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.

I’m very particular about what shops I take my car to but when I called McConnell Auto Glass I was put to ease once Desiree answered the phone. She took the time to explain to me the process of repairing my windshield and telling me the couple options I had. I proceeded to look into those options and everything she told me was 100% true. I scheduled an appointment and got my glass replaced. The process was seamless; the employees were very thorough, had great communication, and did awesome work. Don’t hesitate bringing your vehicle here.

Working with McConnell Auto Glass was smooth and easy. From emailing to receive a quote, calling to schedule an appointment and the actually appointment itself. Every step was effortless, their prices were great and the quote matched the final price. Dana, who provided the service, did an excellent job while also providing information on the replacement and what to look for or do if a chip or crack occurs again. Will definitely use them again and recommend to any and all who ask.

We HIGHLY recommend McConnell Auto Glass!When we were following a construction vehicle in our Toyota Highlander, we were hit by a huge rock that ruined our windshield. We needed to get it replaced fast, and were looking for the best price as we have a high deductible and this was out of pocket. McConnell Auto Glass had a very competitive price and was able to fix it the next day. They have a night key drop, making it easy to leave the car the night before.As promised, the windshield was fixed and calibrated right on time. The glass looked perfect, but the owner / tech noticed that there was some warping in the windshield from the manufacturer that was impossible to see clearly until after it was installed. I’d need to bring it back because they didn’t have another windshield in stock. Honestly, I could barely see the warping.I’ve always believed that it’s not problems or issues that define you, it’s what you do next to fix it. The owners of McConnell stepped up, owned the issue, and were an absolute pleasure to work with. They let me leave with the windshield without charging me, trusting me to come back. A few days later, he repeated the 3 hour windshield install / calibration and everything was perfect. I’ve had repairs done by Safelite and others before, but my experience at McConnell Auto glass was by far the best service and experience. I will happily do business with them again- integrity and follow is hard to find.

Highly recommend! The McConnells take care of their customers with respect and a caring nature. They are friendly and honest about the services. The waiting room had plenty of room for me to work while I was waiting and was clean! I actually enjoyed waiting and chatting with fellow customers and the staff. Hope I don’t have to go back, but if I do, I’m coming here! Thanks to my insurance agent for the great referral!
