  • Why do I need to replace my windshield?

    Windshield replacement becomes necessary when the glass is cracked, chipped, or significantly damaged, as these issues can compromise your visibility and safety while driving. Even minor cracks have the potential to expand over time, particularly due to temperature fluctuations or pressure changes, which can further compromise the windshield's structural integrity.
  • How long does it take to replace a windshield?

    The process of replacing a windshield generally requires approximately 1-2 hours, with the exact duration depending on the specific vehicle model and the intricacy of the installation. Should additional services or inspections be necessary, the total time may be extended slightly.
  • Is it possible to repair a cracked windshield instead of replacing it?

    Windshield repair is often feasible for minor chips or cracks measuring less than 1 inch in length. However, more extensive damage or cracks located within the driver's line of sight typically necessitate a complete replacement to ensure optimal safety.
  • How much does a windshield replacement cost?

    The cost of windshield replacement varies based on factors such as your vehicle's make and model, the specific type of glass required, and your geographical location. For an accurate price estimate, we recommend requesting a personalized quote.
  • Will my insurance cover windshield replacement?

    Many insurance policies include coverage for windshield replacement, but the extent of coverage depends on your specific provider and plan. Some policies offer comprehensive coverage with no deductible for windshield repairs. We advise contacting your insurance provider directly to verify your coverage details.
  • Can you replace the windshield at my location?

    Our company offers mobile windshield replacement services to accommodate your needs. We have the capability to perform the replacement at your preferred location, whether it's your residence, workplace, or another convenient site.
  • Will my new windshield be covered under warranty?

    We provide a lifetime leak warranty on our workmanship for all windshield replacements. For detailed information regarding the specific terms and conditions of our warranty, please inquire when scheduling your replacement service.
  • How do I know if my windshield needs to be replaced?

    Indications that your windshield may require replacement include noticeable damage such as substantial cracks, chips obstructing the driver's line of sight, or unusual noise while driving. Our professional team can conduct a thorough inspection of your windshield and provide expert recommendations for the most appropriate course of action.
  • Is it safe to drive with a cracked windshield?

    Operating a vehicle with a cracked windshield poses potential safety risks, particularly if the damage impairs your vision or compromises the windshield's structural integrity. We strongly recommend having the windshield repaired or replaced promptly to ensure your safety on the road.
  • Why does my vehicle need recalibration after a windshield replacement?

    Recalibration is essential following a windshield replacement because numerous modern vehicles are equipped with sensors and cameras for advanced safety features such as lane-keeping assist and automatic braking. The replacement process can potentially alter the alignment of these sensors, and recalibration ensures that these critical safety systems continue to function accurately and effectively.
