Windshield Replacement
Full windshield replacement with quality glass and professional installation.
When replacement is the right call
Cracks longer than a dollar bill, damage in the driver’s line of sight, chips at the edge of the glass, or multiple points of damage usually mean the windshield should be replaced rather than repaired. A damaged windshield is a structural part of the vehicle — it supports the roof and gives airbags a surface to deploy against — so it’s not a cosmetic decision.
What the job involves
The old glass is cut out, the pinch weld is cleaned and prepped, new urethane adhesive is applied, and the new windshield is set and aligned. The adhesive needs a safe drive-away time before the vehicle is back on the road — your installer will tell you exactly how long for the adhesive used on your job.
Insurance
Windshield replacement is covered under the comprehensive portion of most auto policies. Depending on your deductible and your state, your out-of-pocket cost may be far less than you expect. Ask when you call — the shop can walk you through how your coverage applies before any work is done.
