Windshield Replacement

We always try to save a windshield with a repair when we honestly can, because it is faster and less expensive for you. But some damage is beyond repair, and forcing a patch on it only delays the inevitable. A full replacement is the right call when:

• A crack is longer than about six inches or is spreading
• Damage sits in the driver's direct line of sight, where even a good repair can leave distortion
• A chip or crack has reached the edge of the glass, which compromises the structural bond
• There are multiple cracks or the inner layer of glass is damaged

If you are not sure which side of that line your damage falls on, bring it by or send us a photo. We will give you a straight answer.

We install both OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and quality aftermarket glass, and we will help you decide which makes sense for your vehicle and budget. OEM glass is made to the exact specification of your factory windshield, which matters most on newer vehicles with cameras and sensors mounted to the glass. Aftermarket glass meets the same federal safety standards and is often the practical choice on older vehicles or when you are paying out of pocket.

Whichever you choose, we use manufacturer-approved urethane adhesive and follow the correct safe-drive-away times, so the bond that holds your windshield in a collision is done right.

Windshields take a beating here. Sanded winter roads on Teton Pass, gravel on Forest Service roads, and long highway miles to Idaho Falls or Salt Lake all send rocks into the glass. Add the freeze-thaw swings of a Jackson Hole winter — a small chip left overnight in single-digit cold can run into a full crack across the glass by morning — and replacement becomes a fact of life for local drivers. We stock and source glass for the trucks, SUVs, and Subarus that actually live in this valley, so we can turn most jobs around quickly.

Most comprehensive auto policies cover windshield replacement, and in many cases your out-of-pocket cost is just your glass deductible — sometimes nothing at all. We work directly with all major insurance carriers, file the claim, and handle the paperwork so you are not stuck on hold. If you would rather pay out of pocket, we will give you a clear quote up front with no surprises.
