Do I need to replace my windshield, or can it be repaired?
Small chips, cracks, and bullseyes can often be repaired quickly and affordably. Larger cracks, significant damage, or any damage that obstructs your vision will typically require a full replacement.
Will my insurance cover the cost of repair or replacement?
Many insurance policies cover auto glass repair or replacement with comprehensive coverage. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to understand your specific coverage details. We can also assist you with filing an insurance claim if needed.
Do you use OEM-quality windshields?
Yes, we use only the highest-quality OEM-grade windshields for all replacements. This ensures a perfect fit, optimal safety, and long-lasting durability.
What happens to the ADAS features in my car after a windshield replacement?
If your vehicle is equipped with Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), it’s crucial to have them recalibrated after a windshield replacement. Our technicians are certified to perform ADAS recalibration using specialized equipment, ensuring these safety features function properly.
Can you replace the glass in my car door or back window?
Yes, we offer comprehensive auto glass services, including door glass and back window replacement for all vehicle types.
What are the signs that my car window needs to be replaced?
Some signs that your window needs replacement include large cracks, shattered glass, delamination (bubbling between the glass layers), or malfunctioning window regulators.
Can you come to me to do the service?
Yes, we offer convenient mobile auto glass repair services at your location. Our fully-equipped service vehicles allow our technicians to perform repairs directly at your home, workplace, or any other location that’s convenient for you.
What should I do if my car window gets damaged?
For your safety, it’s important to address a damaged window as soon as possible. Cover the opening with a temporary patch (like plastic) to prevent further debris from entering the vehicle and schedule an appointment for repair or replacement as soon as possible.
What is the difference between tempered and laminated glass?
Tempered glass is used for side windows and shatters into small pieces upon impact. Laminated glass is used for windshields and has a plastic layer in between the glass layers, which helps prevent shattering and keeps the glass in place in case of an accident.
