Cheap windshield replacement skips ADAS calibration AND uses fast-cure adhesive that fails in airbag deployment. Verified Autodots workshops use OEM glass, proper urethane, and recalibrate ADAS.
Pilkington, Saint-Gobain, AGC, Carlex — same suppliers as the manufacturer. Tinted, heated, acoustic where original.
Sika, Dow Betaseal, 3M PUR — full structural urethane that meets crash standards. Not the cheap silicone sealant some shops use.
If your car has lane-keep, automatic braking, or any front-camera ADAS, calibration is REQUIRED after windshield replacement. We make sure it's quoted in.
Many workshops come to you. Glass + adhesive + tools at your home or office. 2-3 hour install, 1-2 hours additional cure time.
Safe drive-away time depends on the urethane used. Typical: 1-2 hours. Some fast-cure: 30-60 minutes. Cold weather slows it. Always ask.
Most comprehensive policies cover windshield replacement, sometimes without affecting your no-claim bonus. Some have a $50-100 deductible. Check before booking.
OEM (or 'OE-equivalent' from same suppliers) is identical to factory glass. Cheap aftermarket has wavy distortion, can fit poorly, and may not work with ADAS cameras. Insist on OEM-grade.
OEM glass, structural urethane, ADAS recalibration included.
