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

Several factors determine whether your windshield can be repaired or needs replacement: Chips larger than a nickel or cracks longer than three inches typically require replacement. Any damage in your primary viewing area should be replaced for safety. Multiple chips or cracks that intersect also weaken the glass beyond repair limits. The depth of damage matters, too. Surface scratches might be repairable, but damage that penetrates both glass layers requires replacement. Our Anderson-area specialists carefully assess each situation to ensure you receive the safest and most cost-effective solution. If you're unsure, we’re happy to help you determine whether you need a repair or full Anderson windshield replacement.

Will my insurance cover the cost of a windshield replacement?

Insurance coverage for an Anderson windshield replacement varies between different policies and providers. We work with most insurance companies to help streamline the claims process. Contact your insurance company to understand your specific coverage and any costs you might be responsible for.

How long does a windshield replacement take?

Anderson windshield replacements usually take 1–2 hours. The process is more complex for vehicles with cameras and sensors due to the need for calibration, while simpler vehicles are more straightforward. We also account for weather conditions, which can impact the setting time of adhesives. Our specialists prioritize both speed and reliability to get you back on the road safely and efficiently. We understand your need to continue with your day, so we've optimized our process to be quick without compromising essential safety steps.

Do you offer ADAS calibration during windshield replacement in Anderson?

Yes! Our expert glass specialists use manufacturer-approved ADAS calibration equipment to ensure your safety systems perform as intended. ADAS calibration is essential for vehicles with camera-based safety systems mounted on or near the windshield. When a windshield is replaced, these systems need precise positioning to function correctly. Without proper calibration, critical features such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control may not respond as intended.
