Auto Glass, Windshield Replacement & Repair in Dallas, TX
Glass Genie is a Dallas auto glass company for windshield repair, windshield replacement, auto glass repair, car window replacement and back glass replacement. We come to your home or work anywhere in Dallas and across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex.
Whatever broke — a rock chip, a cracked windshield, a smashed side window or a shattered rear window — one call gets it sorted. Pick the closest match.
Cracked, shattered or damaged past the point of repair, we replace the windshield at your home or office the same way a good shop does, with the right glass and a properly cured urethane bond.
Most windshield replacement in Dallas starts with a small rock chip. Gravel trucks and construction traffic on I-35E, I-635, I-30 and the Dallas North Tollway throw a steady stream of stone, and a chip that would sit quietly for months somewhere cooler does not survive a Texas summer. A windshield that has baked in a parking lot all afternoon, then gets blasted with cold air conditioning, goes through a sharp temperature swing, and that is exactly when a chip sends a crack across the glass. By the time it reaches the edge or runs in front of the driver, replacement is the only safe answer.
We also replace windshields after hail, after something has come through the glass, after a break-in, and where an old windshield has been pitted and scoured by years of highway driving until night-time glare makes it hard to see.
Cracked, shattered and edge-damaged windshields
A windshield is laminated: two layers of glass with a plastic layer between them. That is why a cracked windshield stays in one piece instead of falling in on you, and why a small break in the outer layer can often be repaired. Once a crack runs longer than about six inches, reaches the edge of the glass, or goes through both layers, the glass has lost the strength it is there to provide. Edge cracks deserve special mention: the edge is where the glass is under the most stress, so an edge crack keeps running.
When the damage is in the driver’s line of sight
Even a well-done repair leaves a faint mark and slight distortion. Right in front of the driver, that is enough to catch the eye at night or in low sun, so we usually advise replacing the windshield rather than repairing damage directly in your view.
Choosing the right windshield glass
Windshields vary by trim, not just by model. Rain and light sensors, heated wiper areas, an acoustic layer for a quieter cabin, a heads-up display, a camera bracket and a tinted shade band all change the part. We confirm the right glass from your year, make and model and a quick photo from inside behind the mirror before we order it, so the glass that arrives is the glass your car takes. We can talk you through OEM glass, which carries the carmaker’s logo, and OE-equivalent glass, built to the same specification without it.
How we install a windshield
We protect the hood, dash and seats, take off the wipers, cowl and moldings, and cut out the old glass. The pinchweld — the painted flange the windshield bonds to — is trimmed back to a thin, even layer of old urethane, and any bare metal is primed, because urethane on unprotected steel is where rust and leaks begin. The new glass is primed, a continuous urethane bead is laid, and the windshield is set to even gaps and pressed into full contact. Then the trim goes back on, the glass is cleaned and the seal is checked.
Adhesive, bonding and safe drive-away time
The windshield helps hold the roof up in a rollover and is the surface the passenger airbag pushes against, so the bond matters as much as the glass. The car stays parked until the urethane reaches safe drive-away strength. That time depends on the adhesive, the temperature and the humidity on the day, so we give you the figure for the adhesive used on your car rather than a one-size number.
What windshield replacement costs in Dallas
An average windshield replacement is around $350. Glass with more built-in features can run up to about $600. What moves the price is the glass your vehicle takes, any single-use moldings that must be renewed, and anything we find under the old glass, such as rust, which we show you before going further. Our guide to windshield replacement cost in Dallas covers each factor in detail.
Mobile windshield replacement
Mobile windshield replacement means the work happens where the car already is. We need a level parking space with room to open the doors and work around the front of the vehicle, and covered parking if rain is forecast. You spend the cure time at your desk or in your kitchen rather than in a waiting room.
Cameras behind the windshield
Many newer vehicles have a camera mounted behind the windshield for lane-keeping, automatic emergency braking or adaptive cruise. After a new windshield is fitted, the manufacturer may require that camera to be recalibrated before those systems can be relied on. We tell you at quote time if your vehicle is likely to need it. Recalibration is carried out by your dealer or a calibration specialist, not by Glass Genie.
How to request a windshield replacement quote
Call (469) 200-4801 or send the quote form with your year, make and model, a photo of the damage, and a photo from inside behind the rear-view mirror. That is enough for us to confirm the glass and give you a price.
Windshield repair
Windshield Repair in Dallas, TX
Windshield repair in Dallas is a short, inexpensive job when a rock chip is caught early — about $100, commonly under an hour, and you drive away straight after.
Usually repairable
Bullseye
A round, cone-shaped break from a direct hit. Usually fills cleanly.
Usually repairable
Star break
A small impact point with short legs running out from it. Repairable while the legs stay short.
Often repairable
Combination break
A bullseye and star together. Repairable when small and fresh.
Often repairable
Short crack
A single line under about six inches, away from the edge. Often repairable if caught early.
Usually replaced
Edge crack
A crack that starts at or reaches the edge of the glass. These run, so replacement is the usual answer.
Usually replaced
Long or spreading crack
Longer than a dollar bill, or still growing. Resin cannot hold it.
Rock chip repair with resin
Windshield repair fills the break with resin. A bridge and injector are sealed over the chip, a vacuum draws out the air and moisture trapped inside, and resin is pushed into the break under pressure until it fills every leg. The resin is cured with ultraviolet light, the surface is leveled and polished, and a wiper passes over it cleanly. Done well, it restores most of the strength and clarity and stops the chip from spreading.
What can be repaired, and the limits
Bullseyes, star breaks, combination breaks and short cracks are the usual candidates, provided the damage is small, away from the edge and out of the driver’s direct view, and only the outer layer is broken. A repair does not make the damage disappear: a faint mark usually remains, and how visible it is depends on the type of break and how much dirt got in first. No single measurement decides every case, which is why a close photo with a coin for scale is the quickest way to an answer.
Why early repair matters in Dallas
A chip is an open break that collects road dirt, wax and water from the moment it forms, and dirty breaks repair cloudier. Heat makes it worse: Dallas summers turn stable chips into running cracks, and a repairable chip becomes a replacement. Put clear tape over a fresh chip, avoid aiming the defroster or the air conditioning straight at the glass, and get it looked at within days.
Don’t replace a windshield you can repair
When a repair is safe, it is the better result: it costs a fraction of a replacement, it keeps the factory seal that has never leaked, and it keeps a windshield out of the landfill. We tell you when a repair will do, even though replacement is the bigger job. For the full picture, see windshield chip and crack repair or our page on windshield repair in Dallas by neighborhood.

