Has anyone done a windshield replacement near ICAD recently? Need some honest feedback
So I've been putting this off for way too long and now I'm paying the price - that little stone chip I got on the highway a few months back has turned into a massive crack that's slowly creeping its way across the driver's side and I can feel it's only going to get worse with the temperature changes we're having. I work over near the industrial area so I'm hoping to find somewhere nearby that I can drop the car off during my lunch break and pick it up after work without having to drive all the way across the city. I've been reading up on what to look for and apparently the biggest issue with these modern cars is getting the recalibration right for all the sensors and cameras that are mounted behind the glass, because if that's not done properly you'll have warning lights flashing and safety systems that don't work when you need them most. I was talking to a colleague who had his BMW done recently and he mentioned that finding a Reliable auto glass and windscreen fitting near ICAD Abu Dhabi was actually harder than he expected because a lot of the smaller shops don't have the equipment to do the sensor calibration properly and just tell you to take it to the dealer afterwards, which kind of defeats the purpose of saving money in the first place. He eventually found a place that did the whole thing in one go including the calibration but said it took them a bit longer because they had to drive the car to recalibrate the camera system properly. I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone through this process recently and can recommend somewhere that won't mess up the job or overcharge for the calibration part. Also, how long did you have to wait before driving the car normally because I've heard the adhesive needs time to cure properly and I don't want to rush it and end up with leaks or worse.
