Glass Doctor’s Windshield Protection Plan
Windshield chips and cracks can happen anytime, anywhere. They're not only annoying, but they can also pose a safety hazard. We offer added peace of mind and windshield coverage on the road with our Windshield Protection Plan.
Glass Doctor’s Windshield Protection Plan offers two coverage levels:
Basic Windshield Protection Plan (Free): This plan is automatically included with any windshield replacement by Glass Doctor Auto of Walnut Creek. It covers unlimited repairs for chips and cracks within 12 months but excludes labor, moldings, adhesives, and replacements for dealer-specific windshields.
Full Service Coverage (Additional Cost): The highest level of protection, we offer our Full-Service Plan that provides a discount for choosing all three options-- the Future Installation Option, Hydrophobic Coating, and Wiper Blades.
Additionally, we offer our Limited Windshield Warranty, which differs from our Protection Plan in that it does cover labor cost, provides a lifetime warranty against leakage, and protects against manufacturing defects that impair line of sight.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Calibration
Many modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), a suite of technologies designed to enhance your safety on the road. These systems, like lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking, and parking sensors, use cameras and sensors mounted on your windshield to detect potential hazards and assist you in avoiding them.
During your windshield replacement, Glass Doctor Auto will:
- Assess your vehicle's ADAS needs: We'll determine if your car requires ADAS calibration based on the make, model, and specific features.
- Employ advanced calibration tools: Our technicians use specialized equipment to precisely calibrate the windshield camera to factory specifications.
- Verify system functionality: Following calibration, we'll perform a thorough diagnostic test to ensure all your ADAS features are functioning flawlessly.

Windshield Repair FAQs
Glass Doctor has been providing quality windshield repairs and replacements for more than 60 years. We understand the inconveniences that a damaged windshield can cause and are here to get you back on the road ASAP while answering any questions that you may have.
Q: How long is the typical wait time for a windshield repair in Walnut Creek, CA?
A: It's always best to call your local Glass Doctor to get an accurate estimate on wait times based on their current schedule and your specific needs. Simple repairs can be as quick as 30 minutes to 1 hour, while more complex repairs may require up to 2 hours.
Q: Can I repair a chip in my windshield?
A: The ability to repair a windshield is largely dependent on the location and severity of the damage. If your windshield has chips (under 3/8 inch) that are not in the driver's line of sight, it can likely be repaired by a professional. However, if the chip is over an inch long or in a tough location, you may need windshield replacement.
Q: Can a chip in my windshield spread again even after it has been repaired?
A: Untreated chips do spread, obstructing your outside view. A windshield chip that has been repaired is not likely to spread, although there's no guarantee of this. However, we do offer a guarantee with a full windshield replacement. If your new windshield gets damaged — or if cracks spread — within a year, we will repair your windshield free of charge. If we cannot reasonably and safely repair it, we'll replace it.
Q: Can you repair windshields made of both laminated glass and tempered glass?
A: Windshields are typically made of laminated glass because it tends to be safer in the instance that it breaks. The windshields that we replace are made of laminated glass and are known for qualities such as noise and weather insulation, safety, and durability.
