Mobile Windshield Repair and Windshield Replacement in Long Beach, CA
When Windshield Replacement is Necessary
There are situations where windshield repair isn't sufficient to restore the integrity of the glass. In these cases, complete windshield replacement is required to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
Cracks Exceeding 6 Inches
Cracks longer than 6 inches compromise the structural integrity of the windshield, which resin injections cannot address. In California's summer heat, cracks can expand rapidly, especially during 95-degree days, making them impossible to repair. Our windshield damage assessment helps identify when cracks exceed repairable limits and require complete windshield replacement.
Damage in Critical Vision Zones
Any damage in front of the driver’s seating area obstructs visibility, even small chips. In these critical vision zones, repairs can result in optical distortions that impact the driver’s ability to see clearly. We replace the windshield entirely to eliminate vision obstructions, ensuring clear visibility on busy streets like Long Beach Boulevard.
Edge Damage Within 3 Inches
Chips or cracks within 3 inches of the windshield's edge suffer excessive structural stress, preventing effective repair bonding. Since these edges help secure the windshield to the vehicle frame, they must remain intact to protect against rollover accidents. If damage occurs in these areas, immediate windshield replacement is recommended.
Multiple Impact Points
When there are three or more separate chips, the structural integrity of the windshield is compromised, making repair ineffective. We recommend full replacement, using Pilkington or AGC Automotive glass that meets DOT safety standards for occupant protection.
Deep Layer Penetration
Rock chips that penetrate the outer layer of glass and reach the inner lamination damage the windshield's structural bond, allowing moisture to seep in. This causes delamination and cloudiness. Our replacement process removes deeply damaged glass and installs new automotive glass, preserving lamination integrity.
Previous Repair Failures
Cracks that reappear after previous repair attempts indicate that the damage exceeded the repair capabilities. In such cases, we remove the old windshield and install a new OEM glass, covered by our lifetime workmanship warranty.
Obstructed Sensor Arrays
Modern vehicles have integrated sensor arrays, heating elements, and antenna grids in the windshield. If these components are damaged, replacement is necessary because they cannot be repaired. We ensure your windshield replacement restores all factory installed electronics to proper working order.

Remove Damaged Windshield
We use specialized tools to carefully remove the damaged windshield, protecting your vehicle’s interior and cleaning all old adhesive for proper bonding. Primer is applied to ensure optimal adhesive attachment.

Our technician sprays water around the windshield to check for leaks, ensuring a tight seal and confirming that there are no optical distortions in the glass.

The cost of windshield replacement varies based on the make and model of your vehicle, the type of glass, and any additional services you may need (e.g., recalibration of sensors). On average, prices range from $150 to $400.

Answer: If your windshield has a large crack, deep chips, or significant damage that obstructs your view while driving, it's time for a replacement. Minor chips and small cracks can often be repaired, but if the damage is in the driver's line of sight or spreads quickly, a full replacement is necessary.

The actual process of replacing a windshield typically takes about 1-2 hours. However, we recommend waiting about 1-2 hours after the replacement for the adhesive to properly cure before driving your car.
-
We recommend waiting for at least one hour after the replacement before driving to allow the adhesive to cure. Driving too soon can affect the bond and may lead to the windshield becoming loose.
