Glass Fixed Right; and Your Safety Systems Recalibrated. Auto Glass Repair in the Twin Cities

A rock chip, a cracked windshield, a shattered window from a break-in, glass damage from a collision. Whatever put you here, Collision Center 1 handles the full scope of auto glass repair and replacement across all 4 Twin Cities locations.

Damaged glass is more than an inconvenience

A small chip has a way of turning into a crack that runs halfway across the windshield before you know it. Temperature changes, road vibration, a hard stop. Any of it can spread the damage fast. What might have been a simple repair becomes a full replacement if you wait too long.

And on newer vehicles, a windshield replacement is more involved than it used to be. Cameras and sensors mounted to or near the glass often need to be recalibrated after a replacement. If that step gets skipped, those systems may not work correctly when you actually need them.

We assess it, handle the insurance, and get it done right.

We assess the damage first and tell you whether a repair will hold or a replacement is the right call. Either way, we handle the work from there.

If you have an insurance claim, we manage that process the same way we do with any collision repair. We work with your insurer directly, make sure the approved work reflects what your vehicle actually needs, and take the back-and-forth off your plate. And when a windshield replacement requires ADAS recalibration, we take care of that as part of the job, so your vehicle’s safety systems are working the way they’re supposed to when you drive away.

Auto glass services at Collision Center 1

We handle all types of auto glass work, whether it’s a standalone repair or part of a larger collision job.

Chip and crack repair

When the damage is caught early and the glass is still structurally sound, a repair can stop the spread and restore clarity without a full replacement. We assess the damage and tell you honestly whether repair is the right option.

Windshield replacement

When the damage is too far gone for repair, or when a collision has compromised the glass, we replace the windshield and make sure everything is seated and sealed correctly.

Side and rear glass

Break-ins, collisions, and other damage that takes out a side window or rear glass. We replace all vehicle glass, not just windshields.

ADAS recalibration

Many newer vehicles have cameras and sensors that are mounted to or calibrated through the windshield. After a replacement, those systems need to be recalibrated to work correctly. We address this as part of the replacement process.

Insurance claim assistance

Auto glass repairs and replacements are often covered by insurance. We work with your carrier directly and handle the claim process on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a chip or crack be repaired, or does the whole windshield need to be replaced?

It depends on the size, location, and depth of the damage. Some chips and cracks can be repaired without replacing the glass. Others have spread too far or are in a position that makes repair impractical. We look at the damage and give you a straight answer about which applies.

Does windshield replacement require ADAS recalibration?

On many newer vehicles, yes. Cameras and sensors that rely on the windshield need to be recalibrated after a replacement to work correctly. We address recalibration as part of the replacement process so your safety systems are functioning properly when you leave.

Do you replace side windows and rear glass, not just windshields?

Yes. We handle all vehicle glass, including side windows, rear windows, and glass damaged in a collision or break-in.

Will my insurance cover auto glass repair or replacement?

Glass repair and replacement is often covered under comprehensive insurance. We work with your carrier directly and manage the claim process on your behalf so you’re not dealing with it alone.

How long does auto glass repair or replacement take?

Glass work is generally quicker than a full collision repair, but the timeline depends on the type of work, parts availability, and whether ADAS recalibration is involved. We’ll give you a clear picture after we’ve assessed the damage.

Are your estimates free?

Yes. All 4 locations offer free estimates. We look at the damage with you and tell you what we find before any work begins.
