After windshield replacement, your vehicle's safety cameras must be recalibrated. Auto Renu performs on-site dynamic ADAS calibration in Lafayette — included free with every eligible replacement. No dealer visit. No extra charge.
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) uses a forward-facing camera mounted to your windshield to power lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and Tesla Autopilot/FSD. When the windshield is replaced, the camera's alignment changes — even by fractions of a millimeter — requiring precise recalibration.
Skipping calibration after windshield replacement can cause your safety systems to give false warnings, brake unexpectedly, or fail silently. In California, driving with a known miscalibrated ADAS system may be considered an equipment violation and could affect insurance claims.
Auto Renu technicians perform dynamic ADAS calibration at your Lafayette location — your home, office, parking lot, or any convenient spot. Dynamic calibration is done by driving your vehicle at highway speed for 15–20 minutes after installation. No shop visit. No dealer. We handle it all on-site.

Many shops in Contra Costa County charge $150–$350 extra for ADAS calibration. Auto Renu includes it at no additional cost on all windshield replacements that require it. If you have comprehensive insurance, the entire job — glass, installation, and calibration — is typically $0 out of pocket.

Does every windshield replacement need ADAS calibration? Only vehicles with a forward-facing camera mounted to the windshield (most vehicles 2015 and newer). Auto Renu checks your VIN before every job to confirm.
Can I drive before calibration is done? You can drive, but your ADAS systems may not function correctly or may give false warnings until calibration is complete. Auto Renu performs calibration immediately after installation so you leave fully calibrated.
Is ADAS calibration covered by insurance? Yes. If your windshield replacement is covered under comprehensive insurance, calibration is covered as part of the same claim — it's not a separate charge.
Do you serve all of Lafayette? Yes. Auto Renu serves all 94549 zip codes and surrounding Contra Costa County areas, 7 days a week including weekends.