Auto glass repair
Auto Glass Repair in Dallas, TX
Broken side windows, cracked door glass, damaged rear windows and smashed quarter glass — we clear the mess and make the car secure again.
Take photos for your insurer and, after a break-in, for the police report. Remove anything valuable. If rain is coming, cover the opening with plastic sheeting and tape on the painted surfaces, not the glass edge. Try not to brush the granules deeper into the seat seams — we vacuum them out properly. Then call us: a car with an open window is not secure, and that makes it urgent.
How broken glass is handled
Side windows, door glass and most rear windows are tempered glass. When tempered glass fails it turns into thousands of small, blunt granules that fall into the door cavity, the seat rails, the carpet and the drain channels. Clearing them is most of the work. Glass left inside the door is what causes a rattle over every bump and damages the window mechanism months later, so we take our time over it.
Repair or replacement for car windows
A windshield chip can be repaired because the windshield is laminated. Tempered side and rear glass cannot — once it breaks there is nothing left to repair, so “broken car window repair” in practice means a full cleanup and a new pane. A few newer vehicles use laminated side glass, which cracks instead of shattering; we tell you from your photos what yours needs.
Auto glass replacement
Car Window Replacement in Dallas
New glass for any window on your car, SUV, pickup or van, fitted and checked before we leave.
Side and door glass
The window that rolls up and down. We clear the door, fit the pane into its clips and run it through its full travel.
Quarter glass
The small fixed pane behind the rear door. Usually bonded in and specific to body style, so we confirm the exact part first.
Vent glass
The small triangular pane at the edge of a door. A favorite break-in target, and a source of wind whistle when its seal fails.
Back glass
The rear windshield, with defroster lines and often an antenna. We reconnect and test both.
Windshield
Laminated and bonded in with urethane, with a cure time before driving.
Pickup rear windows
Fixed and sliding rear windows on pickups, matched to the model and cab style.
Laminated versus tempered glass
Laminated glass is two sheets bonded to a plastic interlayer: it cracks but holds together, which is why windshields use it. Tempered glass is heat-treated to be strong and to shatter into blunt granules rather than shards, which is why most side and rear windows use it. The two are fitted differently — bonded glass needs cure time, channel-mounted glass does not — so knowing which you have tells you how long the job takes.
Fit, seals, cleanup and final inspection
A new window should sit square in its seal, move smoothly without binding, and stay quiet at highway speed. Before we finish we cycle the window, check the seals for wind and water, refit the door trim and moisture barrier, clean the glass inside and out, and vacuum the cabin. See car window replacement and auto glass replacement for the detail on each window.
Rear windshield
Back Glass Replacement in Dallas
A shattered rear windshield spreads glass across the whole cabin. We clear it, fit the new glass and make sure the defroster works.
Back glass is usually tempered, so it fails all at once — over the parcel shelf, into the trunk or cargo area, behind the rear seat and into every seam. We contain the debris first, remove the trim, disconnect the defroster tabs and any antenna leads, prepare the opening, and set the new glass in urethane or its gasket. Then we reconnect and test: a defroster that clears only half the glass is a connection fault, and we would rather find it now than on the first cold morning. Finally the trunk, seats and carpet are vacuumed, with the rear seats folded forward to reach what fell behind them.
We come to you
Mobile Auto Glass Service Across Dallas
Mobile service is how we deliver every auto glass job in Dallas, with no separate charge for coming to you.
At home. A driveway or a level spot on the street outside.
At work. Office lots are among the most common places we work — the job and any cure time happen while you are inside.
Parking garages. Covered parking keeps a rainy-day appointment on schedule. Tell us the garage and level so we can check the clearance for the van.
Apartments. A level space that is not a tandem spot, and any gate code or visitor permit the complex needs.
Weather. We do not bond glass in the rain. Without cover, we move the appointment rather than risk a leak.
Limits. A sloping driveway, a spot with no room to open the doors, or high wind can mean moving the car or the day.
We handle auto glass insurance claims. Glass damage — a cracked windshield, a smashed side window after a break-in — is usually covered under comprehensive rather than collision, and your deductible decides what you pay. Some policies cover chip repair with no deductible, because a repair is far cheaper for the carrier than the replacement it prevents.
Before you call your insurer, it helps to know whether you carry comprehensive coverage, what your deductible is, and whether your policy has a separate glass endorsement. Tell us your insurer when you book and we deal with the glass claim paperwork with them. Only your carrier can confirm what your policy covers. More in our guide to windshield insurance in Texas.

