Windshield Replacement FAQ

Question 1

Does insurance cover windshield replacement in California?

Accepted Answer

If you have comprehensive auto insurance, windshield replacement is typically covered, often with no out-of-pocket cost. California prohibits insurers from increasing premiums for a single glass claim. We work directly with most major insurance carriers and handle the claim process for you.

Question 2

Can a rock chip be repaired, or does the whole windshield need replacing?

Accepted Answer

Chips smaller than a quarter and cracks shorter than 6 inches are usually repairable. Larger cracks, chips in the driver's direct line of sight, or damage near the windshield edge typically require full replacement. Our techs will inspect and give you an honest recommendation.

Question 3

What is ADAS windshield calibration and do I need it?

Accepted Answer

ADAS systems — including lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control — use cameras mounted to or behind the windshield. When a windshield is replaced, these systems must be recalibrated. Top Auto Glass includes ADAS recalibration as part of every windshield replacement.
