Does Audi require ADAS calibration after windshield replacement?

Most modern Audi vehicles have ADAS cameras behind the windshield that require post-replacement calibration. We include full ADAS calibration in our windshield replacement service at no extra charge.

What kind of glass do you install on Audi vehicles?

OE-equivalent aftermarket glass that meets OEM specs is what we install by default — verified by VIN before ordering. OEM glass is available on request or when your insurer requires it. Using the correct part number prevents fit issues, water leaks, and ADAS malfunction.

Can you bill my insurance for my Audi windshield replacement?

Yes. We work directly with all major insurance companies and bill them directly — you pay only your deductible. You pay only your deductible - if you have one. Many policies cover glass with $0 deductible.

How long does a Audi windshield replacement take?

Most windshield replacements are completed in 2 hours or less. We offer same-day and next-day scheduling. After installation, the vehicle must sit for 1 hour before driving to allow adhesive to cure.

German-Brand ADAS Calibration After Audi Windshield Replacement

Audi pre sense front + rear + city + 360 ADAS Calibration Richmond VA

Audi pre sense uses a single windshield-mounted forward camera plus on pre sense plus-equipped trims a millimeter-wave radar hidden behind the four interlocking Audi rings in the grille. After windshield replacement, ODIS-spec forward-camera static + dynamic calibration is required and the rings-radar must be re-aimed. We perform both at our Colonial Heights shop. See our combined German-brand ADAS calibration page for coverage across BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen.
