When your windshield is damaged, finding a replacement company may seem straightforward. But not all auto glass companies provide the same level of quality, service, or expertise.
A windshield is much more than a piece of glass. You may not know this, but your windshield is a critical safety component that contributes to your vehicle’s structural integrity and supports advanced safety systems like lane departure warning, collision avoidance, and adaptive cruise control.
Choosing the right windshield replacement company can make a significant difference in the safety, performance, and long-term reliability of your vehicle.
1. Make Sure They Offer Mobile Service
One of the first questions to ask is whether the company offers mobile windshield replacement.
Mobile service allows technicians to replace your windshield at your home, workplace, or other convenient location.
Benefits include:
No waiting rooms
No time away from work
Less disruption to your schedule
Convenient scheduling options
At Best Glass, we provide mobile windshield replacement throughout the Phoenix area.
2. Ask About ADAS Calibration
Many newer vehicles require ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration after windshield replacement.
These systems may include:
Lane departure warning
Forward collision warning
Adaptive cruise control
Automatic emergency braking
If calibration is not performed correctly, these safety systems may not function as intended.
Ask the company:
Do you perform ADAS calibration?
Is it done in-house?
Can it be completed at my location?
Best Glass provides mobile ADAS calibration, allowing windshield replacement and calibration to be completed in one convenient appointment.
3. Verify the Quality of Materials
A quality windshield replacement depends on more than just the glass itself.
The installer should use:
High-quality automotive-grade urethane
Proper primers
Manufacturer-recommended installation procedures
Cutting corners during installation can lead to:
Water leaks
Wind noise
Poor adhesion
Reduced safety performance
4. Understand Your Glass Options
Ask whether OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket glass options are available.
A reputable company should explain the differences and help you choose the best option for your vehicle, safety systems, and budget.
5. Ask About Warranties
A trustworthy windshield replacement company stands behind its work.
Ask about:
Workmanship warranties
Material warranties
Leak protection
Glass quality guarantees
A warranty demonstrates confidence in the installation process.
6. Consider Their Experience
Experience matters.
A company that has served the community for decades has likely encountered virtually every type of vehicle and installation challenge.
For more than 35 years, Best Glass has served Phoenix drivers with professional auto glass replacement, repair, and calibration services.
7. Look Beyond the Initial Price
Price is important—but it shouldn’t be the only factor.
The cheapest option isn’t always the best value if it results in:
Poor installation
Additional repairs
Water leaks
Repeated service visits
Look for a company that combines fair pricing with quality workmanship and reliable service.
8. Ask About Chip Repair Protection
This is one question many customers don’t think to ask.
After investing in a new windshield, what happens if another rock chip occurs a few months later?
At Best Glass, every windshield replacement includes FREE windshield chip repair for one full year.
This benefit helps:
Prevent chips from spreading
Avoid unnecessary windshield replacements
Reduce the need for insurance claims
Help protect against potential insurance rate increases or policy issues

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a windshield replacement company is reputable?
Look for a company with a proven track record, quality workmanship, strong customer reviews, proper warranties, and experience with modern vehicle safety systems. It’s also important to choose a company that follows manufacturer installation procedures, offers ADAS calibration when required, and provides value-added benefits that help protect your investment. For example, Best Glass includes FREE windshield chip repairs for one year with every windshield replacement, helping customers prevent small chips from becoming larger, more expensive problems.
Should I choose OEM or aftermarket glass?
Both OEM and aftermarket windshields can be safe and effective. The best choice depends on your vehicle, your budget, and whether your vehicle uses advanced safety systems. A reputable auto glass company should explain your options and help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs.
Do all windshield replacement companies perform ADAS calibration?
No. Many auto glass companies replace windshields but do not perform ADAS calibration themselves. If your vehicle has safety features such as lane departure warning, forward collision warning, or adaptive cruise control, ask whether calibration can be completed during the same appointment. Best Glass offers mobile ADAS calibration, allowing windshield replacement and calibration to be completed in one convenient visit.
Can windshield replacement be done at my home or workplace?
Yes. Mobile windshield replacement allows a technician to replace your windshield at your home, office, or another convenient location. Best Glass provides both mobile windshield replacement and mobile ADAS calibration throughout the Phoenix area, making the entire process as convenient as possible.
How long does windshield replacement take?
Most windshield replacements take between one and two hours, depending on the vehicle. Additional time may be required for ADAS calibration on vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems. Many replacements and calibrations can be completed the same day, allowing you to get back on the road quickly.
Will my insurance cover windshield replacement?
Many Arizona insurance policies include glass coverage for windshield repair or replacement. However, coverage varies by policy. Before filing a claim, it’s worth considering whether the damage can be repaired instead. Best Glass’s FREE chip repair for one year helps many customers address minor damage before it spreads, potentially reducing the need for replacement and insurance claims altogether.
Can repairing a windshield chip help me avoid filing an insurance claim?
In many cases, yes. A small chip that is repaired early may never require a full windshield replacement. That’s one reason Best Glass includes FREE windshield chip repairs for one full year with every replacement. Repairing chips promptly can help customers avoid unnecessary claims, reduce out-of-pocket costs, and potentially minimize future insurance concerns.
Why does Best Glass offer free chip repair for one year?
We believe the best way to avoid costly windshield replacements is to repair chips before they spread. That’s why every windshield replacement includes FREE chip repairs for one full year. This benefit helps customers protect their windshield, avoid unnecessary replacements, reduce the need for insurance claims, and potentially lower the risk of future insurance complications.
What is the most important thing to look for when choosing a windshield replacement company?
The most important factor is whether the company prioritizes safety, quality, and long-term value. Proper installation, high-quality materials, ADAS calibration capabilities, experienced technicians, and strong warranties all play a critical role in ensuring your windshield performs as intended. It’s also worth considering benefits that continue after the installation. At Best Glass, every windshield replacement includes FREE chip repairs for one full year, helping customers protect their investment, avoid unnecessary replacements, and reduce the likelihood of future insurance claims.
