What harm is there in not getting a calibration?
Modern vehicles are advanced machines, with dozens of systems working together to deliver you a comfortable and safe ride. Driving a vehicle with uncalibrated ADAS systems is putting you and your family at risk of harm, and is strongly discouraged.
Why would you drive your newly repaired vehicle down the highway, not knowing if the safety systems are functioning as intended? To limit liability, insurers will often pay towing charges if a system calibration is needed outside of an auto body repair. Call SOS Auto Glass & Calibration at 314-288-1600 to start the process now.
Why choose SOS Auto Glass for a safety system calibration?
Your choice should come down to three factors: control, verification and peace of mind. By choosing SOS to complete your system calibration, damage to the vehicle is minimized since the vehicle is changing hands one less time. And not only are dealers expensive, but they may also perform the calibration incorrectly. Please keep in mind some calibrations require bumper covers to be removed, thereby an alignment may have to be done after wheel repairs, etc.
In addition, if SOS Auto Glass & Calibration is performing the calibration, we will have the necessary proof and documentation that calibrations were performed correctly. Dealers and sublet vendors are not necessarily going to photo document ADAS Calibrations. Potential also exists for dealers and sublet vendors to not drive the vehicle verifying calibrations are performed correctly and the necessary ADAS are properly functioning.
All of the above adds up to peace of mind by choosing SOS Auto Glass. When your vehicle is returned, you know your vehicle will both look and perform like new.
Calibration is complicated!
