What Is the Cost to Replace My Windshield?

When your windshield is cracked, chipped or shattered, it needs to be repaired or replaced in order to keep the safety of your vehicle in check.

Glass Doctor® experts will provide repair and replacement service and work with your insurance or auto warranty company to offer an affordable price. Call 855-603-1919 for an estimate today.

Factors that Affect Windshield Replacement Costs

The price of a windshield repair is subject to your specific vehicle and type of damage sustained by the glass, which will influence the cost to replace your windshield. Typically, a replacement will cost more if the glass is customized in some way, including:

Luxury vehicles, like Mercedes or Audi, may cost more for a windshield replacement due to their specific dimensions.
Sensors that are based on the windshield may increase the price of your replacement, because the glass will have to accommodate this feature.
Tinted glass will also have a higher price tag, considering that the windshield will have to be altered after installation.
Collectible cars, as expected, will cost more to replace the windshield depending on how difficult it is to locate a proper replacement.

The cost to replace your windshield may be more than a repair, but a proper installation is necessary to ensure that your vehicle complies with driver safety standards.

Keeping Replacement Costs Low

Some insurance companies will waive your deductible and pay for windshield chip repair costs in full. If you have an auto warranty, check your specific contract to see if your provider covers windshield repairs or replacements. If it is determined that your windshield needs to be completely replaced, Glass Doctor works with your insurance company. We handle the paperwork and deal directly with your insurance company to make the process simple and easy for you.

Our glass specialists are also specially trained to evaluate whether a repair—rather than a replacement—is possible, and we always do our best to save you time and money.

Does My Windshield Need to Be Replaced?

Extreme weather, rocks and flying debris can cause chips and cracks in your vehicle’s front windshield. Regardless of whether a repair or replacement is needed, damaged windshields should be taken care of as soon as possible before they worsen. The windshield provides 60% of a car’s structural integrity in the event of a rollover.

Also keep in mind that, in many states, driving with a damaged windshield is illegal and can earn you a ticket.
