Mobile ADAS Recalibration in Houston
Replacing your windshield is only half the job. We precisely recalibrate your vehicle’s forward-facing cameras and safety sensors to ensure your Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) function flawlessly.
// Safety Systems Explained
What is ADAS, and Why Does It Need Recalibration?
Most vehicles manufactured after 2015 are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
These systems rely on a complex network of cameras, lasers, and radar sensors, many of which are mounted directly to the inside of your windshield, right behind the rearview mirror.
Common ADAS features include:– Lane Departure Warning & Lane Keep Assist- Forward Collision Warning & Automatic Emergency Braking- Adaptive Cruise Control- Pedestrian Detection- Traffic Sign RecognitionWhen a windshield is replaced, these highly sensitive cameras are unplugged, removed, and attached to the new glass.
A variation in camera angle of just one millimeter at the windshield translates to a massive error blindspot hundreds of feet down the road. If the camera is not recalibrated, your vehicle may fail to brake for an obstacle, or it may aggressively brake for no reason at all, putting you in extreme danger on busy roads like the Katy Freeway or I-45.
At A Plus Auto Glass, our certified technicians are trained in both static and dynamic ADAS recalibration. We have invested heavily in the latest diagnostic software and precision targeting equipment to restore your safety systems to exact factory specifications.

Dealership-Level Technology, Mobile Convenience
In the past, drivers in Houston were forced to get their windshield replaced by a glass shop, and then spend a whole day sitting at a costly dealership to get their cameras recalibrated.
A Plus Auto Glass has changed that. We offer a true one-stop solution.As part of our free mobile service, we bring state-of-the-art ADAS recalibration equipment directly to your home or office.
Whether your vehicle requires a Dynamic Calibration (driving the vehicle at a set speed so the camera recalibrates to road markings) or a Static Calibration (using precise laser measurements and physical target boards in front of the vehicle), we complete the process immediately following your windshield replacement.
// The Importance of OEM Glass
Clarity is Critical for Cameras
ADAS cameras have to look through the windshield to see the road. If you install cheap, aftermarket glass that suffers from optical distortion, waves, or incorrect thickness, the camera will receive skewed data, and the recalibration will fail.
This is why A Plus Auto Glass strongly advocates for, and specializes in, OEM and OEE auto glass. We ensure the glass we install meets the identical optical clarity specifications demanded by your vehicle’s manufacturer, guaranteeing a successful recalibration and your absolute safety.
// FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About ADAS
Is ADAS recalibration mandatory?
Yes. All vehicle manufacturers stipulate in their service manuals that if a windshield featuring a forward-facing camera is replaced, the camera must be recalibrated to ensure the safety systems function correctly. We will not compromise your safety by skipping this step.
Does my insurance cover recalibration?
Yes! If you have a rock chip smaller than a quarter, or a crack shorter than a dollar bill, we can often repair it with advanced resin for a fraction of the cost of a full windshield replacement.
Can you perform calibration in my driveway?
Usually, yes. Dynamic calibrations simply require driving the vehicle. Static calibrations require the vehicle to be parked on a relatively flat, level surface (like a driveway or parking garage) with enough open space in front of the car to set up our targeting equipment. If your location isn’t suitable, our technician will work with you to find a nearby flat area.
