Does Mercedes-Benz require ADAS calibration after windshield replacement?

Most modern Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benz Windshield Replacement

Mercedes-Benz Active Safety + DISTRONIC ADAS Calibration Richmond VA

Mercedes-Benz Active Safety with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC uses a single windshield-mounted forward camera plus on most current trims a millimeter-wave radar hidden behind the three-pointed Mercedes star in the grille. After windshield replacement, XENTRY / DAS-spec forward-camera static + dynamic calibration is required and the star-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.
