How Long Does it Take For Auto Glass Replacement?

Whether your car is fresh off the dealer lot or you've owned it for a number of years, the day may come when you need to have auto glass replacement. Most insurance policies will cover windshield replacement free of charge and without increasing your premiums because windshields contribute to the structural integrity and overall safety of your vehicle.

Windshield Replacement

A typical windshield replacement will only take a short time when the job is performed by an experienced auto glass replacement specialist. Whether you bring our car into the glass shop or have it replaced at your location, the job can usually be completed in less than an hour-- and it may take as little as 20 minutes or so.

Side Glass Replacement

Replacing a side window may seem like a more complicated process, but experienced installers can still get the job done quickly. Using specialized tools and materials, side windows can be replaced in about an hour, from removing the interior side panels to presenting you with the necessary papers. If your car has hard-to-find window glass, let the glass company know the make and model when you set up your appointment.

Glass Repair Services

Glass repair is an option for types of cracks. Glass repair involves carefully cleaning the area around the chip or crack, then filling the damaged area with a specially formulated bonding agent that dries to form a complete seal. Keep in mind that glass repair may be slightly visible after it has been repaired, and replacement is the generally recommended solution. 

Glass Tinting Services

In addition to replacing broken auto glass, your glass technicians can also apply window tint if you wish. Since the amount of tinting allowed by law varies from one state to another, using a local glass service guarantees conforming to regulations. Because reducing glare can make driving safer, window tinting won't increase your premiums.

Before You Drive Wait Times

Once your auto glass has been replaced, it is a good idea to allow the adhesives to dry before driving the vehicle. In most cases, auto glass adhesives will be fully dried in less than an hour, and some types may be ready to use in as little as 20 minutes. In the end, most windshield replacements are ready for the open road in about an hour, including the wait time while adhesives are curing.


Since auto glass replacement can be done at your home or even while you are at work, you won't have to worry about missing important visitors, appointments, or deadlines. You don't even have to set aside time during the replacement process-- simply sign the work release when the job is done.
