Leading Car Glass Repair & Replacement Service Provider

Replacement with the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass costs between 1,200 AED and 4,500 AED and can also go above that. As for replacements done using an aftermarket or standard glass, the cost is typically 300 AED to 1,500 AED. Please keep in mind that these are average cost estimates and do not include the expenses of ADAS camera recalibration, solar-reflective coatings, or headed displays.

This service takes 2 to 4 hours on the whole. The actual installation part (removal of the old glass, frame prep, and new windshield installation) takes only 45 minutes or 60 minutes maximally. An additional one or two hours are required by the adhesive to cure fully. Again, factors like ADAS Calibration or unfavorable/ cold weather can prolong the procedure.

You cannot and must not drive right away after getting your windscreen replaced. That’s because urethane adhesives that hold the new glass require at least 30 minutes or an hour for developing a minimally safe bonding strength. For complete curing and hardening, waiting 24-48 hours is mandatory.

A windshield can technically last a lifetime if your vehicle does not get exposed to any major impacts, accidents, or damages. But on average (in usual conditions), it lasts for nearly 5 to 10 years. Factors like excessive roadside debris, extreme weather, drastic changes in temperatures, and highway driving on a frequent basis can affect the lifespan of the windshield.

Yes, these windows require special handling while the windscreen is being replaced due to different glass types and integrated electronics and connections like defroster grids. Windscreens have laminated glass which does not break or collapse under impacts but side and rear windows have tempered glass which shatters right away. Fixing this glass necessitates door panel removal so that the glass fragments can be vacuumed out.

The cost of the repair service varies with the type of damage. Repairing minor chips costs around 100 AED to 250 AED, while fixing longer cracks can cost one up to 300 AED or 700 AED. Any chips larger than a 1-dirham coin or in the driver’s direct line of sight will necessitate a replacement.

Minor chip or crack repairs take around 30 to 45 minutes, excluding the ADAS recalibration time, which is another 30 minutes or an hour. If the condition of your windscreen asks for a replacement, then you will have to wait several hours before driving safely.

You must not wash your car for at least 48 hours after a glass repair job and this does include refraining from heavy soaking, in addition to the use of pressure or automatic car washers. After 24-48 hours, you may consider a gentle hand wash.

This entirely depends on the depth of the scratch. Light scratches, those that allow your fingernail to glide smoothly over them without catching, can be repaired with polishing. But if the scratch is deeper than that; causes your fingernail to get caught in the groove, then a replacement is mandatory.

While it is possible to get windshield replacement and window tinting jobs on the same day, our technicians advise against this approach because the urethane adhesive needs at least 48 hours for full curing and any window tinting attempts during this time can put pressure on the freshly installed, most probably uncured windshield and cause its seal to become compromised.
