Irvine Auto Glass Repair replaces damaged windshields for drivers in Irvine, California, installing OEM glass with mobile service that restores structural safety and optical clarity. A severely cracked windshield eliminates 30% of your vehicle's structural strength during rollovers and prevents proper airbag deployment. Our certified glass technicians deliver professional windshield installation directly to your home, workplace, or UCI campus across Irvine Spectrum, Woodbridge, Northwood, Turtle Rock, and Portola Springs.
Every windshield replacement service includes ADAS calibration to restore lane keeping and collision avoidance systems, and our lifetime windshield replacement warranty on workmanship, ensuring your vehicle meets federal safety standards without surprise fees.
Our expert glass technicians install OEM windshields and factory equivalent automotive glass using manufacturer specified procedures, advanced windshield adhesive systems, and precise ADAS recalibration. We provide mobile windshield service throughout Orange County and back every installation with our windshield warranty.
We install OEM windshields sourced directly from vehicle manufacturers. Every windshield matches exact specifications for thickness, curvature, tinting, and acoustic properties. We refuse aftermarket windshield products that compromise visibility or structural strength. Your replacement performs identically to the original factory installation.
Our mobile units bring the complete auto glass shop to your location in Irvine, Tustin, Costa Mesa, Lake Forest, Newport Beach, and Santa Ana. We carry windshield replacement tools, OEM glass inventory, adhesive systems, and ADAS calibration equipment. Schedule windshield installation at your home, office, or anywhere you park.
Every windshield installation includes our lifetime windshield replacement warranty covering workmanship defects, seal failures, and water leaks. If adhesive fails or leaks develop due to installation error, we re-install your windshield at zero cost. This windshield warranty remains valid for the duration of your vehicle ownership.
Vehicles manufactured after 2015 include forward-facing cameras mounted behind the windshield. These cameras control automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control. Windshield replacement shifts camera position by millimeters. We perform windshield calibration using manufacturer-specified targets, ensuring your ADAS functions accurately.

Certain types and locations of damage demand complete windshield replacement to maintain vehicle safety.
Windshield crack repair works only for fractures shorter than three inches. Longer cracks compromise structural integrity beyond what resin injection can restore.
Multiple cracks radiating from impact points require replacement regardless of individual crack length. Edge cracks extending from the windshield perimeter always necessitate full replacement.
Windshield chip damage in the driver's direct view creates optical distortion even after repair. California vehicle code requires replacement when damage obstructs critical vision areas.
Chips positioned over rain sensors, cameras, or heating elements interfere with these systems and typically require replacement.
Auto glass windshields consist of two glass layers bonded to a plastic interlayer. Surface chips affecting only the outer layer can be repaired.
Damage penetrating through to the inner glass layer or compromising the laminate interlayer cannot be restored. Deep chips with visible white hazing indicate interlayer damage requiring replacement.
Windshield chip repairs that fail showing spreading cracks or resin separation require replacement. Multiple previous repairs in proximity create stress concentration points that prevent additional attempts.
At Irvine Auto Glass Repair, our certified technicians follow precise, manufacturer recommended procedures. On average, the complete windshield replacement process takes 2-4 hours, including ADAS calibration.
Our technician evaluates the damage and documents the crack patterns. We verify your vehicle’s year, make, model, and VIN to ensure the correct OEM windshield is sourced. Specifications such as thickness, curvature, tinting, acoustic interlayer, and rain sensor compatibility are carefully checked.
To protect your vehicle’s interior, we use covers for the dashboard. The technician then removes the existing windshield using specialized tools to cut through the adhesive. The damaged windshield is prepared for recycling, and all glass fragments are vacuumed from the dashboard and interior.
We trim the old adhesive to the manufacturer-recommended height, typically 1-2mm. Any rust spots are treated, and the pinch weld is primed. Premium urethane windshield sealant is applied in a continuous bead around the frame, creating a waterproof bond.
The new OEM windshield is carefully positioned using calibrated suction cups and alignment guides, ensuring the proper gap spacing with the vehicle’s body panels. The glass is seated securely in the molding channels while the adhesive begins to cure.
Vehicles with advanced safety features such as forward-collision warning or lane-keeping assist require ADAS recalibration. Even small shifts in camera position can affect system accuracy. Calibration targets are placed precisely to ensure accurate recalibration, which typically adds 60-90 minutes to the replacement time.
Each installation undergoes a thorough inspection to verify seal continuity, proper alignment, and the absence of optical distortion. We test rain sensors and heating elements for functionality. Modern adhesives require 1-3 hours of curing before driving, and we provide safe drive away times based on conditions and adhesive type.
Standard windshields are generally more affordable than specialized glass, such as those with acoustic interlayers, rain sensors, or compatibility with heads-up displays. For luxury or European vehicles, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) windshields are often necessary, which can drive up costs.
If your vehicle has forward facing cameras, additional calibration may be needed for the new windshield. Static calibration, which can be performed on-site, is typically less expensive than dynamic calibration, which requires test drives for proper setup.
If the windshield molding is damaged or brittle, it will need to be replaced during installation. Using the correct original molding clips and trim pieces ensures a secure fit and effective water seal.
Without recalibration after windshield replacement, your safety systems operate with flawed data. Lane departure warnings trigger incorrectly or fail to activate when you drift. Adaptive cruise control maintains improper following distances. Emergency braking systems react late or not at all because cameras misread the distance to vehicles ahead. These failures transform advanced safety features into liabilities that give drivers false confidence in systems that no longer function correctly.
Our certified technicians are ready to install OEM windshields with convenient mobile service across Orange County. We also offer ADAS calibration and stand behind our work with a lifetime warranty. Same day appointments are available to fit your schedule.
