Read AnswersWindshield chip repair at E.A. Glass starts at $25.
A single rock chip smaller than a quarter is filled with resin and cured on site. Most comprehensive policies waive the deductible on chip repair, so many Arizona drivers pay nothing out of pocket. The final price depends on the number of chips and the vehicle.
More On This TopicYes, if you carry comprehensive coverage, it typically covers auto glass subject to your deductible.
Arizona does not mandate a zero-deductible glass law, so your policy terms decide what you pay. Chip repair is frequently covered with the deductible waived because carriers would rather pay for a repair than a replacement. Bring your policy number and the date of loss and we handle the rest.
More On This TopicYes, if your vehicle has a forward-facing camera mounted to the windshield.
Lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning all read the road through that camera. Moving the glass by even a millimeter changes its aim. We identify ADAS vehicles when we quote, so recalibration is priced in rather than discovered later.
More On This TopicBoth. E.A. Glass runs mobile service across Southeastern and Northern Arizona and also works out of the Thatcher and Holbrook shops.
Mobile is standard for homes, offices, jobsites and fleet yards. A mobile install needs a dry, reasonably level spot and enough time for the adhesive to cure before driving. Additional fees can apply to mobile installs depending on distance.
More On This TopicAbout 20 to 30 minutes for a single chip.
The resin is injected, cured and polished while you wait. You can drive immediately afterward. Fixing a chip early is the cheapest glass decision you will ever make, because once it runs, the whole windshield goes.
More On This TopicUsually yes. We replace the failed insulated glass unit and keep your existing frame.
Fog between the panes means the seal on the IGU failed and the argon has escaped. Replacing just the glass unit costs far less than a full window replacement and restores the insulating value, which matters in Arizona summers.
More On This TopicYes. Storefront systems, tempered and safety glazing, door hardware, drive-thru windows and emergency board-up.
We have handled commercial glazing across Graham, Greenlee, Navajo and Cochise Counties for decades, from restaurant fronts to college campuses to convenience stores. Bonded and insured for commercial and government work.
More On This TopicE.A. Glass in Thatcher, minutes from Safford, replaces windshields in shop or at your location in Safford.
Same-day mobile service in Safford is routine. Chip repair starts at $25, insurance is billed directly, and ADAS recalibration is handled in house when your vehicle needs it.
More On This TopicYes. E.A. Glass acquired It's The Glass Shop in Holbrook, Arizona.
Same ownership, same installation standards, same satisfaction-backed workmanship. The Holbrook location keeps the name the High Country already knows, and now has the depth of a shop that has been in business since 1995.
More On This TopicA windshield replacement is quoted per vehicle, and E.A. Glass gives you the real out-the-door number before any work starts.
Price depends on the glass itself, whether the vehicle has a rain sensor, heated wiper park, acoustic interlayer or a forward-facing ADAS camera, and whether recalibration is required. We quote all of it up front, no surprise line items when you pick up the vehicle.
More On This TopicE.A. Glass serves Graham, Greenlee, Cochise, Gila, Navajo and Apache Counties in Arizona.
From the Thatcher shop we cover Safford, Pima, Duncan, Clifton, Morenci, Willcox, Globe and the Gila Valley. From the Holbrook shop we cover Winslow, Snowflake, Taylor, Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Heber-Overgaard and the Round Valley. We travel further for fleet, commercial and government work.
More On This TopicIt's The Glass Shop, part of E.A. Glass, at 110 E Buffalo St in Holbrook.
In-shop and mobile windshield replacement, chip repair, door and back glass, plus residential and commercial glass across Navajo and Apache Counties.
More On This TopicNo. In Arizona you choose the glass shop, not your insurer.
Carriers often steer customers to a network shop, and you are free to decline. Tell them you are using E.A. Glass and we will handle the claim from there. Your rate and your coverage are unaffected by the shop you pick.
More On This TopicAuto glass, residential windows, commercial storefronts and shower enclosures throughout Northern Arizona.
From Holbrook we serve Winslow, Snowflake, Taylor, Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Heber-Overgaard, St. Johns, Springerville and Eagar, in shop and mobile.
More On This TopicYes, including safety glass built to MSHA and OSHA standards.
Dozers, haul trucks, drills, loaders, tractors, swathers and school buses. We fabricate and install flat and curved safety glass and can come to the pit, the yard or the field.
More On This TopicThe safety systems can misjudge distance and lane position, which is a real safety risk.
A camera aimed even slightly wrong can brake late, brake for nothing, or drift the steering assist. Most manufacturers require recalibration after any windshield replacement on an ADAS vehicle, and skipping it can also affect a liability claim after a collision.
More On This TopicYes. Solar screens block a large share of the sun's heat before it ever reaches the glass.
They cut heat gain, reduce glare, protect flooring and furniture from fading, and take load off the air conditioner during Gila Valley summers. We measure, build and install to your openings in a range of frame and mesh colors.
More On This TopicPlan on about one hour of safe drive-away time with the urethane we use.
The install itself typically runs one to two hours. After that the adhesive needs to reach the strength required to hold the glass in a crash. Leave a window cracked for the first day, skip the automatic car wash for 48 hours, and avoid slamming doors while it sets.
More On This TopicLook for a camera housing behind the rear-view mirror, or lane and cruise icons on the dash.
If your vehicle warns you when you drift out of a lane, holds distance in cruise, or brakes on its own, it has ADAS. Tell us the year, make, model and VIN when you request a quote and we confirm it for you.
More On This TopicRain, blowing dust and freezing temperatures can delay a mobile install, and we will reschedule rather than compromise the bond.
Urethane needs clean, dry, reasonably warm conditions to bond correctly. If the weather turns, we move the job into the shop or reschedule. The bond is what holds the windshield in a rollover, so it is not something we rush.
More On This TopicSame day whenever the glass is in stock, and emergency board-up the same day when it is not.
Call the nearest shop, Thatcher or Holbrook. For after-hours break-ins we secure the opening first and install the permanent glass on the next business day.
More On This TopicYes. E.A. Glass serves Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake and Taylor from the Holbrook shop.
Mobile auto glass, dual-pane window and IGU replacement, and custom shower enclosures throughout the White Mountains.
More On This TopicYes, we measure, fabricate and install frameless and semi-frameless shower enclosures, custom mirrors, tabletops and shelving.
Everything is cut to your actual opening rather than forcing a stock kit into a space it does not fit. We also do wall-to-wall gym and studio mirrors.
More On This TopicBecause the glass, the adhesive and the recalibration are not the same.
Cheaper quotes often use lower grade aftermarket glass, skip the recalibration a camera-equipped vehicle needs, or use a urethane with a longer safe drive-away time. We quote OEM-quality glass and include recalibration when the vehicle requires it.
More On This TopicYes, E.A. Glass files and manages the glass claim for you.
Give us your carrier, policy number and the date the damage happened. We verify coverage, submit the claim, and tell you exactly what, if anything, you owe before we schedule the work.
More On This TopicYes. We schedule fleet glass around your operation and come to your yard.
Service vans, box trucks, semis, buses and equipment. One point of contact, consistent glass quality, and billing that matches how your fleet accounts are set up.
More On This TopicNo surprise invoices. No upselling. Just expert glass work from the team Eastern Arizona trusts.
