5 Ways to Lower Your Windshield Replacement Cost

1

Use your insurance

Chip repair is almost always $0 in Colorado. Full replacement is often covered with just your deductible -- or nothing at all with glass coverage.

2

Ask your insurer about zero-deductible glass coverage

Colorado statute CRS 10-4-613 allows insurers to offer full glass coverage with no deductible. Many policies include it. Call your agent and ask.

3

Don't wait -- fix chips before they spread

A chip repair costs $0-$75. Once it cracks across the windshield, you're looking at $250-$800 for a full replacement. Fix it early.

4

Choose mobile service

Mobile windshield replacement has lower overhead than brick-and-mortar shops. Many providers charge the same or less -- and come to you.

5

Get multiple quotes (but verify what's included)

The cheapest quote isn't always the best deal. Make sure every quote includes ADAS calibration if your vehicle needs it (most 2018+ do).

Cheap vs. Quality: What to Watch Out For

Everyone wants a good deal. But in windshield replacement, "too cheap" can mean dangerous. Here's how to tell the difference between a great value and a risky shortcut.

Red Flags

  • Price below $200 for any modern vehicle
  • No mention of ADAS calibration for 2018+ cars
  • No warranty offered on the glass or labor
  • No insurance direct billing available
  • "Cash only" with no paper trail
  • Won't provide business license info

Signs of Quality

  • Uses OEM or OEE-certified glass
  • Lifetime warranty on glass and labor
  • ADAS calibration included in the quote
  • Works directly with your insurance
  • Licensed, insured, and bonded
  • Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

A quote of $149 for a windshield replacement should raise immediate concerns. At that price, the shop is almost certainly using low-grade aftermarket glass, skipping ADAS calibration, or cutting corners on installation. The "savings" can cost you thousands if the windshield fails in an accident or your safety systems malfunction.

Why "Cheapest" Often Means "Insurance-Covered"

The smartest way to get cheap windshield replacement is to use your insurance properly. Here's what most people don't realize:

Colorado protects your glass coverage

State law (CRS 10-4-613) gives Colorado drivers strong windshield coverage rights. Your insurer must offer comprehensive glass options.

Glass claims don't raise your rates

Filing a windshield claim is not an at-fault accident. Colorado law prevents insurers from raising your rates for glass-only claims.

Insurance paperwork is handled for you

Quality shops handle all insurance billing directly. You don't deal with paperwork, and you don't pay out of pocket (or just your deductible).

You choose the shop, not the insurer

Colorado law gives you the right to choose any auto glass shop. Don't let your insurance company steer you to their preferred vendor.
