At Calgary Windshield Replacement, we know drivers have questions about auto glass repair and replacement. That’s why we’ve created this guide to the most common auto glass FAQs in Calgary. Whether you’re dealing with a small rock chip, a cracked windshield, or wondering about insurance coverage, you’ll find clear answers here.
Most windshield replacements take about 2 hours from start to finish, including curing time for adhesives. If your vehicle requires ADAS calibration, the process can take longer to ensure safety systems are properly aligned.
Yes—most comprehensive auto insurance policies cover rock chip repair at no cost to the driver. Windshield replacement is also typically covered, though you may need to pay a deductible. Our team can help you confirm your coverage and billing options.
Yes—if your vehicle is equipped with advanced safety features such as lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, or collision alerts. ADAS calibration ensures cameras and sensors mounted to your windshield are realigned to manufacturer standards. Skipping calibration can put your safety at risk.
Yes—we provide mobile windshield replacement for full replacements only. Mobile repairs are not offered for rock chips, since they require controlled shop conditions for proper curing. A small mobile fee applies, but many customers find the convenience worth it.
Not always. Rock chip repair is usually possible if the damage is smaller than a toonie, not directly in the driver’s line of sight, and doesn’t reach the edge of the windshield. If cracks are longer than six inches or the chip has spread, a full replacement is required.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass matches your vehicle’s factory specifications exactly. Aftermarket glass is made by third-party suppliers and may vary slightly in thickness, clarity, or features. OEM is generally recommended for vehicles with ADAS systems, while aftermarket can be a safe and cost-effective option for older vehicles.
The cost typically ranges from $200 to $600, depending on your vehicle make and model. Luxury vehicles and those requiring ADAS calibration may cost more. For small chips, in-shop repairs are usually under $100—and often covered by insurance.
Absolutely. We also replace sunroofs and moonroofs, back glass, front and rear door glass, vent and quarter glass, and side-view mirrors. If it’s auto glass, we can replace it.
Every service is backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty. This means you can have peace of mind knowing your repair or replacement is guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle.
