📷 Text Us a PhotoUnder SC Code § 38-77-280, insurance companies must waive your deductible for safety glass claims if you have comprehensive coverage.
Windshield replacement costs $300-$600+ for most vehicles — but four factors determine your exact price, and most drivers discover they pay $0. Vehicle size, glass features, ADAS calibration requirements, and insurance status all affect final cost. Based on our service data, 68% of our customers pay nothing out of pocket after we verify their coverage.
Almost certainly not. SC Code § 38-77-280 requires insurers to waive your deductible for safety glass claims if you have comprehensive coverage. Three conditions determine eligibility:
We verify your eligibility within 5 minutes of your first call. Most customers discover they qualify immediately — no waiting, no uncertainty.
Yes — but three specific conditions must be met, and certain policy types are excluded. SC Code § 38-77-280 covers most drivers at $0, but we've seen cases where customers expected coverage and didn't have it. That's why we verify your specific eligibility before scheduling — no surprises, no assumptions.
Under South Carolina law, insurers offering comprehensive coverage must waive your deductible for safety glass repairs and replacement. This means whether your deductible is $250, $500, or $1,000, you pay $0 for covered claims.
Three requirements for coverage:
We handle the entire claim process. You sign one authorization form — we verify coverage, file the claim, and collect payment directly from your insurer.
Almost never — but one specific claim pattern can trigger review. Glass claims are classified as comprehensive (not collision) and are typically "no-fault." Most insurers don't count them against you for rating purposes.
In our experience with thousands of claims, we've never had a customer report a rate increase specifically from a single glass claim. Multiple claims in a short period is the only pattern we've seen cause concern.
Not every chip or crack requires full replacement — but when damage reaches certain thresholds, replacement is the only safe option. The five-point assessment we use catches cases other shops miss:

From first call to driving away — here's exactly what to expect. Based on thousands of replacements, we've refined this process to minimize your time and maximize quality.
Call, text, or fill out our online form. Give us your vehicle year, make, and model, plus a description (or photo) of the damage. We verify your insurance coverage and confirm pricing within 15 minutes. Most customers discover they pay $0 at this step.
Pick a time and location that works for you. Your home driveway, office parking lot, or anywhere you can park for about 90 minutes. We offer same-day service for requests received before noon, subject to glass availability.
Our technician inspects the damage to confirm replacement is needed, then carefully removes the damaged windshield using cold-knife extraction that protects your paint and trim. Takes about 15-20 minutes.
We clean the pinchweld (the metal frame), remove any old adhesive or rust, and apply primer for a proper bond. This step is critical — shortcuts here cause leaks and seal failures down the road.
We apply Sika urethane adhesive (the same brand used by vehicle manufacturers) and set your new windshield precisely in place. The glass is OEM-equivalent — DOT-certified, correct thickness, proper curvature for your vehicle.
If your vehicle has windshield-mounted cameras for lane assist, collision warning, or adaptive cruise, we calibrate them to factory specs. 73% of 2020+ vehicles we service require this step. We have the equipment for all major systems.
We inspect every seal, clean your new glass inside and out, and explain the safe drive-away time (typically 60 minutes for full adhesive cure). Your lifetime warranty on workmanship begins immediately.

📞 (843) 810-8913We use OEM-equivalent glass as our standard — glass manufactured to the same specifications as your original windshield. It's DOT-certified, has the correct thickness and curvature, and meets all federal safety standards. We never use the thin, low-quality glass that gives aftermarket a bad name.
Some vehicles have specialty glass features we can match:
Probably, if it was made in 2018 or later — and the consequences of skipping it are more serious than most drivers realize. Based on our service data, 73% of 2020+ vehicles require calibration. We perform Toyota Safety Sense calibrations more than any other system in Charleston.
Your safety systems may not work correctly — or may work dangerously wrong. Lane keeping assist might steer you toward the wrong lane position. Emergency braking might not activate in time. We've seen dashboard warning lights persist for weeks on vehicles that skipped calibration elsewhere.
We include calibration with every replacement on equipped vehicles. Full ADAS calibration details →
The installation itself takes 45-60 minutes, but three factors affect your total appointment time: adhesive cure requirements, ADAS calibration needs, and weather conditions. After installation, we recommend waiting about 60 minutes before driving. If calibration is required, add another 30-45 minutes. Plan for 2-3 hours total for newer vehicles with safety systems.
We recommend waiting about 60 minutes — and the reason involves your airbags, not just the glass. The urethane adhesive needs time to cure before it's strong enough to support airbag deployment in a crash. Your passenger airbag deploys off the windshield — driving too soon risks the glass shifting at exactly the wrong moment. We'll tell you the exact safe drive-away time based on temperature and adhesive used.
Once the adhesive cures (about 60 minutes), rain is not a problem. However, we don't install during heavy rain for a specific reason: moisture trapped in the adhesive bond causes long-term seal failures that may not appear for months. Light rain or drizzle is usually fine if we can keep the frame dry during installation.
Lifetime warranty on workmanship — and we've never had to invoke the "fine print" to deny a claim. If you ever experience leaks, wind noise, or seal failure due to our installation, we fix it at no cost for as long as you own the vehicle. Glass manufacturer defects are covered under a separate warranty, which we help you navigate if needed.
