Frequently Asked Questions
- I have a small pit in my
windshield; can it be repaired?
Probably yes. If it is no larger than a quarter and is not in direct view of the driver, our technicians can repair it. The windshield repair process prevents the spread of cracks
from the initial point of damage. Contact Us for a cost estimate and to schedule the work.

- My windshield is cracked; do I
HAVE to replace it?
Very likely, yes. Modern windshields contribute to the structural shell that
protects drivers and passengers and are critical safety items.
Besides, Minnesota State law forbids driving a car with a cracked
windshield; you could be ticketed (See
MN Statute 169.71, Subdivision 1). Visit our
Auto Estimate page to
provide us the necessary information.

- Do you have my windshield in
stock?
We carry an extensive inventory of popular windshields. For
windshields that are not in our storeroom, our suppliers make deliveries
several times a day. If we don't have it, we can get it in less than a
day.

- What will a new windshield cost
me?
Most car insurance policies carry a zero deductible rate for glass
replacement -- that means you pay
nothing.

- Will my insurance premium
increase?
Insurance companies usually do not increase premium rates
due to glass replacement. Contact your insurance agent for more
information.

- How long will it take?
Most windshields take around an hour to replace; the sealants require an
additional 3 hours to set. After that, the car can be driven. We
recommend leaving a side window open around one inch and to abstain from car
washes for an additional 48 hours.

- Do I get a box of steaks or other
incentive when I
have you replace my windshield?
Providing gifts as incentives to attract business is no longer legal for
glass companies in Minnesota.

- My door-mounted mirror is cracked.
Can the mirror be replaced without replacing the entire housing?
If only the mirror is damaged, our technicians can often replace it a
significantly reduced cost compared to replacing the entire housing.
