Windshield Repair & Replacement in Oakland, CA

Wipers and chips. Blades that sat through a dry California summer usually streak, chatter, or show split rubber, and the general rule is replacement every 6 to 12 months. Get chips repaired before the rain arrives too, since moisture that works into damage cannot dry out and gradually pushes the crack wider.

Traffic density and speed. Rocks thrown up by other vehicles are the most common cause of windshield damage, and around Oakland you spend a lot of time close behind other cars at freeway speed. Most of what you get is chips, bullseyes, or star breaks, all of which are usually repairable if you act early.

Months of dry-season road film lift off all at once. Use an automotive glass cleaner rather than a household one, since ammonia harms auto glass and window tint, and spray the cloth instead of the glass. Wipe the blades down too. If they still streak after cleaning, the rubber is finished.

Yes. Auto Glass Now accepts all auto insurance and manages the claim from start to finish. Have your policy information ready, and we contact your insurer, confirm your coverage, and bill them directly. With comprehensive coverage you typically pay only your deductible, if any, though the amount can vary by provider and policy type.

If it has camera-based safety features such as lane keep assist, lane departure warning, or adaptive cruise control, yes. The camera mounts to the windshield, so new glass means the camera has to be recalibrated to factory settings or those systems will not work correctly. Calibration is priced separately in your quote and is not included with the windshield.

Of course. Drivers from Berkeley, Alameda, San Leandro, Castro Valley and Hayward, and other nearby communities use the Oakland shop. Bring the vehicle in, or check the mobile service area on this page if you would rather not drive on damaged glass. Either way, start with a free quote and inspection so you know the cost first.
