The increasing number of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that use windscreen mounted cameras means that camera calibration, following glass replacement or accident damage, is absolutely necessary to ensure these safety features continue to work as intended. ADAS camera calibration is best carried out in workshop conditions, a requirement specified by over 75% of car manufacturers. National Windscreens UK-wide network of ADAS calibration centres means we lead the market in this service provision, ensuring policyholders can drive away safely after just one visit.
