BELTON, Texas. AGC Auto Glass & Car Care, a family-owned auto glass shop in Belton, Texas, is setting out how it handles ADAS camera recalibration after a windshield replacement. The information is for drivers in Belton, Fort Hood and the wider Bell County area whose vehicles carry a camera behind the windshield.

Modern vehicles run lane-keep assist and automatic emergency braking off a camera mounted to the windshield. That camera is aimed precisely through the glass. When the windshield is replaced, even a small shift in the camera's position can change where the vehicle thinks the lane lines and other vehicles are. Recalibration re-aims the system to the manufacturer's specification.

AGC performs that recalibration in-house, as part of the windshield job. At AGC the recalibration is done in-house as part of the windshield job where the vehicle requires it, and the car leaves the shop with its safety systems reading the road correctly.

The shop does not recommend skipping recalibration to save money. Skipping the step can leave lane-keep assist or automatic braking misreading the road. AGC includes it as part of a proper replacement.

If a vehicle has lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise or automatic emergency braking, it will need recalibration after a windshield replacement. When a customer books, AGC confirms exactly what that vehicle requires. Recalibration adds some time to the appointment, and the shop builds that into the time window it gives the customer.

The replacement itself is done at the shop. A chip smaller than a dollar bill can usually be repaired. Once a crack spreads past that size, reaches the edge of the glass, or sits in the driver's line of sight, a full replacement is the safe call. The windshield is a structural part of the car and holds the airbags in place in a crash, so it is not a corner to cut. AGC uses glass that meets or exceeds the original specification, sets it with the right urethane, and observes the correct safe drive-away time before the vehicle leaves. A rushed install that leaks or whistles is not a real fix.

AGC is family owned and operated. The people who quote a windshield are the same people who install it, and the same people who answer the phone stand behind the work.

AGC runs two shops. The Belton shop is at 303 N Main St in Belton. The Fort Hood shop is on base at 2333 Hood Stadium Rd and has its own phone line. Both are open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
