If you have any windshield damage, unless it’s a small crack that has the ability to be patched, the best thing to do is to get your windshield replaced as soon as possible. However, if you have a newer model vehicle that came with a safety feature bundle, we (if you came to us for windshield replacement) or a different auto glass shop may tell you that you need windshield re-calibration after your windshield replacement. This is because your safety features are integrated into your windshield and, in layman’s terms, need to be reset. If you need a windshield re-calibration service in Granite Falls, Joe’s Glass Co. can help.
There is a system that is installed in many newer vehicles (cars, trucks, and SUVs) known as the Advanced Driver Assistance System or ADAS. It works via lasers, radars, and cameras that are integrated with the windshield. So, when your windshield has a complete replacement, you will need re-calibration to restore your features to their original OEM specifications. These may be features such as collision warning, headlight control, automatic cruise control, parking assist, pedestrian protection, blind-spot monitoring, and more. These are features you’ve likely gotten used to as you’ve driven your car, and they’re in place to protect you and other drivers on the road, so you certainly don’t want to go without them.
If you don’t have time to get to us for re-calibration, we can come to you with the Joe’s Glass Co. mobile team. Just let us know when you call to make an appointment.
