Windshield Replacement

How long does a windshield replacement take?

Most replacements take 60–90 minutes, depending on the vehicle and the complexity of the installation.

How long before I can drive after the replacement?
Safe Drive-Away Time (SDAT) is usually 1 hour, but it can vary based on the adhesive used and current weather conditions.
Will my insurance cover the cost of a windshield replacement?
If you have comprehensive coverage, your insurance may cover all or part of the replacement. We can help verify coverage and handle the claims process.
Is the replacement glass the same quality as the original?
Yes. All glass we install meets or exceeds FMVSS safety standards and is inspected for clarity and strength.
What should I avoid after a windshield replacement?

Avoid car washes for 24 hours, don’t slam doors, leave a small window cracked to reduce pressure, and avoid removing the retention tape until recommended.

Windshield Repair

How do I know if my windshield can be repaired instead of replaced?

Generally, chips smaller than a quarter and cracks under 6 inches can be repaired. Damage outside the driver’s direct line of sight is also more likely repairable.

How long does a windshield repair take?

Most repairs take 15–30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the damage.

Will the repair be visible afterwards?

Repairs restore the integrity of the glass but may leave a small blemish. Most repairs significantly improve appearance but are not always completely invisible.

How soon can I drive after a windshield repair?

Immediately. Windshield repairs cure quickly, so you can drive right away.

What happens if the chip or crack spreads before I get it repaired?

If the damage spreads, the windshield may no longer be repairable and might require a full replacement—making early repair important.

Back Glass Replacement

How long does a back glass replacement take?
Most back glass replacements take 60–90 minutes, depending on the vehicle and whether any additional cleanup is needed.
Do you vacuum the broken glass from inside the vehicle?
Yes. We perform a full interior vacuum and cleanup to remove broken glass from seats, trunk areas, and door panels.
Does the rear defroster still work after replacement?
Yes. The new back glass includes a built-in defroster grid, and we ensure it is properly connected and functioning.
Is back glass more expensive to replace than a windshield?
Often yes. Back glass usually includes embedded defroster lines, antenna connections, or sensors, which can increase the cost.
Will my insurance cover back glass replacement?
If you have comprehensive coverage, your insurance typically covers back glass replacement. We can help verify your coverage and process the claim.

Side Window Replacment

How long does a side window replacement take?
Most side window replacements take 45–60 minutes, including cleanup and reinstallation of window mechanisms.
Will my window roll up and down like normal after replacement?
Yes. The replacement glass is installed into your existing window regulator, and we test functionality before completing the job.
Is side window glass different from windshield glass?
Yes. Side windows use tempered safety glass, which shatters into small pellets. Windshields use laminated glass that cracks but stays intact.
Can you replace side windows on all vehicle types?
Yes. We service cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and luxury vehicles, including frameless or specialty windows.
Can you replace the window if the door won’t open?
Often yes. Our technicians can usually access the window through the interior or by partially disassembling the door panel.

Power Window Repair

How long does a power window repair take?
Most repairs take 30–90 minutes, depending on the issue and vehicle type.
How do I know if the window motor or regulator is the problem?
If the window moves slowly or not at all but the motor still makes noise, it’s likely the regulator. If there’s no sound, it’s often the motor or switch.
Can you repair a regulator, or does it need to be replaced?
Most modern regulators are not repairable and typically need to be replaced for long-term reliability.
Can a power window get stuck because it’s off the track?
Yes. Windows can tilt or slip off the track, causing sticking, unusual noises, or uneven movement.
Do you need to remove the door panel to fix a power window?
Yes. Accessing the motor, regulator, and wiring requires door panel removal.
Is power window repair covered by insurance?
Insurance typically does not cover power window repair unless it’s caused by vandalism or an accident.

Safety System Recalibration

Why do ADAS systems need to be recalibrated?
Any change in windshield position, vehicle structure or sensor alignment can cause safety systems to read incorrectly. Recalibration ensures the system functions as designed.
When is recalibration required?

Recalibration is needed after:

    • Windshield replacement
    • Collision or bodywork
    • Suspension changes or alignment
    • Sensor or camera replacement
    • Airbag deployment
    • Some bumper or grille repairs
How long does a safety system recalibration take?
It typically takes 45–120 minutes, depending on the vehicle and whether static, dynamic, or both types are required.
Will the warning lights on my dashboard turn off after recalibration?
Yes. A successful recalibration usually clears ADAS-related warning lights or error messages.
How do I know if my vehicle needs both static and dynamic recalibration?
Your vehicle’s manufacturer specifications determine this. Many newer models require dual (static + dynamic) recalibration.
What systems are affected by recalibration?

Recalibration can affect:

  • Lane departure warning
  • Lane-keep assist
  • Forward collision alert
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Blind-spot monitoring
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Parking assistance
  • Traffic sign recognition
