Windshield damage is common, and unfortunately, it can happen at the most inconvenient times. Whether a rock has chipped your windshield or a crack has started to spread, you need to act fast. But replacing your windshield doesn’t have to be expensive. At Saferide Auto Glass, we specialize in cheap windshield replacement services that prioritize quality and safety.
Why You Shouldn’t Postpone a Windshield Replacement
It’s tempting to delay replacing a damaged windshield, especially if the damage seems minor. However, driving with a cracked or chipped windshield can lead to significant safety risks:
Weakened Structural Support: In the event of a collision, your windshield provides up to 45% of the vehicle’s structural integrity. A damaged windshield may not be able to hold up, putting you at risk in an accident.
Impaired Vision: Even small cracks or chips can distort your view, especially in bright sunlight or rainy conditions. This can increase your chances of being involved in an accident.
Worsening Damage: What starts as a small chip or crack can quickly worsen due to temperature changes or driving over rough roads. A small repairable chip can turn into a large crack that requires a full replacement.
At Saferide Auto Glass, we recommend addressing any windshield damage as soon as possible to avoid further issues and keep you safe on the road.

Initial Assessment: Contact us with details about your vehicle and the damage to your windshield. We’ll provide a detailed quote based on your needs and schedule a convenient time for the replacement.
Mobile Replacement: Our mobile technicians come to your location with all the necessary tools and materials to replace your windshield on-site.

The entire process typically takes about an hour, though we recommend allowing extra time for the adhesive to cure fully before driving.
Choosing Between OEM and Aftermarket Glass
One of the key decisions you’ll need to make when replacing your windshield is whether to choose OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or aftermarket glass. At Saferide Auto Glass, we offer both options to meet your budget and preferences:
OEM Glass: This glass is made by the same manufacturer that produced your original windshield. It’s an exact match for the specifications of your vehicle and is often preferred for newer or high-end vehicles. While OEM glass tends to be more expensive, it offers a perfect fit and may be required for vehicles with advanced safety features.
Aftermarket Glass: Aftermarket glass is produced by third-party manufacturers and is generally more affordable. It meets all safety standards and provides excellent protection, but may have slight differences in thickness or curvature compared to OEM glass.
Both options offer strong protection, and our technicians will help you choose the one that’s best for your vehicle and budget.
ADAS Calibration After Windshield Replacement
If your vehicle is equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), such as lane departure warnings or collision avoidance systems, it’s essential to have these systems recalibrated after a windshield replacement. These systems rely on cameras and sensors mounted on or near the windshield, and any misalignment can affect their performance.
At Saferide Auto Glass, we offer ADAS calibration as part of our windshield replacement service. Our technicians are trained to recalibrate your vehicle’s safety systems, ensuring that everything functions properly after the replacement.
