Does Tesla require ADAS calibration after windshield replacement?

Most modern Tesla 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 Tesla 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 Tesla 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 Tesla 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.
