01 — Windshield Replacement

A new windshield, installed the right way.

A windshield is a structural part of your car — it supports the roof in a rollover and gives the passenger airbag something to push against. That’s why we don’t cut corners on the install. Every replacement at Tigris uses DOT-certified glass matched to your exact make, model and options, bonded with an OEM-approved urethane, and cured for the full safe-drive-away time before you leave.

  • DOT-certified glass matched to your VIN, including rain sensors, HUD and heated options
  • Old urethane trimmed, pinch-weld primed — no shortcuts that cause leaks or wind noise
  • ADAS camera recalibration done in-house the same visit on equipped vehicles
  • Lifetime workmanship warranty against leaks, stress cracks and air noise

How it works

Three steps, one visit.

STEP 1

Call us

Tell us the year, make and model. We confirm the right glass and whether you need calibration, then give you a time — usually today.

STEP 2

Install

Our certified techs remove the damaged windshield, prep the frame and set the new glass with fresh urethane. Most cars take 60–90 minutes.

STEP 3

Cure & calibrate

The adhesive cures for the safe-drive-away window while we recalibrate any forward-facing cameras. Then you’re back on the road.

When to replace instead of repair

A chip smaller than a quarter that isn’t in your line of sight can usually be repaired. Anything larger, a crack longer than about six inches, damage at the edge of the glass, or two or more cracks that meet means the windshield has lost its structural integrity and should be replaced. Not sure? Send us a photo or stop by the shop — we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.

Insurance and direct billing

Most comprehensive policies in California cover windshield replacement, and many carry a $0 glass deductible. We work directly with State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, Allstate, Farmers, USAA, AAA and Mercury: you give us your policy number, we file the claim and bill the insurer, and you don’t pay out of pocket beyond any deductible your policy sets.

Shop or mobile?

We recommend the shop at 1054 El Camino Ave when we can — it’s climate-controlled, which matters for urethane cure times, and it’s where our ADAS calibration equipment lives. If you can’t get to us, our mobile unit covers the whole Sacramento area, from Elk Grove to Roseville, at no extra trip charge.

*$0 deductible depends on your policy’s comprehensive glass coverage. We verify coverage with your insurer before work begins.

FAQ

Windshield Replacement questions.

Most vehicles take 60–90 minutes for the install itself, plus 30–60 minutes of safe-drive-away time for the urethane to cure. If your car needs ADAS recalibration, plan on about two hours total.
We install DOT-certified glass that matches your vehicle’s specifications, including sensors, tint band, and heating elements. If your insurer or you specifically want the manufacturer-branded part, we can order it — just ask when you call.
Usually yes, if you have comprehensive coverage. Many California policies have a separate, lower glass deductible — sometimes $0. We’ll check your coverage on the phone and bill the insurer directly.
Wait for the safe-drive-away time we give you (typically 30–60 minutes), avoid slamming doors and car washes for 24 hours, and leave the retention tape on for a day. After that it’s business as usual.
