Broken Side or Rear Auto Glass?
Unlike windshields, side and rear windows are typically made from tempered safety glass. When damaged, this type of glass is designed to break into small, rounded pieces rather than large sharp shards, helping reduce the risk of serious injury.
Because of the way tempered glass breaks, side and rear auto glass usually cannot be repaired and instead requires replacement. Our technicians will inspect the damage, safely remove any broken glass, and install new auto glass that fits your vehicle properly.
