Heads-Up Display (HUD) Calibration in Dallas–Fort Worth
A heads-up display projects your speed and driver-assist info onto the windshield. After a windshield replacement, that projection can land crooked, blurry, or off to one side — and it needs to be realigned to the new glass.
A heads-up display (HUD) bounces an image off a special layer in your windshield so you see your speed — and often navigation and driver-assist alerts — floating in your line of sight. It only looks crisp and centered when the projector and the glass are matched precisely.
Replace the windshield and the new glass sits a hair differently, so the HUD image can show up doubled, tilted, dim, or shifted to one side. Recalibration re-aligns the projection to the new windshield so it’s sharp and centered again.
When a HUD needs recalibration
Have your HUD checked if, after a windshield replacement, you notice:
- A blurry or doubled (ghosted) image instead of a crisp readout.
- The display sitting off-center or tilted in your view.
- Dim or partially cut-off projection.
- Driver-assist icons in the HUD not lining up with the road.

Common questions
My heads-up display looks blurry after a windshield replacement — can that be fixed?
Yes. A doubled or blurry HUD after new glass is a common alignment issue — the projection is no longer matched to the windshield. Recalibrating realigns it so the image is crisp and centered again.
Does every windshield replacement need a HUD recalibration?
Only vehicles equipped with a heads-up display, and typically only when the projection looks off after the glass is replaced. If you also have a forward camera for lane-keep or automatic braking, that usually needs its own ADAS calibration.

What our customers say
Real Google reviews from LockNCal customers.
The website was easy to navigate and I found the service I needed and was able to book the perfect time between work. The technician messaged me a day early letting me know that he would be in the area and gave me the option to get it taken care of early but unfortunately I was working. If I hadn't been that would have been amazing to get it done ahead of time. He was on time and very pleasant. Worked quickly and got my problem taken care of. It was such a better experience than sitting in a waiting room with strangers or having to take an Uber back and forth to avoid such situation. I'm already recommending them to my friends because of how easy it was. Why go to a shop to get your car fixed at the shop can just come to you?
This is my first mobile mechanic experience and I have to say Jose made it the best. He was early on the appointment he was very professional very knowledgeable and polite. If you need a mobile mechanic call lockncal and try to get Jose out he'll fix you right up. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about paying up front because I've never used this type of service before but the end result I am very pleased and will use this service again thank you Jose again if I need anything else I'll get you out to fix it.
Jose contacted me swiftly after I filled out the form on the website and discussed the part needed (clock spring) and the appointment time. I was able to get in within 2 days. He arrived early and got right to work and was done rather quickly. He communicated well the whole time. I’m very glad to be back on the road and know my airbag light is off and all my steering wheel buttons work again!
On time, reliable and incredible service. Very honest about our repair and showed us the code log. Highly recommend. Already shared his information with a family member who didn’t even know this kind of service exists. Now I can feel confident that our family’s vehicle is safe to drive again.
This is a great company to deal with ,my cruise control stopped working & they came out & gave a free diagnosis which gave a clear picture of what was exactly wrong ,highly recommended ,very professional & honest,thank you again !!!
I initially went to the dealership when the airbag light in my Nissan Rogue had come on. Upon diagnostic review, the dealership advised that it would cost around $4500 to correct the issues that they were seeing with the system. I decided to get a 2nd opinion and I called DFW Safety Restore. Jose was able to work me in next day. He was prompt and right on time for my appointment in coming out to my house to run a diagnostic on my car. The first scan showed a host of issues, the same issues the dealership reported and more. So many, that Jose suggested resetting the codes and rerunning the diagnostic to get a true picture of what was going on. He said if there are true issues with the system the diagnostic codes would reappear. The reset worked and the system went back to normal. I am so thankful for Jose, and DFW Safety Restore for saving me from unnecessary and very expensive work on my car. If you have airbag system issues with your vehicle, I highly, HIGHLY, recommend you give DFW Safety Restore a call first.
