ADAS in plain English
ADAS — advanced driver-assistance systems — is the tech behind lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. On most equipped vehicles, the camera that runs those features is mounted to the windshield, looking through the glass. Replace the windshield and that camera's aim shifts, even slightly — enough to throw off systems that measure distances and lane position.
Does your car need it?
If you have any of those driver-assist features and a camera visible near the top-center of your windshield, then yes — a replacement requires recalibration. Skipping it means lane-keeping or auto-braking could react late or wrong, exactly when you need them. We perform the recalibration as part of the replacement so your systems leave aimed the way the factory intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my car has ADAS?
Look for lane-keeping, adaptive cruise, or auto-braking in your features, and a camera housing near the rearview mirror. Tell us your year/make/model and we'll confirm.
Is recalibration extra?
We build it into the replacement quote for cars that need it — no separate trip, no surprise line item (and no Delaware sales tax on it either).
