When these systems lose alignment, your safety features stop working properly. Our certified technicians use factory grade equipment to recalibrate your ADAS components, restoring full functionality so you can drive with confidence knowing your collision avoidance systems protect you and your passengers on every trip.
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) rely on accurate sensor alignment to function properly. The cameras mounted on your windshield are responsible for tracking road markings, detecting pedestrians, and measuring the distance between your vehicle and others. Even a small misalignment, as little as one millimeter, can cause these crucial safety features to malfunction.
There are two main methods of ADAS calibration: static and dynamic. Static calibration involves using targets and patterns in a controlled environment, while dynamic calibration requires driving the vehicle under specific conditions. Both methods necessitate specialized tools and training, which most general repair shops do not possess.
Long Beach Auto Glass Repairs ensures precise ADAS calibration by using manufacturer-specific targets for over 40 vehicle brands, including Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Subaru, and more. Our technicians complete 40 hours of annual training through I-CAR and AGRSS certification programs, maintaining expertise in the latest industry standards.
We provide a printed calibration report detailing sensor angles, alignment measurements, and diagnostic scan results. With 85% of calibrations completed within two hours, we prioritize efficiency. Mobile calibration allows us to deliver service at your location, while same-day service helps get you back on the road quickly.
Dashboard warning lights indicate sensor malfunctions that need prompt attention. A miscalibrated lane departure system may activate incorrectly or fail to alert you when drifting. Adaptive cruise control might disengage unexpectedly or maintain unsafe following distances. Forward collision warnings could either trigger false alarms or fail to detect real hazards.
Your backup camera may show distorted images or incorrect trajectory lines. Any windshield work, such as chip repair or a full replacement, can disrupt sensor alignment and necessitate recalibration.
Our ADAS calibration process is designed to ensure that all sensors in your vehicle function properly, maintaining the effectiveness of safety features. Each step is carefully executed, from initial diagnostics to final testing, to guarantee that your vehicle meets the manufacturer's specifications for optimal performance.
We begin by connecting diagnostic equipment to your vehicle's computer system to identify which sensors need attention. The scan provides error codes and baseline measurements, which are crucial for guiding the calibration process.
Our technicians thoroughly inspect your windshield to ensure it meets OEM specifications for clarity, angle, and mounting position. Any use of aftermarket glass or improper installation can prevent accurate sensor calibration.
Your vehicle is placed on a level surface in our climate controlled bay. Specialized targets are positioned at precise distances and angles based on manufacturer specifications. Calibration software then communicates with your vehicle's computer to adjust sensor parameters accordingly.
If necessary, we drive your vehicle on predetermined routes designed to allow the sensors to self adjust by detecting road markings, signs, and traffic patterns. This process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the vehicle's systems.
After calibration, we perform final diagnostic scans to verify that all sensors are operating within factory tolerances. You will receive printed documentation confirming the successful calibration of each system.
Before returning your vehicle, we test every safety feature to ensure proper activation and response. This includes lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot monitoring.
Many newer sedans, such as those from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Mazda, are equipped with front-facing cameras that require recalibration after windshield service. Luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Lexus use multiple sensors, demanding specialized calibration equipment. Trucks and SUVs from Ford, Chevrolet, Ram, and GMC feature radar systems located behind windshield mounted emblems, necessitating precise calibration.
Electric vehicles, including the Tesla Model 3, Chevrolet Bolt, and Nissan Leaf, depend on advanced camera-based safety systems that require calibration. Even economy vehicles now include essential safety features, such as lane departure warnings and forward collision alerts, that must be properly calibrated.
We calibrate forward facing cameras that monitor lane markings and detect vehicles ahead, ensuring accurate data for safety systems. Radar sensors behind the windshield measure closing speeds and distances to other vehicles, requiring precise calibration for proper function. Rain sensors adjust wiper speed based on precipitation levels, and heads-up display projectors need alignment to ensure information is displayed at the correct focal point.
Automatic headlight sensors detect changes in ambient light conditions, while condensation sensors monitor windshield temperature to prevent fogging, both of which also require calibration for optimal performance.
The duration of ADAS calibration depends on the complexity of your vehicle's systems. Simple forward camera calibrations usually take between 45 and 90 minutes, while vehicles with multiple sensors and radar systems typically require two to three hours. Luxury vehicles with advanced sensor arrays may take up to four hours.
After assessing your vehicle's specific needs, we provide an accurate time estimate, ensuring most customers can drop off their vehicle in the morning and pick it up the same afternoon.

Failure to recalibrate your windshield after replacement can cause the vehicle's safety systems to malfunction, affecting features like automatic braking and lane assistance. This can increase the risk of accidents and safety concerns.
Windshield calibration typically costs between $300 and $600, depending on the vehicle and service provider. The price can vary based on the complexity of the calibration and your car's ADAS features.
ADAS calibration requires specialized equipment and should be done at a professional facility, as home setups can't ensure the accuracy needed for these systems. DIY calibration is not recommended for safety.
It's not recommended. Driving without proper calibration can result in faulty safety features, like inaccurate lane departure warnings or ineffective collision prevention. This could compromise your safety and that of others on the road.
After calibration, a professional service should provide you with a report confirming the proper calibration of your vehicle's sensors and systems. You may also notice that safety features are working smoothly, with no error warnings on your dashboard.
