Windshield Replacement & ADAS Calibration for Every Vehicle
Modern windshields are more than just glass — cameras, sensors, and safety systems are built in. We service all makes and models throughout the Charleston metro with specialized ADAS calibration expertise.
Select Your Vehicle Brand
Each brand has specific windshield requirements and ADAS calibration procedures. Select your brand below for detailed information about glass options, calibration requirements, and what to expect during service.

Why ADAS Calibration Matters for Modern Vehicles
Most 2017+ vehicles have cameras and sensors behind the windshield. These systems — collectively called ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) — power features like lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. When you replace the windshield, these cameras need recalibration to function properly.
We calibrate all major ADAS systems on-site during your windshield replacement. No separate dealership appointment needed. One visit, complete service.
What Happens If You Skip Calibration?
Some auto glass shops replace the windshield and skip calibration — or send you elsewhere for it. This leaves your safety systems non-functional or dangerously miscalibrated. Lane keeping might push you toward the shoulder. Automatic braking might not engage when needed. We never skip calibration on equipped vehicles.

Before You Pick a Page: Work Out What Your Car Actually Has
The brand pages above are organised by badge, but the work is specified by the build. Two vehicles of the same model year can carry different sensors behind the same mirror, so a minute spent identifying your configuration saves a wrong quote later.
Trim can change the hardware. Subaru's own press material for the 2023 Outback states that “the top-level Touring adds a Wide-Angle Mono Camera that works with the dual-camera EyeSight system,” a camera that “expands the field of view even further to recognize pedestrians and bicycles sooner when the vehicle enters an intersection at low speed.” Same model, same year, different camera count.
A feature name can hide the sensor set. Hyundai writes the configuration into the manual heading itself — the 2025 Tucson's section is headed “Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) (Sensor fusion)” and lists a front view camera and a front radar as its detecting sensors. The badge on the tailgate will not tell you which sensors your car uses; the driver-assistance section of your owner's manual will.
Look at the top of the glass, from inside. Hyundai's manual locates the sensor exactly — “the front view camera is mounted near the top of the windshield inside your vehicle” — and Kia describes Lane Keeping Assist as reading lane markers “with a front view camera on the windshield.” The housing behind your rear-view mirror is the thing to inspect.
Have These Four Things Ready Before You Call
1. Year, model and trim. Trim is not a formality; on some vehicles it decides the sensor count. 2. The VIN. Glass is ordered from the build, and the VIN is the shortest route to it. 3. Which extras the glass carries. Mercedes-Benz notes that a windshield “often incorporates various electrical components, including driver-assistance cameras, rain sensors, antennae, and heating elements” — so a head-up display, a rain sensor, a heated windshield or acoustic glazing all change the part. 4. What the car is doing now. Whether a driver-assistance warning is already showing tells the shop whether it is diagnosing or simply replacing.
Four Questions Worth Asking Any Glass Shop
Auto glass replacement is covered by an American National Standard — ANSI/AGSC/AGRSS 005-2022, published by the Auto Glass Safety Council — and its 2022 revision added requirements about ADAS calibration. Those requirements make four questions reasonable to ask of anyone, anywhere.
- What is the minimum drive-away time on my car today? The standard defines it as “the time necessary for a given adhesive system to attain minimum drive-away strength,” and requires that the owner “shall be notified prior to and after the installation process” of that time. It depends on the adhesive, the temperature and the humidity, so it is a number for today, not a slogan.
- Will my ADAS be recalibrated, and with what equipment? The standard requires purpose-built calibration equipment, an OEM-approved procedure or one backed in writing as equivalent, and that the equipment only be used on vehicles “specifically covered within the device's database/software.”
- Will I get the outcome of the calibration? The standard requires that whoever performs it “provide the outcome of the recalibration/calibration to the owner/operator.” Ask for it in writing.
- If you do not calibrate, what happens next? A shop that does not offer calibration is required to tell you, before and after the installation, that the vehicle has ADAS, that the manufacturer requires recalibration after glass replacement, that they will not perform it, and that there are places it can be obtained.
Those questions are not paranoia. IIHS reports that among owners whose crash-avoidance repairs involved a windshield replacement, roughly two-thirds went on to report problems with the technology afterwards, and points to “a lack of standardization of calibration processes” as one reason repairs go wrong. A miscalibrated camera does not always announce itself: these systems, as IIHS describes them, use cameras, radar or lidar to watch the road, and a lane-departure system “use[s] cameras to track the vehicle's position within the lane” — a job it can do slightly wrong for a long time without ever lighting a lamp.
$0 Windshield Replacement — All Vehicle Brands
Under South Carolina law (SC Code 38-77-280), vehicles with SC-plated comprehensive coverage may qualify for $0-deductible windshield replacement — regardless of your vehicle brand. Toyota, Honda, Ford, BMW, Tesla — the law applies to all SC-plated vehicles with qualifying coverage.
We verify your coverage and handle the insurance claim. The process is the same whether you drive a Camry or a Model Y.
