Is this what you need?
When drivers book windshield replacement.
The situations below are the most common reasons Chicago drivers reach out to us, and each one is something our technicians handle regularly, not as a rare exception.
Auto glass repair and replacement covers windshield chip repair, full windshield replacement, and door or side window glass replacement. It's essential any time your visibility or the structural integrity of your windshield is compromised.

What's included
Everything covered in the job.
Glass damage assessment
This is included at no extra charge as part of your visit, and our technicians never skip it, even on smaller jobs.
Windshield chip repair for smaller, eligible chips
We handle this step carefully so your repair stays on schedule and holds up over time.
Full windshield replacement
This is one of the details that separates a quick cosmetic fix from a lasting, professional repair.
Door and side window glass replacement
Getting this right is what makes the finished result blend seamlessly with the rest of your vehicle.
Proper sealing and calibration of windshield mounted sensors, where applicable
We document this step so you have a clear record of the work performed, which also helps with any insurance claim.
We use quality glass and proper sealing techniques, and recalibrate windshield mounted safety sensors when your vehicle requires it.
Not sure if this is the right repair?
Send a photo of the damage and we'll tell you what it needs — often without you leaving the driveway.

Getting an estimate
Free estimates — quoted from your car, not a price list.
Every job gets its own estimate
No two repairs are the same, so we don't quote from a price list. We look at the actual damage — in person or from photos — and give you a written, itemised estimate before any work starts.
- Estimates are free and carry no obligation.
- You approve the written estimate before we touch the car.
- If hidden damage shows up mid-repair, we call you before anything changes.
Insurance job? We handle it.
For covered repairs we work directly with your insurance company — the paperwork, the photos, the supplements — and bill your carrier. You pay your deductible and that's it.
Paying out of pocket instead? The same written estimate applies either way.
