Auto Glass Repair and Replacement in Greensboro, North Carolina

Windshield Repair vs. Replacement

A chip or small crack in the windshield can often be repaired with a resin injection, which stops the damage from spreading and restores some structural integrity. A repair works best on damage that is smaller than a dollar bill and is not in the driver's direct line of sight (within 12 inches of center). A repair costs $50–$150 and takes about 30 minutes, and the glass is ready to use immediately after curing.

A large crack, a crack that is in the driver's line of sight, or multiple damage points usually requires windshield replacement. A replacement involves removing the old windshield (grinding away the urethane sealant around the edges), installing a new piece of glass, and applying a new urethane bead to bond the new glass to the frame. A replacement typically costs $300–$800 depending on the vehicle.

North Carolina law requires a car to have a windshield free of obstructions in the driver's line of sight. A large crack or heavy damage can be a traffic violation, and some insurance policies require repair or replacement within a certain timeframe after damage is reported.

Insurance Coverage for Windshield Damage

Windshield damage is usually covered under the comprehensive coverage of a car insurance policy. The covered is typically $0–$250 deductible (some policies have $0 glass coverage with no deductible). A chip repair is usually fully covered with no deductible in many policies; a replacement is covered after the deductible.

North Carolina does not mandate zero-deductible glass coverage like some states do. Verify your glass coverage by calling your insurance company or checking your policy. If you do not have glass coverage and do not want to pay the deductible, you can pay out-of-pocket for a repair ($50–$150) instead of a replacement.

We file insurance claims for you and handle all coordination with the insurer. In most cases, you do not have any out-of-pocket cost if you have glass coverage, or you pay only the deductible.

Mobile Windshield Service in Greensboro

We offer mobile windshield service—our technician comes to your home or workplace with all equipment and materials, and replaces your windshield while you wait. This is convenient if you work long hours or prefer not to take your car to a shop. Mobile service is available same-day in most cases, and we work with your insurance company to minimize your out-of-pocket cost.

After replacement, the urethane sealant takes 24 hours to fully cure. Do not drive through car washes or run water along the windshield edge for at least 24 hours; a light drive is fine. The glass is held mechanically by the frame bolts and is safe to drive immediately, but the full structural bond takes a full day.

Schedule mobile service online or by phone, and we will confirm a time that works for you. Most appointments take 1–2 hours from start to finish.
