A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Call
Florida Drivers with Comprehensive Insurance Pay $0
Florida Statute 627.7288 prohibits insurers from applying a deductible to windshield repairs or replacements under a comprehensive policy. That means if you have comprehensive auto coverage, your windshield replacement costs you nothing out of pocket. A Star handles the entire claim process so you don't have to call your insurance company, fill out forms, or chase anyone down. You can verify this law directly at the Florida Legislature's website.
Modern Vehicles Need ADAS Recalibration After Windshield Replacement
If your car was made after 2015 and has lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, or forward collision detection, the camera mounted at or near your windshield needs to be recalibrated after any glass replacement. A Star performs in-house static ADAS calibration immediately after installation in our Sarasota shop. This is not a side service or an add-on, it is how every eligible vehicle gets treated before it leaves our bay. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has documented the safety impact of properly functioning ADAS systems.
We Come to You for Standard Jobs
Mobile service is available for standard windshield replacements across Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties, provided weather conditions are suitable. If your vehicle has ADAS technology, a shop appointment is the right call. Static calibration requires a level surface, controlled lighting, and precise target placement, none of which can be reliably achieved in a parking lot or driveway. Call us and we'll figure out the right approach for your vehicle.

Where We Work
Our shop is in Sarasota, and that's where ADAS calibration happens. For standard replacements and mobile jobs, we cover a wide range across the three-county area. If you're in Bradenton, Venice, North Port, Englewood, or anywhere in between, we can almost certainly get to you. If your city isn't listed below, just call and ask.
Shop vs. Mobile: What to Expect
About 80-85% of A Star's work happens at the Sarasota shop. That's not by accident. Shop conditions give us a level surface, the right lighting, and the precise setup needed for ADAS calibration. If you're driving a vehicle with forward-facing cameras and sensors, an in-shop appointment is the safer choice. Mobile service works well for standard jobs in good weather. When you call, we'll let you know which option makes the most sense for your car.
Fleet and Commercial Inquiries
If you manage a fleet of vehicles and need a consistent windshield replacement and calibration partner, reach out directly at (941) 893-7353 or [email protected]. A Star provides fleet billing, single-point-of-contact service, and same-day or next-day turnaround for commercial accounts in Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties. We also provide standalone ADAS calibration services for body shops that lack in-house equipment.

Who You're Contacting
Alex Semencha Has Been Doing This Since 2006
Alex founded A Star Auto Glass in Sarasota in 2012. Before that, he spent years in the automotive industry, including hands-on training in auto glass installation and running an auto accessories and window tinting business in Washington state. He didn't stumble into calibration when it became popular. He invested in the equipment, got certified, and built the shop environment required to do it properly while most of the industry was still catching up.
When you call A Star, there's a real chance Alex answers. He's mentioned by name in more than 30 Google reviews. That's not a coincidence and it's not a marketing angle. It's just how he runs his business.
180+ Google Reviews. 4.9 Stars.
35% of A Star's Google reviews are from Local Guides, which carry more credibility weight in Google's algorithm. Alex personally responds to over 85% of reviews, positive and negative. If you'd like to see what Sarasota drivers say before you call, the Google Business Profile is the right place to start.
Your Safety Is What Drives the Standard of Care
The windshield is a structural component of your vehicle and a sensor housing for its most important safety systems. A Star installs OEM or OEE-quality glass, uses Sika-brand adhesive that meets FMVSS 212, and performs ADAS recalibration before any vehicle leaves the shop if the job requires it. Lifetime warranty on workmanship. No skipped steps. You can read about ADAS safety standards and vehicle safety research at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Common Questions Before You Call
How quickly do you respond to quote requests?
Same day, almost always. If you submit a form or call during business hours, you'll hear back before the day is done. For same-day windshield service, a phone call is the fastest path. If you call before noon, there's a good chance we can get to your vehicle the same afternoon.
I'm not sure if my insurance covers this. Can you check for me?
Yes. Just give us your insurance carrier name and your coverage type (comprehensive vs. liability) and we'll confirm what applies to your situation. Florida law under Statute 627.7288 means most drivers with comprehensive coverage pay $0 for windshield replacement, but coverage varies by policy. We've handled a lot of these conversations and we know what to look for.
Does my car need ADAS calibration, or is that only for certain vehicles?
It depends on the vehicle. If your car was built after 2015 and includes lane departure warning, forward collision braking, or automatic emergency braking, it almost certainly requires recalibration after windshield replacement. When you call or submit a form, let us know the year, make, and model and we'll confirm before the appointment. We run an electronic pre-scan before any glass work begins so there's no ambiguity about what your vehicle needs.
Can you come to my location, or do I need to bring the car to you?
Both options are available depending on the job. Mobile service works well for standard windshield replacements in suitable weather across the three-county area. If your vehicle has ADAS technology, we'll recommend a shop appointment at our Sarasota facility. Static calibration cannot be performed reliably in the field. When you reach out, we'll figure out which approach makes sense for your specific vehicle.
Is there anything I need to prepare before contacting you?
Not much. Your name, phone number, and a general description of the damage are enough to start the conversation. Vehicle year, make, and model helps, and your insurance carrier name is useful if you plan to file a claim. If you have photos of the damage, those can sometimes tell us in advance whether repair or replacement is the right call. But none of that is required before you reach out.
Hand Us the Keys. We'll Handle the Rest.
Same-day windshield replacement, in-house ADAS calibration, and full insurance handling under Florida Statute 627.7288. Call Alex, send a message, or stop by the shop on Sawyer Rd.
