Advanced Recalibration for Safer Driving in Birmingham, AL
Driving is all about freedom and confidence. Whether you’re cruising through Birmingham with the windows down or carefully backing out of a crowded parking lot, you rely on your car’s advanced safety features to keep things smooth and stress-free. But what happens when your backup camera, lane assist, or collision warning system starts acting off? That shopping cart lurking in your blind spot might go unnoticed, and suddenly, that sense of security takes a hit. When your ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) isn’t calibrated correctly, it’s a huge inconvenience but also a potential safety risk.

Whether your windshield also requires replacement or your ADAS is overdue for a check-up, our expert technicians come equipped to handle recalibrations wherever you are. You’ll get high-quality service that guarantees your sensors, cameras, and systems are aligned perfectly every time! Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Guarantee Your ADAS System is in Working Order
If you drive a newer vehicle, you’ve probably noticed just how smart it is, like how your backup camera shows you exactly what’s behind you or how it warns you when you’re too close to another vehicle. That’s all thanks to your Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). It relies on sensors, cameras, and radars, often mounted on or near your windshield, to keep you safe by detecting obstacles, monitoring lanes, and even helping with parking.
When your windshield is replaced, the cameras and sensors can be slightly out of alignment. Even the smallest shift can mean your car’s safety features aren’t working as they should. Recalibration ensures every sensor and camera is in its proper place and communicating accurately with your car’s system.
Understanding the Recalibration Process
Before we begin your recalibration service, our technicians will determine if your vehicle requires static calibration, dynamic calibration, or a combination of both.
Once calibration is complete, we’ll perform diagnostic tests to guarantee the system is functioning properly. By the end of the process, your ADAS features, like lane-keeping assist and collision detection, will be ready to support you on the road.

Frequently Asked Recalibration Questions
Understanding technology can be challenging, especially when referring to the technology in your vehicle. Blinking dash lights, malfunctioning lane-assists, and everything in between don’t need to be the reason you avoid getting behind the wheel. We’re here to tackle any and all questions you may have about our recalibration services or anything else on your mind.
Not when you work with Vulcan Auto Glass! We have the skills, the technology, and the precision to recalibrate your vehicle from the comfort of your driveway. Once we finish installing your new windshield, we’ll recalibrate the system to make sure your ADAS features work safely and effectively. No more extra trips to the auto shop and no more added stress of making additional appointments—we make recalibration as easy as possible.
Recalibration is usually only required after a windshield replacement, sensor realignment, or major repairs affecting your vehicle’s ADAS components.
Depending on the type of recalibration your vehicle requires, our technicians can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Once we have a better understanding of your vehicle’s make, model, and year, we’ll be able to give you a more accurate estimate during our initial conversation.
You’ll almost always need a recalibration after a windshield replacement, especially if your vehicle has an ADAS system. A few signs your car may need recalibration include:
- ADAS warning lights: if your dashboard shows an ADAS error or warning light, it’s a clear sign something’s off.
- Features acting up: Lane-keeping assist, collision warnings, or other ADAS functions may not work as expected or could feel misaligned.
If you’re not sure if your vehicle requires a recalibration, don’t stress. At Vulcan Auto Glass, we’ll let you know if it’s needed and handle all the details for you.
