Newly Replaced Windshield?
We've Got You Covered!
After getting your new windshield installed, calibrating your camera is the next step that you need to take. Bright Auto Glass wants to make sure that your vehicle’s Advanced Safety Systems are calibrated and working properly so you won’t have to worry about having any trouble along the way. Our team of professionals can get the job done efficiently so you can get back on the road with a sense of safety.
Why Do I Need to Calibrate My Windshield Cameras & Sensors?
Your windshield camera is an important part of your car’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). These systems use sensors, lasers, and cameras to help you avoid accidents. From adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, rain-sensing wipers, lane departure warning system, and more, the ADAS features in your car are designed to keep you and your passengers safe.
From vehicle models 2016 and newer, most cars have some sort of ADAS feature, and this will only continue to grow and develop in the future. But as the system heavily relies on the windshield camera for proper function, any damage to the glass can result in a need for recalibration. If the camera isn’t calibrated correctly, it can throw off the entire system and cause false readings which could lead to accidents.
ADAS calibration is important to do after any windshield replacement or repair to make sure that the safety features in your car are working as they should. Not only is it the law in some states, but getting a windshield calibration is the best way to make sure that your car’s ADAS is functioning properly. This will give you peace of mind knowing that you and your family are as safe as possible when out on the road.
Windshield Calibration Services Westminster, CO
Depending on your vehicle manufacturer, there are two types of processes that are used when calibrating a windshield camera—static and dynamic processes.
Static Calibration is being done in an environment that is controlled, without having the need to drive the car. A technician sets up the targets and vehicle specs before connecting the camera for re-programming it. This process requires the use of sensitive and special equipment like a camera and sensor calibration tool.
While Dynamic Calibration is also referred to as Mobile Calibration. The term was derived due to the need for the calibration process to use a hand-help unit that’s directly plugged into the vehicle. And once the unit is attached, a technician will then have to drive the car following a set of specific driving maneuvers at a manufacturer-prescribed speed across a set of distances within optimum weather conditions on well-marked roads.
At Bright Auto Glass, we use both static and dynamic processes depending on your car’s needs. We make sure that our technicians use the latest tools and equipment to properly calibrate your camera. We understand that each car is different, and we will make sure to use the right process for your vehicle.

If you're not sure if your vehicle is equipped with ADAS features, you can check your car's owner's manual or look up the specific model online. But an easier way to determine if you have a lane departure warning is when you're swerving and it notifies you or it auto-corrects your steering wheel. And when you have a forward collision alert, it will notify you with a sound, light, or both when it senses that you're getting too close to another vehicle.
If you choose not to calibrate your windshield camera, there's a chance that the ADAS features in your car will not work properly. This could lead to accidents, as the features are there to help you avoid them.
A windshield camera is part of your car's ADAS system, which stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. It uses sensors and cameras to help you avoid accidents by giving you warnings and sometimes even automatically correcting your steering. A dashcam, on the other hand, is a camera that you can install on your dashboard or windscreen that records your surroundings while you're driving. It doesn't have any of the advanced features that a windshield camera has.
The camera calibration alone can cost up to $300.
Yes, in most cases, your insurance will cover the cost of calibrating your windshield camera. If you're not sure, you can always give them a call to double-check.