Which glass. A windshield, a door window and a heated rear windshield are different parts at different prices.
Type of damage. A chip that can be repaired costs a fraction of a replacement.
Glass specifications. Sensors, heating elements, acoustic layers, tint and camera brackets all raise the part cost.
Glass availability. Low-volume parts can take longer to source.
Moldings and clips. Some vehicles use single-use moldings that must be renewed.
Installation requirements. Rust under the old glass has to be treated before new glass goes on; we show you first.

Local
Dallas Neighborhoods We Serve
Dallas is our home market. Road debris from constant construction, summer heat that turns chips into cracks, and a city of parking garages, apartment lots and driveways all shape how we work here.

Street parking and small lots east of downtown. Weekday mornings are the easiest time to work here.
Oak Lawn
Apartment and condo parking off Cedar Springs and Oak Lawn Avenue. Let us know about gate codes or visitor permits.

Lakewood
Close to our base on Mockingbird Lane. Driveways and quiet streets make this an easy area for same-visit work.

Tight street parking near Greenville Avenue. A driveway or a rear alley spot is usually the better choice.
Preston Hollow
Long driveways and gated homes. Share the gate details when you book.
White Rock

Vickery Meadow
Large apartment communities near Park Lane. We need a level space that is not a tandem spot.
Pleasant Grove
Southeast Dallas driveways and lots, close to the I-30 and Loop 12 traffic that throws a lot of road debris.

