibration ensures the cameras, sensors, and radars that power these technologies are aimed and functioning exactly as the manufacturer intended.

Why is it important?

Your ADAS features are designed to keep you safe on the road by providing critical alerts and, in some cases, automatic interventions. If the cameras or sensors are even slightly misaligned, these systems may give false warnings—or fail to warn you at all. Proper calibration restores accuracy and reliability, protecting you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road.

Why do we recalibrate after installing your windshield?

Most ADAS sensors, especially cameras, are mounted to or near your windshield. When a windshield is replaced, the alignment of these sensors can shift, even if it’s by a fraction of an inch. That small shift can make a big difference in how your safety systems perform. Recalibrating after a windshield replacement ensures your ADAS is properly realigned and ready to function as designed.

Why have experts recalibrate your car?

ADAS recalibration is a precise and technical process that requires specialized equipment, up-to-date software, and expert training. Professional technicians use factory-approved targets and tools to reset your systems with exact measurements. Having experts recalibrate your car not only keeps you compliant with manufacturer requirements, but also gives you peace of mind knowing your safety systems are accurate and reliable.
