Cary, NC · Mobile auto glass
Cary Auto Glass Replacement Co. brings the glass to you. We fill small chips before they spread, put in new windshields when a crack is too long, and re-aim the camera behind your mirror afterwards, all in your driveway or your office lot.
01·What we fix
Most calls start with a rock chip from the car ahead or a crack that crept across the glass overnight. These are the five jobs we do most, and each one has its own page.
01 Small rock chips and short cracks filled with clear resin, usually in under an hour, so the glass stays in the car.
See the service
02 The camera behind your mirror re-aimed after new glass goes in, so lane and braking assists see the road where it really is.

03 We bring the glass and the tools to your driveway or office lot in Cary, Morrisville or Apex while you get on with your day.

04 Shattered door glass vacuumed out of the door and the cabin, then new tempered glass set in the regulator.

05 Rear windows with defroster lines, wiper mounts and antennas, replaced and reconnected so everything works again.
See the service02·The visit
We replace the windshield where the car is parked. The van pulls up, the old glass comes out, the new glass goes in, and you get your keys back with a drive-away time.
01Fender and hood covers go on first. Then the old windshield is cut free of its adhesive and lifted out in one piece with suction cups, so broken glass stays out of the cabin.
02The frame is cleaned down to a thin, even layer of old adhesive, primed where needed, and a fresh bead of urethane goes around the opening.
03Two of us carry the new windshield over and lower it straight onto the bead, then press the molding in and tape it while the adhesive grabs.
Your technician tells you the safe drive-away time for the adhesive used on your car before leaving.
03·Clean work
04·Repair or replace
Repair keeps your factory windshield and costs far less. Once the damage is too long, too deep or sitting in the wrong spot, you need new glass. We go by the lines Allstate's guidance draws.
RepairA bullseye or star chip smaller than a coin, or a crack shorter than a dollar bill, can usually be filled. Resin goes into the break under pressure, then cures clear and hard. Most of the mark fades, and the crack stops growing.
BorderlineA small chip can run across the windshield after a pothole, a bumpy road or a hard turn, Allstate notes, and moisture in the break speeds that up. If yours is growing, a photo helps us tell you whether it can still be filled.
ReplaceReplace when the crack is longer than a dollar bill, runs more than halfway into the glass, or reaches the edge of the windshield. Damage in the driver's line of sight is also best handled with new glass.
Thresholds from Allstate, "Does a cracked windshield need to be repaired or replaced?" (updated October 2026).
05·Cameras and sensors
Many newer cars read the road through the windshield. A small camera mounted behind the rearview mirror feeds lane keeping, automatic braking and similar systems, so the glass in front of it matters.
When a new windshield goes in, the camera bracket moves with the glass. Even a very small change in angle can make the camera misjudge where the lane lines are. Calibration re-aims it. On some cars that means a checkerboard target set up in front of the bumper; on others it's a guided drive on marked roads with a scan tool connected.
AAA's 2023 study of ADAS repair costs found that replacing the ADAS parts and doing the calibration added an average of $360 to a windshield replacement. We tell you before booking whether your car needs it, and if it does, the calibration is already in the first price you hear.
OEM glass comes from the carmaker's own supplier. Aftermarket glass is made by other companies to fit the same car. AAA's cost guide notes that OEM or OEM-equivalent glass matters most on cars with cameras and sensors, because those systems need precise optical clarity. It also says good aftermarket glass is often cheaper. We quote both when both fit your car, and point out which one we'd put on a car with lane assist.

AAA lists the things that move a windshield price: the make and model, whether the car needs a camera calibration, OEM or aftermarket glass, and your insurance coverage. Heated wiper areas, rain sensors and head-up display glass all raise the part cost too. Our pricing page goes through each one.
07·Insurance
Plenty of drivers pay for new glass through their comprehensive coverage. The state insurance department spells out what that coverage includes.
The North Carolina Department of Insurance explains that comprehensive coverage, sometimes called other-than-collision coverage, pays for damage that isn't caused by a collision. It also says comprehensive will pay to repair or replace your windshield if it's cracked by gravel.
What you pay out of pocket comes down to your own policy and deductible, so look those up or call your agent before you decide. If you file a claim, we'll give you the details insurers usually ask for: the glass part, whether a camera calibration is needed, and the price.
Going over the finished job and the paperwork with the car's owner08·North Carolina rules
Two state statutes and the yearly DMV safety inspection set the rules for your glass, wipers and mirror. The short version is below, with links to the source text.
Every windshield, side window and back glass we put in is automotive safety glass made for your car. We also check the wipers and the mirror on every windshield job and tell you if a blade is worn.

Where your car sits all day shapes how we schedule a visit. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey shows how Cary residents get to work.
Of about 94,000 working Cary residents, 56.3% drive alone to work and 36.5% work from home, per the American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates). The average commute is 22.5 minutes. On a weekday, then, a lot of cars sit in Cary driveways and plenty of others sit in office lots off I-40 or US-1. We'll come to either.
Then there's spring. NC State Extension notes that tree pollen counts usually peak between late March and early April, and the yellow dust coating every car in town is pine pollen. Running dry wipers over that grit scuffs the glass, so wash it off with washer fluid first. If your blades are streaking after pollen season, we can swap them on the same visit.

Cary first, then Morrisville up toward I-40 and Research Triangle Park, and Apex down US-1. The address you give us is where we do the work.
Inside Cary we work everywhere from the older streets near downtown to the newer neighborhoods out west toward Jordan Lake. Office parks count too: if the car sits in a lot all day, we can replace the glass there while you're at your desk.
FAQ·Quick answers
Short answers to the questions we hear most. If your car has a quirk we haven't covered, call and ask.
A small chip or short crack can usually be filled with resin. Allstate's guidance is that replacement makes more sense when the crack is longer than a dollar bill, goes more than halfway through the glass, or runs to the edge of the windshield. Damage right in the driver's view is another reason to replace. Send us a photo and we'll tell you which one you're looking at.
Often, yes. The North Carolina Department of Insurance explains that comprehensive coverage pays to repair or replace a windshield cracked by gravel. What you pay depends on your own policy and deductible, so check those first. If you're filing a claim, we'll give you the glass part, the price and the calibration details your insurer will ask for.
If your car has a forward camera mounted behind the windshield for lane keeping or automatic braking, yes. The new glass moves the camera a little, and calibration re-aims it so the system sees the road where it really is. We check your car before the visit and tell you up front whether it needs one.
The adhesive that holds the glass needs time to set before the car is safe to drive. That time depends on the adhesive and the day's temperature and humidity. Your technician tells you the exact drive-away time for your car before leaving, and it's usually part of the same visit.
Yes. Nearly every job we do is in a driveway, a garage or an office parking lot in Cary, Morrisville or Apex. All we need is a spot where the car can stay parked for the visit. If rain is coming, a garage or covered space keeps the schedule.