How much does windshield replacement cost in Dallas?
An average windshield replacement is around $350. Glass with more features — rain sensors, heated areas, an acoustic layer, a camera bracket — can run up to about $600. Your quote is for the exact glass your vehicle takes, agreed before we start.
How much does windshield repair cost in Dallas?
Windshield repair in Dallas is about $100 for a chip. Extra chips on the same visit cost less than the first, and some insurance policies cover chip repair with no deductible.
Can a small chip in my windshield be repaired?
Usually, if it is about the size of a quarter or smaller, away from the edge and out of the driver’s direct line of sight. Send a photo with a coin next to it and we will tell you.
When does a windshield need replacing instead of repair?
When a crack is longer than about six inches or still growing, reaches the edge of the glass, sits right in front of the driver, or has gone through both layers of glass.
How long does a windshield replacement take?
The fitting is commonly one to three hours, plus the adhesive cure before the car is safe to drive. We give you the drive-away time for the adhesive used that day.
How long does a windshield chip repair take?
Commonly under an hour on site, and you can drive straight away because there is no adhesive to cure.
Do you offer mobile auto glass service in Dallas?
Yes. Our mobile auto glass service comes to your home, office or wherever the vehicle is parked in Dallas and across the Metroplex, with no separate charge for coming to you.
Can you replace a side window or door glass?
Yes. Side windows are tempered glass, so a broken one is replaced rather than repaired. We clear the broken glass from the door, seats and carpet and fit the new pane, usually in one visit.
Can you replace back glass or a rear windshield?
Yes, on cars, SUVs and pickups. We reconnect and test the defroster and any built-in antenna, and vacuum the glass from the cabin and cargo area.
What should I do right after a car window shatters?
Photograph the damage for your insurer, remove valuables, and cover the opening with plastic and tape if rain is coming. Then call us — the car is not secure until the glass is replaced.
Can broken auto glass be repaired instead of replaced?
A windshield chip or short crack often can, because windshields are laminated. Side and rear windows are tempered and shatter completely, so those always need new glass.
How do I get an auto glass quote?
Call (469) 200-4801, or send the auto glass quote form with your year, make, model and which glass is damaged. We confirm the right part and give you a price for your Dallas job.
Do photos help with a quote?
Yes. A photo of the damage tells us whether it is a repair or a replacement, and a photo from inside behind the rear-view mirror shows whether your windshield carries a camera or sensors.
What happens if it rains on my appointment day?
A windshield should not be bonded in the rain. If you have covered parking we carry on; if not, we move the appointment. A chip repair also needs dry glass.
How soon can I drive after a new windshield?
Once the urethane reaches safe drive-away strength, which depends on the adhesive, the temperature and the humidity. Your technician tells you the time for your job.
Do I need to be there during the work?
Not for the whole job. We need access to the vehicle and a phone number to reach you. Many Dallas customers leave the car at home or hand over keys at work.
Which Dallas areas do you serve?
All of Dallas, from Preston Hollow and Vickery Meadow to Oak Cliff, Pleasant Grove and White Rock, plus cities across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Ellis and Kaufman counties.
Do you work on SUVs, pickups and vans?
Yes — cars, SUVs, pickups and vans, which make up much of the traffic on Dallas roads. The practical question is whether the auto glass can be sourced for your vehicle, and we tell you that when we quote.
What affects the price of auto glass replacement?
Which glass it is, your vehicle and trim, features built into the glass, tint, moldings that must be renewed, and whether it is a repair or a replacement.
Will the new glass look like the original?
Factory tint is matched by ordering the correct part, so the shade matches. Glass from a different maker may carry a different logo in the corner; fit and clarity are what matter.
Do you handle insurance claims for auto glass?
Yes. Auto glass damage is usually a comprehensive claim in Texas, and we handle the claim paperwork with your carrier. Your insurer confirms what your policy covers and your deductible.
What should I do after a new windshield is installed?
Leave any tape on as long as advised, avoid slamming doors and high-pressure car washes for a few days, and leave a window slightly open in the Dallas heat on the first day. Call us if you notice wind noise or water.
