Windshield Replacement in Matthews, NC
If you're in Matthews, here's what to know before you book. A cracked or shattered windshield is a structural and safety issue — your windshield supports the roof in a rollover and is where the passenger airbag deploys against. Replacement in Matthews means installing OEM or OEM-equivalent glass and letting the urethane adhesive cure to a safe drive-away time before you get back on the road.
Most Matthews drivers see windshield replacement land between $250 and $450, depending on the vehicle, glass, and any calibration involved.

Windshield Replacement FAQs — Matthews
How long does a windshield replacement take in Matthews?
The install itself is usually under an hour, but the adhesive needs a safe drive-away time — often 30 minutes to a few hours depending on the urethane and weather. A Matthews shop will tell you exactly when it's safe to drive.
Will my insurance cover a windshield replacement?
If you carry comprehensive coverage, glass is typically covered minus your deductible — and a few states waive the deductible entirely. Ask the shop to verify your coverage before the work.
Do I need ADAS calibration after replacement?
If your vehicle has a forward-facing camera mounted on the windshield, yes — it must be recalibrated so features like automatic emergency braking and lane-keep aim correctly. Many Matthews shops do this in-house.
