Types of windshield camera Recalibration?.
Dynamic recalibration.
Requires driving the vehicle at a set speed on well-marked roads to recalibrate the camera system. Typically takes up to one hour or more, depending on the make and model of the vehicle. If your car’s windshield replacement requires a dynamic recalibration, you may qualify for our mobile service.
Static recalibration
Requires a specific target image mounted on a fixture in front of the vehicle during the recalibration process. Typically takes up to one hour or more, depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Static recalibration requires a controlled environment, and therefore, should not be done outdoors or in a place without adequate space and level ground.
