Windshield Replacement Cost by City

Windshield pricing changed with driver-assistance tech. If your car has a camera at the glass (lane keeping, emergency braking; most cars since the late 2010s), the replacement requires camera recalibration, which adds a substantial fixed cost and is sometimes quoted separately or farmed out to a dealer. That's the single biggest reason two windshield quotes differ.

OEM glass costs more than quality aftermarket; acoustic, heated, or HUD-compatible glass narrows your options and raises the price. In some states, insurance covers glass with zero deductible, which is worth checking before paying cash. Mobile service usually costs little or nothing extra.
