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

While small chips and cracks can often be repaired, a full windshield replacement is sometimes necessary. It’s time for a replacement if you have a crack longer than a dollar bill or a chip larger than a nickel. Immediate replacement is also crucial for any damage directly in your line of sight while driving, as this poses a significant safety risk. Cracks at the edges of the windshield are particularly problematic as they compromise the overall structural integrity. Additionally, if you have multiple intersecting chips or cracks, repairs typically are not a long-term solution, making replacement the more advisable option.

How long does a windshield replacement take in Grand Forks, ND?

The duration of a replacement can vary, especially given our unique climate in the Red River Valley. While the mechanical replacement often takes about an hour, the adhesive cure time is heavily influenced by temperature and humidity. During a harsh Grand Forks winter, or even a chilly day, we take extra care to ensure the adhesive has set properly before you drive away. Your safety is our priority. Your local Glass Doctor Auto of Fargo specialists will account for the current weather conditions and any necessary ADAS calibration to provide you with an accurate completion time.

Do you offer ADAS calibration during windshield replacement?

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

Will my insurance cover the cost of a windshield replacement?

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 directly with all major insurance companies and manage the claim process on your behalf, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
