Auto Glass Specialists – Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer mobile service all across San Diego County. Whether you're parked at home, at work, or somewhere in between, we can come to you. No need to drive around with cracked auto glass and risk your safety or getting fined.

If the damage to your windshield is small—like a chip smaller than a quarter or a crack shorter than 3 inches—then a windshield repair usually does the trick.

But if the crack spreads, blocks your view, or affects the edges, it’s time for a full windshield replacement to keep you safe on the road.

We sure do. AGS works with most major insurance providers and can often help simplify the claims process. If you’re not sure if you’re covered, we’ll help you find out fast and claim your coverage.

It depends on the type of service. Windshield repairs typically take between 45 minutes and 1 hour. Replacements usually run 1.5 to 2.5 hours—or up to 5 hours if recalibration is needed. Meanwhile, side windows typically take 1 to 2.5 hours. Don’t worry, we'll provide you with a clear time estimate before we begin, so you can plan ahead.

We only use OEM-grade glass— so your replacement matches the quality and safety standards your car came with from the factory.

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) includes features like lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning—many of which rely on sensors and cameras mounted to your windshield.

That’s why we only use OEM-grade glass and follow precise recalibration procedures—so your safety features work exactly as intended after a replacement.

Absolutely. We offer a lifetime workmanship warranty on our windshield repair and windshield installations. If anything isn’t right, just call us — we’ll make it right.

In many cases, yes — especially if we have your glass in stock. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can get you rolling safely again.

Yes! Whether it’s a repair or a full replacement, you’re good to go right after we’re done. We use high-end, fast-curing adhesive, so there’s no downtime—just skip high-pressure car washes for 24–48 hours if you had a replacement.

Only if we’re working indoors or under cover. Auto glass work needs a dry, spacious, and well-lit environment to be done right. If that’s not currently available, we’ll help you reschedule or find a better spot.

We’ve been doing this for 30 years and it shows.

• Certified techs who know auto glass inside and out
• OEM-quality parts, fast installs, zero shortcuts

We’re called Auto Glass Specialists for a reason. We’ve earned that name — and we live up to it every day.
