Frequently asked questions

Why does cost vary so much?
Vehicle make, glass quality, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that require recalibration after replacement.
How can I save?
Compare quotes, check insurance coverage, and consider aftermarket glass. Some insurers waive deductible for chip repair.
Is it safe to drive with a cracked windshield?
No, it impairs visibility and weakens structural integrity. Replace if crack is longer than a few inches or in driver's line of sight.
