The replacement price of a new windshield takes into consideration
many variables with cost ranging from $150.00 to over $1,000.00.
Why don't all windshields have the same price?
Simply put it's about supply of windshields versus demand for windshields. There comes a point in time when windshield manufacturers reduce output or simply stop producing windshields for certain vehicles altogether. Windshield cost is directly related to the year, make and model of the vehicle as well as popularity of vehicle. For instance, if you drive a newer, popular vehicle you may pay less than someone driving an older, less popular vehicle. The windshield cost will also vary based on features built into the windshield such as rain sensing wipers or heated wiper rest area not to mention if you want Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM) glass or Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) glass.
The only true way to know the windshield cost is to get as many quotes as possible but keep in mind that price alone should not drive the purchase decision. Compare windshield glass warranties, air and water leakage warranties as well as the certification and credentials of the installing technician. Lastly, consider the financial strength and length of operation of the auto glass replacement company as you will want peace of mind knowing any warranty provided will be honored.
