Windshield replacement should be done as soon as possible after a damaging event.

It can be frustrating to find yourself with a damaged windshield on your vehicle, but the good news is that your windshield protected you from an object hitting you instead. Here at McConnell Auto Glass, we recommend windshield replacement more often than not and ensure that it is done as promptly as possible.

Windshield Replacement in Raleigh, North Carolina

A small rock chip or crack can usually be repaired, but we recommend that chips are best filled when the point of impact is recent, small, and has had no dirt, debris or water compromise the chip after the fact. For this reason, it is best not to drive the car and call us for our mobile auto glass repair services instead.

All of our technicians are insured, licensed, and certified through Auto Glass Academy, an Auto Glass Safety Council accredited training course, so you can be confident that your windshield replacement will be done correctly. We back that with a lifetime warranty on our services and materials. Your safety is our most important priority, and that’s why we only use the highest quality materials and equipment.

They're just great.

 
Testimonial

“I've had two windshields replaced by the McConnell Auto Glass team this year. Both times they were quick to respond with a quote, had a great price, and scheduled me within a business day or two. They're just great. Hopefully no more new glass for me, but I'm not calling anyone else if I do.”

Why it is Important to Get Windshield Replacement Done Promptly

At McConnell Auto Glass, we don’t believe in creating panic for our customers in the Raleigh, North Carolina area who have a damaged windshield. We do, however, recommend taking care of windshield replacement in a prompt manner. A common misconception is that you cannot drive your vehicle with a damaged windshield or it could shatter or cave in on you from the wind velocity. That is completely untrue as today’s windshields are designed to stay intact.

What you do need to be concerned about, however, is that although it won’t cave in on you, it is in a weakened state. That means that should you have a rollover vehicle accident, it won’t provide as much structural support as it might have otherwise. How much structural support your windshield provides depends on the make and model of the vehicle. Of course, the chance of this type of accident is slim, but to be on the safe side, it is better to handle windshield replacement as soon as you can.

On a more plausible side of the equation, a good reason to take care of windshield replacement is visibility. If the damage to your windshield is impairing your view either directly or by making sunlight more glaring through refraction, it is better to get the windshield replacement done as soon as possible. If it is exceptionally challenging to see, you should consider our mobile windshield replacement service rather than trying to drive the vehicle. If your windshield is only slightly damaged, it may be able to be repaired instead, and we will advise you accordingly.

FAQs About Windshield Replacement

It is normal to have questions when you realize your vehicle needs windshield replacement. At McConnell Auto Glass, we always welcome questions from our Raleigh, North Carolina customers because we want you to be fully informed about the process, expected results, and other aspects of windshield replacement. Here are a few common questions to get you started:

What laws are there in North Carolina about cracked windshields?

North Carolina laws prohibit driving a vehicle if the driver’s view is impaired or obstructed. Federal law goes a bit further in that cracks less than 3/4-inch are acceptable provided they are at least 3 inches from another crack and not within the critical vision area. Another law that can give you peace of mind is that we must replace your windshield with the same quality as the original. A common misconception is that NC law requires insurance companies to waive the deductible for windshields. That is not the case. Actually, NC law makes it illegal for us to waive the deductible.

What factors influence the cost for windshield replacement?

Pricing depends on the make and model of your vehicle, as well as the year. What you’ll pay depends on your insurance coverage. While we are a preferred vendor for insurance companies, we will also handle your windshield replacement if you do not have coverage and need to pay for it yourself.

Will my insurance claim for windshield replacement increase my premium?

By state law, insurance companies cannot raise your premium for making claims, but if you make excessive claims, they can raise your deductible. This varies from state to state and by a pre-determined underwriting policy that is based off age, length of driving history, and record.

Had them replace the windshield on my 2019 GTI and I couldn't be any happier with the result. They got the OEM glass I requested, an appointment in two days, and the work completed in an hour. Joe (hope I remembered that right!) was a pleasure to deal with.

Great shop. Talked to a half dozen repair places before settling in this place. Their customer service was responsive and very helpful. They helped me source OEM glass if I wanted. The work was also excellent. They clearly respect your vehicle because I didn't find a single smudge or fingerprint on the glass, which I was very impressed with. I wouldn't have cared if I did, but was noteworthy. ADAS recalibration went very smooth. All features worked perfectly after taking the car on the road.

A small crack spread across my entire windshield eventually. McConnell replaced my windshield while I worked out of the lobby with Wi-Fi. I made an appointment and the moment I came in, they worked on my car immediately.I shopped around different auto glass shops and McConnell was the cheapest in the area and I was able to secure an appointment rather quickly.

I showed up to an appointment to have my windshield repaired about 30 minutes earlier than I was scheduled to be there. Even though the shop was busy and full, I sat down for maybe 10 minutes total before the repair was completed.Chad fixed my window and now I don't have to worry about a costly replacement due to spreading cracks.The staff are friendly and I will definitely be coming back here for future repairs/replacements. Thanks McConnell's and a huge shout out to Chad. I appreciate you.

If you're in need for auto glass repair or replacement and don't want to have to drop your car off at the shop, go with McConnell! After walking out of my house one Saturday to find my windshield with a long crack down the middle, I immediately started reaching out to different auto-glass repair shops. When I emailed McConnell Auto Glass for a quote, they responded the very next day even though they're closed on the weekend. I officially scheduled the appointment the following Tuesday and they had someone come to my house the very next morning to replace it! Chad was very swift and efficient and finished replacing my windshield in less than an hour, let us know about their warranty deal, and overall was incredibly professional. Highly recommend!!

Oh my... how much do I love them? For being helpful on the phone, working with my insurance company and calling while I was on the way there to let me know how to find their building, customer service unparalleled. (This was after another company left me high and dry earlier in the week). As for the installation, when Dana was finished I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between my old windshield and the new one were it not for the fact I could now see out of it! While I hope to never have to use them again, their card is in my file should the need ever arise again.

Driving on I-40 near Raleigh when someone ran over a large piece of wood in front of me. It popped up and smashed a good portion of my windshield. I called around to several auto windshield replacement businesses, and went with McConnell Auto Glass based upon availability (how quickly they could do it) and reviews. They replaced the windshield for me quickly, at a good price, and with excellent quality. I would highly recommend them, and Dana in particular.

I had 3 bad experiences. Two at two different safelite locations and one at the “AutoGlassNow” location in Raleigh. McConnell’s was my fourth time trying to get my broken window replaced. I spoke with who i’m assuming was the owner on the phone on Friday. I told him of the bad luck i've had and he said he would reach out to the manufacturer to see if he can get the window for me. He called back shortly after advising he will have the window by Monday and to come in first thing. The price he quoted me was drastically cheaper than both safelite and the dealership. When I arrived this morning (Monday) they took my car in and started working on it immediately. I was there for less than an hour and my window looks amazing! Thank you so much I will be recommending you to anyone who asks and I will be sure to contact you first in the future.

After having a terrible experience with Satellite where my replacement windshield lasted less than two weeks and they refused to honor their warranty (avoid them at all cost, for your own sake), these fine folks were able to fit us in for a windshield replacement in a pinch right before the holidays and a long road trip. The glass not only withstood that trip but thousands of more miles since, and I have no worries it’ll stay free of problems for a long time to come. Not to mention the friendliness and overall high attention to detail we experienced during the service was the best of any car related business I’ve used in years. You won’t regret choosing them!
