Windshield ADAS Calibration Services
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have become standard in newer cars because they significantly improve your safety and the safety of passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers. They do this through automated features, such as collision avoidance, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control.
Although you may not know it, your car’s windshield is a critical component of ADAS. This means that replacing your windshield is about more than properly fitting a piece of glass; it requires precise ADAS calibration as well.
Unfortunately, not every mechanic or auto shop is equipped to handle this specialized task. At Glass Doctor®, we have the expertise and advanced technology necessary to calibrate your windshield ADAS, ensuring your vehicle is as safe as possible after a windshield replacement.

Windshield ADAS Calibration Process
ADAS calibration is the process of aligning and testing the advanced driver assistance systems in your vehicle to ensure they function correctly. During a windshield ADAS calibration service, Glass Doctor’s professional glass service professionals use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that any sensors and cameras integrated into your windshield are accurately aligned and functioning correctly. We follow the highest industry standards to calibrate your ADAS through the following process:
- Pre-Scan: We start by confirming whether your windshield ADAS camera is functioning properly so that we can do the calibration. If not, we’ll recommend you bring your vehicle to a dealership for camera repair.
- Replacement: Our team of glass specialists replace your windshield in compliance with AGSC (Auto Glass Safety Council) standards.
- Calibration: Windshield ADAS calibration consists of two processes: dynamic and static calibration. Dynamic calibration is done while the vehicle is in motion to ensure all sensors function properly when in use. Static calibration uses fixed target images at a specific distance from the front of the vehicle to calibrate the windshield ADAS.
- Post-Scan: Glass Doctor’s glass specialists will do one final system check before you hit the road.
