ADAS Recalibration During Windshield Replacement
Does your windshield have an ADAS camera?
More and more vehicles have advanced safety systems and almost all vehicle manufacturers require that the camera connected to your windshield be recalibrated when your windshield is replaced. These systems typically use front-facing cameras as part of the vehicle’s advanced safety system which are designed to protect you and your vehicle on the road, and will only be able to do so if they are functioning correctly.
When damage occurs and a windshield replacement is necessary, these camera systems need to be re-calibrated in order to maintain the integrity of the system. The windshield repair technicians at Nick’s Auto Glass are highly trained and experienced with the recalibration process. This will ensure your vehicle safety systems are working properly and continue to keep you safe on the road.
Windshield damage can be dangerous when driving.
It is impor tant not to wait to repair or replace your windshield when damage occurs. Nick’s Auto Glass has been in business since 2009 with over 20 years of auto glass repair experience. We are dedicated to providing quality, efficient auto glass repairs at an affordable price.

Greetings everyone from the beautiful Kenai Peninsula. We are excited and proud to host our 36th annual Kenai Peninsula Sport Rec & Trade Show. I welcome you along with our 104 REALTORS® and many Affiliate members that help put this on.
This year’s event is May 5-May 7 at the Soldotna Sports Center, where we are going to have an ‘even larger selection’ of food vendors, outdoor activities and inside vendors for the full weekend of fun and recreation. We also have the addition of some large vendors that we haven’t had before with a variety of ATVs on display and a well-known fishing and hunting vendor from California is flying up specifically for our event.
Saturday and Sunday May 6th & 7th
Admission: Adults $5
Students and Seniors $4
Many thanks go out to everyone that makes this show, including the vendors and sponsors. We would not be able to do this without them. I am so proud that we come together as a community and put on such dynamic events like this for everyone to enjoy. Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart. Happy spring.
