FAQs

Most Common Questions

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY WINDSHIELD NEED TO BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF REPAIRED?

If the damage is larger than a dollar bill, reaches the edge of the glass, has multiple cracks, or is directly in the driver’s line of sight, replacement is usually required. Small chips and short cracks can often be repaired if caught early.

HOW LONG DOES A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT TAKE?

Most windshield replacements take about 60–90 minutes. Additional time may be needed for safe-drive-away curing, especially on vehicles with advanced safety systems.

CAN I DRIVE MY CAR AFTER THE WINDSHIELD IS REPLACED?

Not immediately. We’ll provide a safe drive-away time, which is typically 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the adhesive used and weather conditions.

DO YOU USE OEM OR AFTERMARKET WINDSHIELDS?

Most windshields replaced are aftermarket, but we offer OEM-equivalent (OEE) and OEM windshields when available. All glass meets or exceeds federal safety standards, and we’ll help you choose the best option for your vehicle and budget.

IS WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT COVERED BY INSURANCE?

Many insurance policies cover windshield replacement. Depending on your coverage, you may pay nothing or just your deductible. We can help verify your insurance and assist with the claim process.

WHAT IS ADAS CALIBRATION AND DO I NEED IT?

If your vehicle has features like lane keep assist, automatic braking, or forward collision warning, recalibration may be required after windshield replacement. We’ll let you know if your vehicle needs ADAS calibration to ensure safety systems function properly.

DO YOU OFFER MOBILE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT?

Yes. We provide mobile service and can replace your windshield at your home, workplace, or another convenient location, weather and vehicle conditions permitting.

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS AFTER MY WINDSHIELD IS REPLACED?

Light rain is usually not an issue, but we recommend avoiding high-pressure car washes and keeping windows slightly cracked for the first 24 hours.

HOW MUCH DOES A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT COST?

Pricing varies based on vehicle make, model, glass type, and whether calibration is required. We provide upfront, transparent quotes with no hidden fees.

DO YOU WARRANTY YOUR WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENTS?

Yes. We stand behind our work with a lifetime workmanship warranty, covering leaks, air noise, and installation issues.

CAN A CRACKED WINDSHIELD FAIL INSPECTION OR BE UNSAFE?

Yes. A cracked windshield can compromise structural integrity, reduce visibility, and may fail state inspection or result in a citation.

HOW SOON SHOULD I REPLACE A CRACKED WINDSHIELD?

As soon as possible. Cracks spread quickly due to temperature changes, road vibration, and moisture—waiting can increase repair costs and safety risks.
