Auto Glass & Recalibration in Los Altos Hills
What Los Altos Hills drivers should know
A level spot on a hillside lot
Many homes sit on sloped one-acre lots. For a windshield install we need a fairly level surface such as a garage, motor court or flat parking pad.
Glass and calibration together
When the new windshield carries a driver-assist camera, we plan the recalibration as part of the same appointment so you're not left with warning lights.
