Why Is It Important to Timely Replace
Your Windshield?
01
Maintains Structural Integrity
Your windshield does more than give you a view- it’s a core part of your vehicle’s frame. A properly installed windshield maintains cabin strength and ensures your airbags deploy correctly in an accident.
02
Improves Visibility
Cracks, chips, and glare don’t just look bad- they’re distracting and dangerous. A clean replacement restores a clear, unobstructed view of the road ahead.
03
Keeps You Road-Ready
A damaged windshield can compromise your vehicle’s roadworthiness and be noted during inspection. You take care of your vehicle in a timely manner, so you don’t have to worry about your vehicle’s safety.
04
Prevents Further Damage
A small chip today can become a full crack across your windshield by next week. Early replacement prevents the problem from growing into a far more expensive fix.

FAQs
Small chips and short cracks can often be repaired, which is faster and less expensive. As a general guide, chips larger than about 3/8 of an inch or cracks longer than about 3 inches usually call for replacement, as do cracks that reach the edge of the glass or sit in the driver’s line of sight.
Colorado’s temperature swings can turn a small chip into a long crack quickly. So, reach out to us.
The urethane adhesive that holds your windshield in place needs time to cure before the vehicle is safe to drive. Under normal conditions, this is often about an hour, but cold weather and humidity can change it.
This matters for safety, since the bonded windshield supports your airbags. We’ll give you a specific safe drive-away time for your vehicle.
If your vehicle has features like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control, the cameras and sensors mounted near the windshield usually need to be recalibrated after the glass is replaced. Skipping this step can cause these safety systems to work inaccurately, or not at all.
Many auto policies include glass coverage, and some cover chip repairs fully. Your deductible and coverage depend on your policy, so check with your insurance provider first. Have your policy information handy when you contact us, and we’ll walk you through the process.
OEM glass is made by or for your vehicle’s manufacturer and matches the original exactly. Aftermarket glass is built to meet safety standards and often costs less, though quality and fit can vary by brand.
For vehicles with cameras, sensors, or heads-up displays, a precise fit matters even more. We’ll help you choose the best option for your vehicle and budget.
