Got a new windshield, bumper repair, or alignment?

Your car's safety cameras and sensors may need re-aiming. Modern cars use a camera behind the windshield and radar sensors behind the bumpers to see the road. After glass, body or suspension work, they can end up pointing slightly off, and that's often not obvious. Signs can include:

  • Lane-keep tugging the wheel when you're centered, or not helping at all
  • Braking or collision warnings when nothing is there
  • Warnings that stop working, or a dashboard light that won't go away

Re-aiming them is called calibration. This check shows whether your repair usually calls for it.

How the check works

Three steps from VIN to a confirmed calibration plan.

  1. Step 01

    Decode the VIN

    We look up the year, make, model and any driver-assist features using NHTSA's free VIN decoder.

  2. Step 02

    Match the repair

    Each repair points to the sensors it usually disturbs: windshield to the front camera, bumpers to radar, alignment to the steering angle sensor and camera.

  3. Step 03

    Confirm with the OEM

    Fuzetech checks the manufacturer's procedure for the vehicle before any calibration is scheduled.

Calibration Questions

Plain answers for drivers, plus how the check works and when calibration usually follows a repair.

What is ADAS calibration, in plain words?

ADAS means the driver-assist features in your car, like lane-keep, automatic braking and blind-spot warning. They rely on cameras and sensors that must point exactly where the carmaker intended. Calibration is re-aiming them after a repair moves or replaces them.

How do I know if my car has these features?

Enter your VIN above and we'll list the features NHTSA's decoder reports. Your owner's manual and the buttons on your steering wheel or dash are also good clues. Not every feature shows up in the VIN data, so we confirm before any work.

My windshield was replaced. How can I tell if the camera was calibrated?

Ask the glass shop whether a calibration was done and for a copy of the calibration report. If they can't provide one, or lane-keep and warnings feel off, Fuzetech can check it.

Is this check a final answer?

No. It's a quick guide based on the VIN decode and the repair type. The vehicle manufacturer's (OEM) procedures decide what's required, and Fuzetech confirms every job before scheduling.

Why does it say a feature is "Not reported"?

The free NHTSA VIN decoder often doesn't list driver-assist features, especially options that depend on trim or packages. When a feature isn't reported, we mark the calibration as likely and confirm it with the OEM information.

Do I need a calibration after a windshield replacement?

If the vehicle has a forward-facing camera behind the windshield, the camera is normally calibrated after the glass is replaced. We confirm the exact procedure for the vehicle.

What about bumper repairs and alignments?

Radar sensors sit behind bumpers, grilles and emblems, so front or rear bumper work can change their aim. An alignment changes the vehicle's thrust line, which the forward camera and steering angle sensor depend on.

Do you come to the shop?

Yes. Fuzetech provides mobile ADAS calibration throughout Los Angeles County, San Bernardino County, Orange County, Riverside County, and the High Desert, when the vehicle, space and OEM procedure allow it.

Will insurance pay for calibration?

Calibration is often part of a covered repair, but coverage depends on your policy and the claim. Ask your adjuster or the repair shop. We can provide documentation of the work.

Can I still drive before it's calibrated?

Your driver-assist features may not work as designed until they're checked. Drive as you would without them, and have the car checked soon. If brakes or steering feel wrong, see a mechanic or dealer right away.

Is my VIN stored?

The VIN is sent to NHTSA's public decoder to look up the vehicle. It's only sent to Fuzetech if you submit a booking request. A shared results link contains the VIN, so only share it with people you trust.
