Question 1

How much does car windshield replacement cost?

Accepted Answer

Car windshield replacement costs $200–$900+ depending on your vehicle make and model, glass type (OEM vs aftermarket), and whether ADAS calibration is required. The national average for a standard replacement is around $295. Compact sedans typically run $250–$380, while luxury vehicles and Teslas can cost $800–$1,600+.

Question 2

Does insurance cover windshield replacement?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your state and policy. Arizona and Colorado require insurers to offer zero-deductible glass coverage with every comprehensive auto policy — meaning most AZ and CO drivers pay $0 out of pocket. Other states vary: some require a standard deductible ($100–$500), while a few states have no special glass laws. Always check with your insurer before paying cash.

Question 3

What is ADAS calibration and how much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) calibration is the process of recalibrating the windshield-mounted camera after a replacement. Vehicles with lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control require this step. ADAS calibration adds $150–$350 to the total cost of replacement and is required on most 2018+ vehicles.
