In today’s automotive landscape, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) play a crucial role in enhancing driver safety and vehicle control. These cutting-edge technologies are designed to alert the driver, assist with steering, braking, and acceleration, and prevent potential collisions. However, when a windshield requires repair or replacement, the ADAS system must be properly recalibrated to ensure its features function as intended.
At True Auto Care in Fergus, ON, we provide ADAS calibration services as part of our NOVUS Glass windshield repair and replacement solutions. Whether your vehicle has lane departure warning systems, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, or other ADAS safety features, our technicians ensure everything is realigned and functioning accurately after a windshield replacement.
ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, refers to a collection of electronic safety systems designed to improve vehicle control, reduce accidents, and enhance the overall driving experience. These systems rely on sensors, cameras, radars, and LiDAR (light detection and ranging) to monitor the surrounding environment in real time.
ADAS systems can be categorized into active safety features (which actively assist the driver in controlling the vehicle) and passive safety features (which provide alerts and warnings). Here are some of the most common ADAS features found in modern vehicles:
Lane Departure Warning System – Alerts the driver if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without using a turn signal.
Lane Keeping Assistance – Actively steers the vehicle back into the lane if the driver does not respond to lane departure warnings.
Adaptive Cruise Control – Automatically adjusts the vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead.
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) – Detects imminent collisions and applies the brakes to prevent or reduce impact.
Collision Warning Systems – Uses sensors and cameras to alert the driver about obstacles, pedestrians, or potential hazards.
Blind Spot Detection – Monitors the vehicle’s blind spots and alerts the driver if another vehicle is present.
Night Vision Assistance – Enhances visibility in low-light conditions by detecting pedestrians, animals, or other objects using infrared sensors.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) – Helps maintain vehicle stability by automatically adjusting braking and engine power during skids or sharp turns.
These safety features rely heavily on sensors and cameras, many of which are mounted on or near the windshield. That’s why windshield repair and replacement directly impact the performance of ADAS technologies.
Most modern vehicles incorporate a front-facing ADAS camera located near the rearview mirror. This camera plays a vital role in monitoring the road, detecting lane markings, and supporting other ADAS safety systems.
When your windshield is cracked, chipped, or needs replacement, the ADAS system may become misaligned or inoperable. Even a slight change in the camera’s position can lead to incorrect readings, increasing the risk of false alerts or failure of key safety features such as collision warning, emergency braking systems, and lane-keeping assistance.
To ensure optimal performance and driver safety, ADAS calibration is necessary after a windshield replacement. At True Auto Care, we use advanced calibration tools to realign and recalibrate your vehicle’s safety systems to factory specifications.
There are two main types of ADAS calibration:
Static Calibration – Conducted in a controlled environment using special calibration targets and equipment to adjust ADAS cameras and sensors.
Dynamic Calibration – Requires driving the vehicle at specific speeds while specialized software fine-tunes the ADAS system in real time.
True Auto Care follows manufacturer-recommended calibration procedures to restore your vehicle’s ADAS functionality after windshield replacement.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has highlighted the importance of ADAS recalibration in maintaining road safety. A misaligned camera can result in incorrect lane departure warnings, delayed emergency braking, or inaccurate blind spot detection, putting drivers and passengers at risk.
Benefits of Proper ADAS Calibration:
Ensures Accuracy – Restores ADAS safety systems to their original functionality.
Prevents Malfunctions – Avoids false alerts or system failures caused by misaligned sensors.
Maintains Vehicle Control – Supports electronic stability control and lane-keeping assistance.
Enhances Driver Confidence – Provides peace of mind knowing that collision warning, emergency braking systems, and adaptive cruise control are working correctly.
Failing to recalibrate ADAS after windshield replacement can compromise your vehicle’s safety, making proper calibration an essential step in the process.
At True Auto Care in Fergus, ON, we prioritize safety and precision when performing windshield repair and replacement. Our trained technicians follow a meticulous calibration process to ensure your ADAS features function seamlessly after windshield replacement.

ADAS Calibration – We conduct static or dynamic calibration, depending on the manufacturer’s requirements, to restore camera alignment and accuracy.

Wonderful experience, the girls at the front desk are patient and kind. The service was done well, on time. We pre-booked the snow tire removal and switchover for the spring. The owner is very friendly and kind and the courtesy service was super helpful on a busy day. Would absolutely recommend for anyone!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently brought my vehicle to True Auto Care Fergus for a safety inspection and some service, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team did a very thorough job and gave me a full, detailed report with pictures of everything they found. That level of transparency really builds TRUST, and it made me feel confident in the work being done. The service was professional and done right, and I especially want to thank Emily at the front desk. She was welcoming, friendly, and explained everything clearly, which made the whole process stress-free. I'm(KK) very satisfied with the work. Special shout-out to Mr. Skyler, the tech who worked on my car — he did a fantastic job, and now my auto is fully safe to drive and meets the new MTO digital safety standards. It’s not every day you walk out of an auto shop actually feeling good about the experience — but that’s exactly what happened here. True Auto Care definitely earned my respect and my recommendation. If you’re in Fergus Ontario or the area and want a shop you can rely on, this is the place to go. – Chevy TrucKK (KK) Lover 💪

Such a great garage to deal with. My car broke down away from home and you guys did a great job getting me back up and going. I can’t say enough about how great my experience was. I even told you that when I was leaving. If you were closer to me I would 100% make you my go to garage. Communication about what was wrong and the repair was outstanding!!

Kerrigan Nealson Aug 8, 2025
Friendly, responsive and timely. My only critique is that I think they could have cleaned the windshield as part of the service and to show off their great work. Otherwise, well done.
Anita Zeitler Aug 8, 2025
Fantastic team! It's unheard of to get a BMW service bill under 3 digits. The team assessed my problem and came back with two options (one being take it to BMW for authentic parts). I chose their simple solution. Appreciated the option offering. Great solution and FANTASTIC cost. They've earned a new repeat customer!
