FAQs about Car Window Replacement

How long does it take to replace a car window?

The completion time will depend on the complexity of the project and how many windows need to be replaced. Your Glass Doctor service professional will provide you with an accurate timeline for completion.

Can I repair a small crack or chip instead of replacing the entire window?

No, car windows must be replaced, due to how they were created. Even a minor chip in your window will require replacement.

Do you provide windshield replacement services on older vehicles?

Because our windshield replacement is 100% mobile, we cannot provide services on vehicles over 20 years old. Several reasons include the likelihood of sun-damaged gaskets, dry rotted clips and moldings, crunchy cowls, and hidden rust. Resolving these issues during mobile replacement services with the vehicle open to the elements is difficult. We recommend having windshield replacement on older vehicles done in an “in-shop” setting. Therefore, we suggest contacting your body shop of choice for a consultation.
