What should I do today if my windshield is cracked?
Call your insurer or check your policy for glass coverage first. Some Missouri policies repair or replace auto glass with no deductible, but coverage depends on the specific plan. Call KC Windshield at (816) 667-6157 for free to reach a local pro who can quote the job.
Should I pay cash or file a claim?
If the replacement cost is lower than or close to your deductible, paying cash may make more sense than filing a claim. A standard sedan replacement without ADAS is estimated at about $264, while ADAS calibration can raise the total to about $440. Compare the quote to your deductible before you decide.
What should I check when hiring a pro?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. Ask whether the quote uses OEM or aftermarket glass. Ask whether your vehicle needs ADAS camera recalibration after installation.
Does my car need recalibration after replacement?
Vehicles with ADAS, such as lane-assist cameras, may need calibration after the glass is installed. This step can add time and raise the total cost. Confirm whether calibration is included in your quote.
What to do next
- Check your auto policy for glass coverage and whether it has a deductible.
- Compare your deductible to the replacement quote before filing a claim.
