Recalibrate, always
A moved camera is an inaccurate camera.
The safety system nobody recalibrated
A new windshield, a moved camera, and lane keeping working from the wrong reference.
How we work
Recalibration is part of the job
Most cars built in the last decade run lane keeping and automatic emergency braking from a camera bonded behind the windshield. Replace the glass and that camera moves by millimetres, which is enough to put its reference out. The car gives no warning; the system simply becomes less accurate at exactly the moment it is needed.
So recalibration is not an upsell, it is the second half of the job, and a quote that omits it is not cheaper — it is incomplete. The honest version states before work whether it happens in house, goes to a third party, or needs a dealer.
The other thing Florida drivers should know is why they keep being offered gift cards for a free windshield. Those offers come attached to assigning insurance benefits to the shop, a practice that has produced mass litigation and inflated claims. A shop that offers no inducement and bills only for work you directed is declining a business model, not a courtesy.
Our principles
Three beliefs behind the method
Give the drive-away time
It is a safety figure, in writing.
No assignment of benefits
And no gift cards for a claim.
