Speedy Windshield Repair Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, in most cases. California requires auto insurance companies to offer comprehensive coverage that includes glass repair and replacement. Many policies cover windshield replacement with zero deductible. We work with all major insurance providers — Geico, USAA, AAA, Farmers, State Farm, Progressive, and more — and we handle the entire claims process for you. Call us at (619) 761-4887 and we'll verify your coverage in minutes.

It depends on the size, location, and severity. Generally, chips smaller than a quarter and cracks shorter than about 6 inches can be repaired if they're not in the driver's direct line of sight or at the edge of the windshield. Repair takes about 30 minutes, costs $50-$75, and preserves your original factory seal. If the damage is too large, too deep, or in a critical area, full replacement is the safer option. Our technicians assess the damage on-site and give you an honest recommendation.

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. These are safety features like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, and adaptive cruise control. If your vehicle has any of these features, there's a camera or sensor mounted to your windshield. When the windshield is replaced, that camera needs to be recalibrated to manufacturer specifications so it reads the road correctly. We perform ADAS calibration on-site during the same appointment as your windshield replacement.

The actual replacement takes about 60 minutes for most vehicles. After installation, the adhesive needs approximately one hour to cure before it's safe to drive. So plan for about two hours total from the time our technician arrives to the time you can drive. We use professional-grade urethane adhesive that bonds faster and stronger than standard products.

California law requires that your windshield not obstruct the driver's view. A small chip in the corner is unlikely to get you pulled over, but a crack across the driver's line of sight can result in a fix-it ticket. More importantly, a damaged windshield is weaker structurally and may not perform as designed in a collision. It's best to get it repaired or replaced quickly.

In most cases, same day. We carry common windshield sizes in stock and can often reach you within a couple of hours of your call. For less common vehicles or specialty glass, we may need a day to source the part. We're available Monday through Saturday — 8 AM to 6:30 PM weekdays, 8 AM to 4 PM Saturday.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass is made by the same company that supplied the glass when your vehicle was built. It matches the exact specifications. Aftermarket glass meets federal safety standards but may have slight differences in tint, thickness, or fit. We use OEM and OEM-equivalent glass to ensure the best fit and performance for your vehicle.

Yes. We use glass that matches the original specifications for your vehicle. After installation, you shouldn't notice any difference in appearance, fit, or function. Our technicians clean the vehicle, remove all debris, and inspect the seal before completing the job.

Wait at least 24 hours before washing your car, and avoid high-pressure car washes for the first 48 hours. The adhesive needs time to fully cure and bond. Hand washing away from the windshield edges is fine after 24 hours. Your technician will give you specific care instructions when the job is done.

You don't need to stand there and watch, but we do need access to the vehicle and someone available at the end to review the work and receive care instructions. Most customers give us the keys and go about their day while we work. We'll text or call you when we're finishing up.
