Need Your Windshield Replaced?
Not sure whether your windshield needs a quick repair or a full replacement? Our team can help you figure it out. Smaller chips can often be repaired when caught early, but once the damage gets larger or starts affecting your windshield’s safety and visibility, replacement may be the better option.
Here are a few signs it could be time for a new windshield:
- Penetrates both layers of glass
- Crosses the driver’s line of sight
- Reaches the edge of the windshield
- Creates multiple cracks or a web-like pattern
- Appears on the inside of the windshield
- Affects areas containing rain sensors, cameras, or other technology
- Has grown too large to repair safely
We’ll assess the damage, explain your options, and determine whether windshield replacement in Calgary is the safest choice for your vehicle.
Your Safety is Our Top Priority
Your windshield does much more than keep bugs, rain, and Alberta weather out of your face. It’s an important part of your vehicle’s overall safety system. A properly installed windshield contributes to the structural integrity of the vehicle cabin, helps support the roof during a rollover, and works alongside your seat belts and airbags during a collision. It also provides a backstop that can help passenger-side airbags deploy as designed.
That’s why you shouldn’t ignore significant windshield damage. If the glass has become too compromised for a safe repair, our professional windshield replacement services in Calgary help restore the protection your vehicle was designed to provide.
Insurance Claim Assistance and Our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee
A damaged windshield is already enough to deal with, so the last thing you need is to get stuck figuring out insurance paperwork on your own!
If your replacement is covered by your policy, our team at 5 Star Auto Glass can help with the claim process, answer your questions, and work with your insurance provider, where applicable, to keep things moving.
We also stand behind our windshield replacements with a lifetime workmanship guarantee for as long as you own or lease the vehicle we service.
From helping with the insurance side of things to getting your new windshield installed and ready for the road, we’ll take care of the details so you have one less thing to worry about.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Many newer vehicles use cameras and sensors mounted on or near the windshield as part of their Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). These systems may support features such as lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, and automatic emergency braking.
When the windshield is replaced, those cameras can shift from their original position. Even a small change can affect how accurately the system reads the road, which is why recalibration may be necessary.
If your vehicle requires it, our technicians at 5 Star Auto Glass are trained and equipped to perform ADAS calibration after your windshield replacement so the cameras and sensors are properly aligned and functioning as intended.
