Frequently Asked Questions

Can a cracked windshield be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

It depends on the size, depth, and location of the damage. Small chips and short cracks that have not penetrated both layers of glass can often be repaired. However, if the crack is long, spreading, or directly in the driver’s line of sight, replacement may be the safest option. Our technicians will inspect the damage and recommend the safest solution.

Most windshield repairs take about 30–60 minutes. The process involves injecting a specialized resin into the damaged area to restore structural integrity and prevent the crack from spreading.

Windshield replacement typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the vehicle. After installation, there is a safe drive-away time to allow the adhesive to cure properly. In most cases, you can drive your vehicle approximately two hours after installation.

Safe Drive-Away Time (SDAT) is the time required for the adhesive used in windshield installation to reach a safe strength. This ensures your windshield supports proper airbag deployment and structural integrity in the event of a collision.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) include safety features like lane departure warnings, collision alerts, and adaptive cruise control. After windshield replacement, cameras and sensors may require recalibration to ensure these systems function properly and accurately.

Not all vehicles require recalibration, but many newer models do. Our technicians will determine whether calibration is necessary based on your vehicle’s make and model.

We use OEM-quality or equivalent automotive glass that meets industry safety standards. Our materials are designed to match the strength, clarity, and fit of your vehicle’s original glass.

If the crack is longer than a few inches, extends to the edge of the windshield, or affects visibility in the driver’s line of sight, replacement is typically recommended. We provide a professional assessment before beginning any service.

Why does my vehicle need to be recalibrated?

After a windshield replacement, most modern vehicles with forward-facing cameras require ADAS recalibration — a static, dynamic, or combined procedure performed by a certified technician to ensure safety systems like lane assist and automatic braking function correctly, and it’s typically covered by comprehensive insurance.

It is a liability for our shop to replace the glass and not recalibrate it after. ADAS calibrations are essential to the driver’s and road safety. It is very necessary.

How do I know if I have full glass coverage?

We don’t mind calling your insurance together to find out. It varies on the state of the policy and the policy holder.

No, we can give cash prices but we recommend going through insurance when possible especially for vehicle with calibrations.
