Well, folks – winter is officially here, and it has the tendency to wreak havoc on our windshields. In Flagstaff, instead of road salt, we use hot cinders to help make our roads safe. (Being the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world, road salt impacts the PH of the soil and harms pine trees). These cinders can fly up and crack your windshield while you’re driving down the highway.
If you notice a chip or crack in your windshield, it’s important that you call us and schedule an appointment. Depending on the size of the chip or crack, we might be able to fix it without having to replace the entire windshield.
If that chip or crack is left unattended and water gets in and freezes overnight, it can create a much larger crack causing issues with visibility and could even lead to getting pulled over and given a ticket!
If you notice a crack and it’s spreading, we’ll walk you through every step of the process!

Common Questions About Windshield Replacement
Here are some common questions we get when it comes to replacing windshields:
Will my insurance rates go up if I make a claim?
A “glass only” claim on your insurance is not treated as an accident claim so your insurance rates will not go up.
Will insurance cover my auto glass tint?
Typically, your auto glass tint will be covered. We will notify your insurance company about replacing your “Cool Blue” film in addition to your windshield. In most cases, insurance companies will pay a portion of the cost to replace your windshield tint.
Do you handle billing insurance?
We handle all the billing paperwork for your auto glass repair or replacement! We try to make this process as easy as possible for you!
Does it matter if the damage is due to nature (rock, hail, etc) vs damage from a baseball or someone hitting it?
It’s dependent on the situation. But if someone else damages your car, their insurance will cover the replacement.

Cost of Windshield Repair Without Glass Coverage in Flagstaff
Fully replacing your windshield without insurance depends on a couple of factors:
- Type of glass used (OEM vs. aftermarket)
- Complexity of the installation process
- Vehicle make, model, and year
- Additional features like sensors, heating elements, and tints
- Quality of materials and workmanship
You can expect to pay anywhere from $200-$2,500, depending on the specific glass that you’re looking for. We always recommend going through your insurance for auto glass replacement claims.
