If your vehicle (2015+) has lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control, ADAS camera calibration is required after windshield replacement. This typically costs $150–$350 separately — but Auto Renu includes on-site ADAS calibration at your San Ramon location as part of the windshield replacement process. Tesla owners: calibration is mandatory and always included. Ask about ADAS when getting your quote.
1. Check your insurance first — call your insurer or Auto Renu (1-800-684-3629) and we'll check for you. 2. If paying cash, get at least 2 quotes — ask specifically about OEM vs OEE glass and what the lifetime warranty covers. 3. Avoid glass that doesn't come with a written lifetime warranty. 4. Beware of "free windshield" offers from unknown vendors — these often use low-grade aftermarket glass with no warranty. Auto Renu uses only AG-RSS certified glass with a lifetime warranty on both glass and labor.
