We've built this business on word-of-mouth across McLeod County. Here's some of it.
"I took my car to get the windshield replaced and the guy did a great job! Very knowledgeable about auto glass and the installation process. I was in and out in no time and it was half the price from what Safelite quoted me."
"A pheasant hit our windshield on a Wed evening and he was able to find a way to get it replaced late Thursday night so I had it Friday morning. Fast! Workmanship was great as well! Thanks, Nick!"
"Recently replaced the window in our truck at their shop. As well as fixed the window in our payloader at our house so we would not have to haul it in. Quote came back better than we expected and was very reasonable. Service was great. Highly recommended!"

If yours isn't here, just call — we'll talk you through it.
Yes, in most cases. Comprehensive auto insurance covers windshield repair and replacement under Minnesota law, often with no deductible for chip repair and a low or zero deductible for full replacement. State law also lets you choose any auto glass shop — your insurer can't require you to use a specific one.
Most windshield replacements take 60 to 90 minutes from start to finish. After the install, the urethane adhesive needs about an hour of "safe drive-away time" before the vehicle should be driven. Smaller jobs like chip repairs are usually finished in 20 to 30 minutes.
Most car windshields cost $250–$450 for replacement; SUVs and trucks run $290–$530. Vehicles with ADAS sensors (lane-keep, automatic emergency braking) add $150–$400 for calibration. Chip repairs cost $0–$120 — usually free with insurance. Use our instant estimator or call (320) 455-7693 for an exact quote.
Cracks shorter than 6 inches and chips smaller than a quarter can usually be repaired in 20–30 minutes, often free through insurance. Longer cracks, damage in the driver's line of sight, or any chip reaching the edge of the glass requires full replacement. The sooner you call, the better the chance of a clean repair.
About 60 minutes. The urethane adhesive that bonds the windshield to the frame needs roughly an hour to set — driving sooner risks the windshield shifting if the airbag deploys. Avoid car washes, slamming doors, and rough roads for the first 24 hours.
Yes, but only if the crack doesn't impair the driver's view. Minnesota law (Statute 169.71) prohibits driving with damage in the wiper-swept area on the driver's side. Either way, cracks spread fast in temperature swings — get it fixed before it doubles in size.
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration realigns the cameras and sensors near your windshield after replacement. Vehicles with lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control need this so the safety features work correctly. Required for most cars built after 2017.
Yes. We offer mobile windshield repair and replacement throughout Hutchinson, MN and the surrounding McLeod County area. We come to your home, workplace, farm, or job site — anywhere we can park safely. Call (320) 455-7693 to schedule.
Every installation is backed by a workmanship warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. If anything related to our install fails — leaks, wind noise, adhesive issues — we fix it at no charge. The glass itself is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
