The cost of windshield replacement in Long Beach, CA depends on factors like the type of auto glass, whether you need OEM or aftermarket glass, and if ADAS calibration is required. Prices typically range from $200 to $600, but factors like acoustic windshields, heated glass, and rain sensing technology can increase the cost. A rear windshield or side car window replacement might also differ in pricing due to glass fitting and windshield molding requirements.

A small chip, rock chip, or minor star break can often be repaired with a resin injection. However, if your windshield has a deep scratch, bullseye crack, or extensive break, it requires a full replacement. Damage that spreads to the edges of the windshield can weaken your vehicle's structural integrity and affect airbag deployment. If the rear windshield or car window has shattered glass, it should also be replaced. Long Beach Express Auto Glass follows FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) to ensure compliance and road safety.

A standard windshield replacement takes about 60 to 90 minutes, but factors like ADAS recalibration and specialty windshields may add extra time. The technician first removes the damaged auto glass, cleans the windshield frame, and applies a urethane based adhesive before installing the new laminated glass. The curing time is usually one hour, but Long Beach Express Auto Glass recommends waiting 24 hours before driving to ensure proper sealant bonding. For vehicles with a sunroof, acoustic windshield, or wipers connected to rain sensors, we take extra precautions to ensure everything functions properly.
