Frequently Asked Questions

Most windshield replacements take about 1-2 hours from start to finish. After installation, you'll need to wait an additional hour for the adhesive to cure before driving. We use premium urethane adhesives that allow for safe driving within that timeframe. We'll give you a clear timeline when you schedule your appointment so you can plan your day accordingly.

Yes, we can repair most cracks and chips — but timing matters. Small chips (up to the size of a quarter) and cracks less than 6 inches long can typically be repaired without replacing the entire windshield. The key is to get it fixed before the damage spreads due to temperature changes or road vibrations. If the damage is in the driver's line of sight or has compromised the glass structure, replacement may be necessary.

In most cases, yes. Comprehensive auto insurance typically covers windshield repair and replacement with little or no deductible.

Call us! We're here to help even after you leave. If you notice any issues with your installation or have concerns about how your new glass is performing, just give us a call. We'll arrange for a technician to inspect the work and resolve any problems promptly. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems — features like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. Many of these systems rely on cameras mounted to the windshield. When we replace your windshield, these cameras need to be re-calibrated to ensure they're reading the road correctly. We have the specialized equipment and training to perform these calibrations right at your location.

Yes, calibration is included whenever your vehicle requires it after a windshield replacement. We'll check your vehicle's systems before and after installation to determine if calibration is needed. Some vehicles require dynamic calibration (driving at specific speeds), while others need static calibration (performed in our shop). We'll explain exactly what's needed for your specific vehicle.

Most vehicles manufactured after 2013 have some form of ADAS technology. Common indicators include lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring. If your vehicle has any of these features, it likely requires calibration after windshield replacement. We can check your specific vehicle model and confirm what's needed.

Improperly calibrated ADAS systems can be dangerous. Your safety features may not work correctly, potentially leading to accidents. Lane departure warnings might not activate, automatic emergency braking could fail, or adaptive cruise control might malfunction. Proper calibration ensures these life-saving technologies function as designed.

In many cases, yes! We maintain a large inventory of glass for common vehicles and can often accommodate same-day appointments, especially for mobile service. However, availability depends on our schedule and whether we have your specific glass in stock. If you need urgent service, give us a call and we'll do our best to get you scheduled quickly.

If we're coming to you, please ensure your vehicle is accessible — parked in a driveway or open area with at least 20 feet of space around it for our work. Remove any personal items from the dashboard and shelves. Have your insurance information ready if filing a claim. That's about it! We'll handle the rest, including cleaning up any debris from the old glass.

After windshield replacement, you'll typically need to wait about 1 hour before driving to allow the adhesive to cure properly. We use premium urethane adhesives that cure quickly and safely. We'll give you specific instructions based on your vehicle and the conditions when we complete the installation.
