Windshield Repair & Replacement Etobicoke

The cost of a new windshield varies depending on your vehicle’s make and model and whether you choose OEM or aftermarket glass. National averages in Canada range from $200 to $1000, with prices coming in at the higher end for vehicles with ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) due to required sensor recalibration.

At Auto Glass Pro Etobicoke, we provide free quotes upfront and beat verified competitor pricing by 10%. Many customers pay $0 out of pocket if their insurance covers the replacement.

While it’s not always illegal to drive with a cracked windshield in Ontario, it’s highly unsafe and may result in fines. Cracks can obstruct your view, compromise the windshield’s structural strength, and interfere with airbag function during a collision. This not only endangers your life but also the safety of passengers and others on the road. 

Auto Glass Pro Etobicoke strongly advises prompt service to prevent further risks. We offer same-day repairs and fast replacements to prevent small chips or cracks from spreading and creating safety risks.

It’s strongly recommended to avoid going through a car wash if your windshield has any cracks or chips. High-pressure water jets, rotating brushes, and rapid temperature changes inside automatic car washes can easily worsen the damage. A small chip can spread into a full crack under pressure, especially in colder months or with sudden shifts in temperature.

Even touchless car washes are not risk-free, as the intense spray can weaken the glass further. To protect your vehicle and avoid more expensive repairs, we suggest scheduling a quick mobile windshield chip repair in Etobicoke before getting a car wash.

Yes, most comprehensive auto insurance policies do cover windshield replacement in Canada, including Ontario. However, coverage details can vary depending on your provider, policy terms, and deductible.

If you have comprehensive coverage, your insurer may pay partially or fully for a new windshield, especially if the damage was caused by a covered event such as a stone chip, vandalism, theft, or weather-related incidents.

At Auto Glass Pro Etobicoke, we simplify this process by working directly with your insurance provider. We handle all claim paperwork and approvals, so you don’t have to spend hours on hold or fill out confusing forms. In many cases, if your policy covers it, we’ll even pay up to 100% of your deductible, which means no out-of-pocket cost for you.

Before scheduling your windshield replacement in Etobicoke, check your insurance policy or contact us for quick assistance. We’ll walk you through your coverage and help determine whether your claim qualifies under your existing insurance.

On average, a standard windshield replacement takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour to complete. However, total service time can vary depending on several factors such as the make and model of your vehicle, whether your vehicle has advanced safety features (ADAS) that require recalibration, and the weather or work environment if the job is performed outdoors.

At Auto Glass Pro Etobicoke, we aim to provide fast, efficient service without compromising safety or quality. Every installation is performed by certified technicians using OEM-quality adhesives that meet or exceed manufacturer standards.

After installation, a safe drive-away time (SDAT) is required to let the adhesive cure properly. This typically ranges from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the adhesive used and environmental conditions. We will always inform you of the exact time your vehicle is safe to drive after the replacement is complete.

If your vehicle includes ADAS features (like lane-keeping assist, emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control), an additional 30 to 60 minutes may be required for windshield recalibration to ensure these systems function accurately after the new glass is installed. Whether you visit our shop or opt for our mobile auto glass replacement service in Etobicoke, we make sure your vehicle is road-ready and fully safe.
