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

Small chips and cracks can sometimes be repaired, but a full windshield replacement may be necessary for more extensive damage. You'll know it's time for a replacement if your windshield has a crack longer than a dollar bill or a chip larger than a nickel. Immediate replacement is also critical if there’s any damage directly in your line of sight while driving, as this presents a significant safety hazard. Cracks at the edges of the windshield compromise the vehicle’s overall structural integrity and require glass replacement. If you have multiple intersecting chips or cracks, repairs are typically not a long-term solution, making replacement the more advisable option.

Will my insurance cover the cost of a windshield replacement in Federal Way?

Some comprehensive auto insurance policies include coverage for windshield replacement, though the specific terms and conditions can differ based on your provider and policy. While a deductible may apply, many insurers waive deductibles for safety-related glass replacement. Some policies even offer specialized glass coverage that reduces or eliminates deductibles. We work with all major companies to handle the insurance claim process directly, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you.

How long does a windshield replacement take in Federal Way?

Windshield replacement in Federal Way typically takes between 1–2 hours. Factors that can affect the time required include your vehicle's make and model, the presence of advanced safety systems, current weather conditions, and final quality checks. Our glass specialists work diligently to ensure a perfect result and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

Do you offer ADAS calibration during windshield replacement in Federal Way?

Yes! Our expert Federal Way windshield replacement glass specialists use manufacturer-approved calibration equipment to ensure your safety systems perform exactly as designed. ADAS calibration is crucial for vehicles with camera-based safety systems. Windshield replacement necessitates precise positioning for these advanced systems (often mounted on or near the windshield) to function correctly. Without proper calibration, essential features like automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control may not operate as intended.
