When Replacement Is Necessary

Not all windshield damage can be repaired. If the crack is longer than 6 inches, the damage is in the driver's direct line of sight, or there are multiple cracks, replacement is typically the safest option.

At Raymond Smith Body Shop, we use OEM-quality glass that meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications. Our certified technicians follow factory-approved installation procedures to ensure proper sealing, adhesion, and structural integrity.

We also offer ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration services for vehicles with camera-based safety features. Proper calibration ensures your lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking systems work correctly after replacement.
