Professional Windshield Replacement at Your Home or Work
Your windshield is more than a window. It helps support the roof in a rollover, gives the passenger airbag something to push against, and keeps road debris out of the cabin. When a cracked windshield is too damaged to repair, Cano's Auto Glass provides mobile windshield replacement across Colton, the Inland Empire, Orange County, and LA County.
Our technicians have more than 20 years of experience on everything from daily commuters and work trucks to Porsche 911s, Corvettes, limousines, and semi trucks. We bring the glass, tools, and adhesives to you, so you don't lose half a day sitting in a waiting room.
Signs You Need a Windshield Replacement Instead of a Repair
Small chips can often be fixed with a quick rock chip repair. Replacement is usually the safer choice when:
- A crack is longer than a few inches or keeps growing.
- The damage sits directly in the driver's line of sight.
- A chip or crack reaches the edge of the glass, which weakens the whole windshield.
- There are several chips, or a star break with long legs.
- The glass is shattered, heavily pitted, or separating at the edges.
- Your camera-based safety features started acting up after the damage.
Not sure which one you need? Text us a photo at (714) 718-4692 and we'll give you an honest answer, even if that means a repair instead of a new windshield.
Our Windshield Replacement Process, Step by Step
- Confirm the right glass. We match your windshield by VIN and features such as rain sensors, heated wiper areas, heads-up display, and camera brackets, so it fits and works like the original.
- Protect your vehicle. We cover the hood, dash, and seats before any glass comes out.
- Remove the old windshield. The old urethane is trimmed down, and the frame is cleaned and primed so the new seal bonds properly and rust is kept away.
- Set the new glass. We install OEM-quality glass with industry-best urethane adhesives, then check the fit, moldings, and cowl.
- Recalibrate cameras when required. Vehicles with lane departure warning or automatic emergency braking need ADAS calibration after a new windshield, and we make sure it gets done.
- Clean up and explain aftercare. We vacuum loose glass, clean the new windshield, and go over what to expect.
When can I drive after windshield replacement?
Drive-away time depends on the urethane and the weather. It is typically about an hour, and your technician will tell you the safe drive-away time before leaving.
Simple aftercare
- Leave any retention tape on for as long as your technician recommends.
- Skip the car wash for a day or two.
- Close doors gently the first day so air pressure doesn't stress the fresh seal.
Windshield Replacement Cost and Insurance
The cost of a new windshield depends on your vehicle's year, make, and model, plus features like forward cameras, sensors, heated glass, or acoustic glass. When calibration is required, it is part of doing the job right, not an optional extra. We give you a clear quote before any work starts. Request a quote online or call us.
If you carry comprehensive coverage, glass damage is usually covered, and deductibles vary by policy. We help you with the claim and can work with your insurance company. California law generally lets you choose your repair shop. Learn more on our insurance claims page or in our guide to windshield replacement cost in California.
