Repair or Replace

Does your windshield need a repair or a replacement?

It's the first thing everyone wants to know, and it changes the price and the time. Here's the honest rule of thumb we use when a car pulls in with glass damage.

A repair, usually

Cheaper, quicker, keeps your original glass.

  • A chip smaller than a quarter, or a crack shorter than about three inches
  • Damage that sits away from the edge and out of your direct line of sight
  • Fresh damage that hasn't filled with dirt or started spreading
A replacement

The safe call once damage crosses the line.

  • A long crack, or one that reaches the edge of the windshield
  • Any damage sitting right in the driver's view
  • Chips deep enough to catch a fingernail, or a windshield that's already been repaired once

A fresh chip like this can often be repaired. Once the crack spreads this far, it's a replacement.

Not sure which one you've got? Send a photo or bring it by. We'll give you the straight answer, not the expensive one.

Auto Glass Services

The auto glass we repair and replace

Windshields are the bulk of it, but they aren't all of it. If it's glass on your car, there's a good chance we handle it at our Brooklyn shop.

Windshield ReplacementCracked or shattered windshield swapped for quality glass that seals and stays clear.
Chip & Crack RepairCaught it early? A small chip or short crack can often be repaired instead of replaced.
Side & Door GlassWindow smashed in a break-in or a fender-bender? We clear the pebbles and re-glass it.
Rear (Back) GlassBack-glass replacement, sealed up right so you are not driving around with a taped opening.
Glass in a ClaimBroke in the same accident as the body damage? We roll the glass into your collision claim.
Quality Glass OnlyGlass matched to the fit and clarity your car left the factory with, because it is a safety part.

Your windshield isn't just glass.
It's a safety part. We treat it like one.

Why the Install Matters

Auto glass is only as good as the way it goes in

Here's what a lot of drivers don't realize. The windshield does more than keep the wind off your face. It braces the roof so it can't crush flat in a rollover, and it's the backstop your passenger airbag slams into when it fires. So the bond between the glass and the frame has to be right, and the urethane that holds it has to cure before the car is safe to drive.

Cheap glass and a rushed install are how you end up with a windshield that whistles on the BQE, fogs at the edges, or worse, lets go in a crash. We'd rather do it right than fast. You'll get a real answer on when the car is genuinely safe to take, not a wave toward the door.

What a proper glass job includes

  • Quality glass matched to your vehicle's fit and clarity
  • The old adhesive cleaned back and a fresh urethane bond
  • Broken tempered glass fully cleared, not just the big pieces
  • Correct glass for cars with a camera behind the windshield
  • A straight answer on safe-to-drive cure time
How It Works

From cracked to clear

What happens from the first call to a windshield you can see through again.

1

Tell us what broke

Call, text, or send a photo with your year, make, and model. We'll tell you repair or replace and give you a real price up front.

2

We check your coverage

Glass is often covered by comprehensive insurance, so we help you see what your policy pays before you're on the hook for anything.

3

We do the glass right

Quality glass, a clean bond, and the correct glass and camera bracket for cars with driver-assist cameras. No cutting corners on a safety part.

4

You drive off clear

We tell you when the adhesive has genuinely cured and the car is safe to take. Then you're back on the road with a clear view.

Broke in the same accident as the body damage?
We fix all of it under one roof.

“Charlie, the owner was very friendly and honest. Gave me a quote on a paint job on my 2020 Honda Civic, which was honestly unbelievable (he hooked us up). The paint job was done professionally (color had to be specially made for my car), and it looks like nothing ever happened. I was so impressed with the job that I would definitely recommend anyone who needs auto body done to go to this shop. Shout out to his secretary for the great communication as well.

Common Questions

Auto glass repair in Brooklyn, NY: FAQs

The questions drivers ask about windshields and auto glass. Still not sure? Just call.

Can a chip be repaired, or do I need a full windshield replacement?
It depends on the size, the depth, and where it sits. A small chip or a short crack away from your line of sight can often be repaired, which is quicker and cheaper than a replacement. Once a crack spreads past a few inches, reaches the edge, or sits right in the driver's view, the windshield needs replacing. Bring it by and we'll tell you straight which one you're looking at.
How much does windshield replacement cost in Brooklyn?
It comes down to your vehicle and the exact glass it takes, so there's no single number. A common sedan windshield costs less than glass for a newer car loaded with sensors and cameras. We give you a real quote before any work starts, and if the damage is tied to a collision claim, the glass is often covered. No surprise charges after the fact.
Does my insurance cover windshield replacement?
Often, yes. Many policies with comprehensive coverage pay for glass, sometimes with a deductible and sometimes with none, depending on your plan and the specifics. We work with insurance every day and we'll help you check what your policy covers before you commit to anything. If it's part of a collision claim, the glass usually goes on the claim with the rest of the repair.
Do I have to use the auto glass shop my insurance recommends?
No. Under New York law the choice is yours. Your insurer might steer you toward a glass network, but they can't require it. You're free to bring your car to Exclusive, and we'll deal with your insurer directly on the paperwork.
Is it safe to drive with a cracked windshield?
A small chip is usually fine for a little while, but a crack is a different story. The windshield is part of your car's structure, it helps the roof hold its shape in a rollover and it's what your airbags push against when they deploy. A big crack weakens all of that, and a crack in your line of sight is a visibility problem on top of it. If it's spreading, don't wait it out.
Do you replace side and rear glass too, or just windshields?
Both. We handle windshields, side and door windows, and rear (back) glass. Side and rear glass is usually tempered and shatters into pebbles when it breaks, often after a break-in or a collision, so we also clean out the fragments and get the opening sealed up right, not just drop in new glass.
What kind of glass do you use?
We use quality auto glass that matches the fit and clarity of what came out of the car, so the seal holds and the view stays clear. Cheap glass can distort, whistle at highway speed, or leak at the edges. On a windshield especially, the glass is a safety part, so it's not the place to cut corners.
Can you handle the glass as part of a collision repair?
Yes, and that's often the easiest way to do it. If your windshield or a window broke in the same accident that dented the car, we roll the glass into the collision claim and fix all of it under one roof. One shop, one claim, one car back in your hands. See our collision repair and auto body repair pages for how that side works.
How long does auto glass replacement take?
The glass swap itself doesn't take long. What matters more is the adhesive, the urethane that bonds a new windshield has to cure before the car is safe to drive, and that cure time depends on the product and the weather. We'll tell you when it's genuinely safe to take the car, not just when the glass is in. Rushing that step is how a windshield pops loose later.
My newer car has cameras behind the windshield. Does that change anything?
It can. A lot of newer vehicles run driver-assist features off a camera mounted at the top of the windshield, so the replacement glass has to be the exact right type, with the correct camera bracket, and fitted precisely. Tell us the year, make, and model when you call so we bring the correct glass. Cars with a windshield camera also often need that camera recalibrated after the glass is replaced, so let us know your vehicle and we'll tell you whether yours is one of them.
What neighborhoods do you serve for auto glass in Brooklyn?
All of Brooklyn, from our shop in Cypress Hills out to East New York, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Flatbush, Canarsie, and beyond. We also take drivers from Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. If you can get the car to us, we can get the glass sorted.
How do I get a quote for auto glass repair?
