Expert Windshield Repair & Replacement in ASpen, CO

Can my windshield be repaired?
Often, minor damage on a windshield can be repaired using a specialized process that injects a clear, acrylic resin into the damage. The resin displaces air, and then cures and hardens in ultraviolet light to restore the original integrity and most of the original clarity at the repair site. This process takes roughly 30 minutes and can be done while you wait. As a bonus, rock chip repair is also covered 100% by most insurance companies without a deductible.

My vehicle is equipped with Forward Facing Cameras. Can you perform the re-calibration?
Yes. We have the latest calibration technology and trained, certified staff to perform re-calibration on nearly every vehicle on the road today. ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist Systems) are complex safety systems, and most manufacturers require recalibration after a windshield replacement. Calibration is included with your insurance claim and can be completed while your vehicle is here for service.

Do I need an appointment to have my windshield replaced?
Yes, windshield replacement does require an appointment. We stock many windshields locally and receive daily deliveries from Denver suppliers, so same-day service is sometimes available. Most appointments can be scheduled within 24–48 hours, and if needed, we can install a temporary covering prior to your appointment.

How long will you need my car?
On the day of your appointment, please plan to leave your car with us for about 3–4 hours. This allows time for installation and for the adhesive to cure for at least one hour before it’s safe to drive. If your vehicle is equipped with ADAS camera systems, we may need it a little longer to complete the calibration.

Will my insurance pay for the glass repair or replacement?
Yes. We’re a preferred provider for all major insurance carriers. Windshield replacement falls under the comprehensive portion of your policy (a “no fault” claim), not collision. You’ll just be responsible for your deductible, and your insurance covers the rest once the claim is set up. Some companies even offer separate glass coverage with little or no deductible — we can help you handle the entire process.

I drive a high-end luxury car, do you know how to replace this glass?
Definitely. We’ve worked on Range Rovers, Audis, Lexuses, and many other luxury vehicles for years. Our certified technicians are skilled, conscientious installers who take pride in their work. You can trust that we’ll take excellent care of your vehicle and return it to its original condition.

Do you offer mobile service to my home or office?
At this time, we don’t offer pickup, drop-off, or mobile service. All work is performed in our Aspen Business Center shop, where we can maintain the quality and precision we’re known for — especially important during Colorado’s colder months when temperature and moisture can affect the installation process.

Can you drive me back to Aspen when I drop off my car?
We don’t currently offer a pickup or drop-off service, but we can take you to the nearby RFTA bus stop on Highway 82. Buses run regularly throughout the day, and local taxi services are also available in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Is my new windshield guaranteed?
Yes. Your new windshield and installation are guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle. We guarantee it will be free from air or water leaks, stress cracks, and visual blemishes. If something isn’t right, we’ll make it right.

I’m not sure what year my car is. Where can I find that?
You can find your vehicle’s year on the sticker inside the driver’s door jamb — usually near the top-right corner — or on your registration or insurance card. If you’re unsure, just give us a call and we’ll help you figure it out.

Why do you need my vehicle’s VIN number?
Many vehicles have different factory options like heated glass, rain sensors, ADAS systems, or acoustic layers. We use your VIN to decode these options so we can order the exact parts that fit your vehicle perfectly.

What is a rain sensor?
A rain sensor is a small device attached to the windshield that detects when the glass is wet and automatically turns on your wipers. It’s usually mounted near the rear-view mirror and may look like a trapezoid, sometimes with a faint blue or red tint. If you’re unsure whether your car has one, we can help identify it.

How do I know if my windshield is heated?
Some windshields have heating elements across the glass, while others just heat the wiper area at the bottom. Look for thin orange lines or a grid pattern — those indicate heating elements. If you’re not sure, just ask us when you schedule your appointment and we’ll confirm it.

What does shading and tinting mean on a windshield?
Tinting is a light, built-in color from the manufacturer that reduces glare. Shading is a darker band along the top of the windshield — typically blue, green, gray, or bronze — to block sun rays. Not all vehicles have factory shading, but we can help you choose the right option if you’d like to add or remove it.

Why is there rust around my windshield?
Rust around a windshield often results from improper installation where the metal surface (called the pinch weld) was scratched and left untreated. Over time, moisture causes rust. This is one of the main reasons why quality installation matters — we take extra care to prevent that from happening.

What if my vehicle has rust around the edge of the glass?
If we see visible rust, that usually means it’s also present under the windshield. We’ll remove the rust and treat the metal with a special etch primer before installing your new glass. This ensures the adhesive bonds properly and prevents further rust from developing.

Can you save my parking stickers on the windshield?
Yes. Please leave your parking passes, oil change decals, or membership stickers on the glass — we’ll remove and reapply them when possible. If a sticker can’t be reapplied, we’ll return it to you so you can get a replacement.

Can you repair a scratch in my windshield?
We don’t currently offer scratch removal for glass. The process is very time-intensive and often distorts visibility, so it’s not a service we recommend or provide.

Do you repair or replace residential or commercial glass?
No — automotive glass is our specialty. We focus exclusively on vehicle glass to deliver the highest level of precision and expertise.
