Auto Glass Replacement FAQ
Do you have questions about the windshield replacement process? Some of the most common auto glass and windshield replacement related questions can be found below. If you can’t find an answer to your question there, please call our service center toll free at 216.351.2193.
It depends. Unlike the rest of the glass in your car, windshields are laminated and for that reason, can be repaired if the chip is small enough. Because it’s glass, however, even if repaired, it will never look new. Though a chip may be less noticeable after it is repaired, repairs are not cosmetic but designed solely to prevent a chip from spreading into a large crack. Depending on the vehicle, in some cases, a new windshield can be installed for close to the amount that some shops may charge for a repair.

Typically, a windshield or other auto glass can be installed in about 60 minutes or less. However, C-Auto Glass recommends waiting to drive the vehicle for about an hour after the replacement is complete.
We use some of the highest-grade auto glass materials in all our replacements. However, before the glass is completely secure, the urethane (or glue) must have time to dry. We recommend a 1-hour waiting period after the glass is installed before driving the vehicle.
If you’re getting your windshield replaced and need your rear view mirror reattached, just make sure to let us know when you set up your appointment. We’ll be sure the tech is equipped with everything needed to reattach the mirror once the new windshield is installed.
Yes! At C-Auto Glass, our policy is to return every customer’s vehicle in as good of shape, if not better than how we got it. If your car happens to be returned without being cleaned, please let us know.
Not necessarily… If the damage to your windshield is roughly the size of a quarter, a windshield repair may fix your problem. Repairing your windshield is a great option and can save you lots of money when compared to a replacement.
