Portland Auto Glass Repair and Replacement Provider Illuminates the Importance of Lane Departure Recalibration with Windshield Replacement
PORTLAND, OREGON – Discount Auto Glass takes its service offerings to a level that exceeds that of many Portland, Oregon, automotive glass repair and replacement providers with the ability to recalibrate lane departure systems. 
Lane departure systems, also known as an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), are increasingly found in newer model vehicles. ADAS comprises of various sensors and cameras that work in conjunction with the on-board computer system, providing assistance to help the driver park, stay in their lane while driving, and more. An ADAS can be comprised of various sensors found in the windshield, bumpers, and side mirrors, and can include automatic emergency brake, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, rear collision warning, parking assist, and lane departure warnings.
When a windshield is replaced, ADAS sensors and cameras must be recalibrated to adapt to the change of the windshield. “When calibrating this system, it is time-consuming and requires precise measurements,” said a spokesperson for Discount Auto Glass. “The realignment requires the vehicle to be connected to a specialized computer.”
Without the appropriate calibration, ADAS systems can be left faulty and dysfunctional. The National Safety Council cites that ADAS systems can have an impact on 3.59 million total crashes per year, underscoring the critical need for functioning ADAS systems. Statistics show that 93% of new vehicles have some sort of ADAS, meaning that anyone in need of windshield replacement should consider whether or not they have an ADAS that needs to be recalibrated.
Many Portland-area auto glass providers do not offer recalibration of the ADAS system because the resources needed in order to do the job are costly and require extensive training. ADAS calibration also requires time to perform correctly, which happens in addition to the time it takes to replace a windshield. Although ADAS recalibration is commonly covered by auto insurance when a windshield is replaced, many people don’t get their full benefit simply because their repair service doesn’t offer lane departure and ADAS recalibration.
Discount Auto Glass, however, has its own in-house assets including Autel MaxiSys tools, a line of tools that has become a gold-standard for professional diagnostics of automobiles. The experts at Discount Auto Glass are trained and have plentiful experience in leveraging these tools to ensure the best possible ADAS system recalibrations in the Portland, Oregon, area.
