Windshield Replacement Near Me, Lake Forest, CA | Premium Windshield Installations, OEM and ADAS Calibration Irvine, CA

Why Windshield Integrity Matters

Even minor chips or cracks can compromise your visibility and safety. If the crack exceeds a quarter or the chip obstructs the driver's line of sight, a full windshield replacement is typically the best choice. A compromised windshield can obstruct your view, affecting your driving experience and safety.

Damage Location and Size

If the chip or crack is larger than a quarter, or if the damage extends more than three inches, replacement is the safer, more cost-effective option. Trying to repair large cracks can lead to further complications, and it may not fully restore the windshield's strength.

Risk of Further Damage

Over time, cracks and chips can worsen, especially with exposure to extreme weather conditions. If left untreated, a small crack can expand, requiring a complete windshield replacement. It's always better to replace it now than risk more extensive damage down the road.

Modern vehicles rely on ADAS systems that use sensors and cameras on the windshield for safety features like lane-keeping and emergency braking. After windshield replacement, calibration is essential to ensure these sensors are properly aligned, allowing all safety systems to function correctly.

We use specialized equipment to adjust the sensors and cameras, ensuring they work seamlessly with your new windshield. Without proper calibration, critical features like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control may fail, putting your safety at risk.
