Auto Glass Service
Made Easy
Work With Us Auto Glass Quote

Although we work with all kinds of glass products, we specialize in automobile glass. We replace and repair windshields, back glass, door, side, mirrors, and truck sliders. We use the best quality glass and the finest urethane adhesive that not only gives an added safety factor but allows the vehicle to be driven only one hour after a windshield replacement.

In addition to windshield replacement, we provide the same quality service for the following auto glass items:

  • Windshield Repairs (in-shop only)
  • Back Glass Replacements
  • Door Glass Replacements
  • Side and Rear Mirror Replacement/Repair
  • Truck Sliders

People often overlook the large contribution toward auto safety that is made by the car’s windshield. Modern windshields play a vital role in many safety features in today’s vehicles. Lane assist, navigation, antennas, and automatic wipers are among some of the safety features impacted by the windshield.

All cars today have airbags installed. These airbags inflate in case of an accident to protect the driver and front-seat passenger. When the airbag inflates, it provides a soft cushion between the windshield and the driver or passenger as long as the windshield was installed properly with a quality adhesive.

A windshield that pops out in an accident renders the airbag completely useless. Our well-trained technicians at Sunrise Glass use only the highest quality adhesive to ensure the windshield stays in place, allowing the airbag to be effective. This is the same product used in over 95% of cars made in America.

Sure, it costs a little bit more than many inferior brands. However, we think our customers deserve the extra safety benefit it provides. Don’t you?

Windshield Repair/Replacement

Having to deal with a broken windshield can be frustrating. Let Sunrise Glass take the stress away from you. On average, our technicians have 25 years of experience.

If your car is old or new, you are in good hands. Best yet, we are the glass company that comes to you! No matter if it is your windshield, back-glass, side, or window, we have you covered.

Repair

If the damage to your windshield is just a “chip” or “ding” smaller than a quarter, you may only need a repair. The good news is that this is a quick process. Our expert technicians use cutting-edge ultraviolet cured plastic resin.

To get the best results from your repair, schedule as soon as possible when the damage occurred. The longer you wait, the less likely it will be that the damage will disappear. So, contact us as soon as the damage occurs!

Have glass coverage in your insurance policy? Your insurance company may waive your deductible. This saves you any out-of-pocket expense.

If you decide to pay out of pocket, you will be surprised at how affordable repair is. We also offer a discount if you have multiple chips. Contact us for a quote today.

For a “chip” or “ding” to be repaired, it must meet the following criteria:

  • The damaged area must be smaller than a quarter. This includes the legs of the cracks.
  • The “ding” must be at least one inch from the edge of the windshield.
  • Repairs are done in-shop only to achieve the best results.

Replacement

We recommend replacing your windshield for the following reasons:

  • The “chip” or “ding” is in your line of vision.
  • You have three or more “chips.”
  • If you have a hard time seeing through the windshield in bright sunlight.
  • The windshield wipers do not clear water as they should and are in good condition.
  • If the damage is larger than a quarter.

If you are not sure if your windshield should be replaced or repaired, please drop by our Brewer or Ellsworth locations, and we can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to replace a windshield?

It typically takes 1.5-2 hours to replace a windshield. Keep in mind all vehicles are different. If the vehicle has a lift kit or any pre-existing damage, it can take longer.

The longest part of the replacement is the wait time for the urethane. We have found the best results come when the urethane cures for an hour after the windshield is in place.

Do you have my windshield in stock?

We have the most common vehicles and commercial vans in stock. We can often get these cars on the same day. For all other windshields, we can get most within 24 hours of your call.

Will you replace my inspection sticker, parking permit, etc.?

Yes, in some cases, stickers do tear. We always try our best to put things back exactly as you had them.

Do I need to wait with my vehicle?

No, you do not need to be present when we replace your windshield, but we do need the following:

  • We need the vehicle unlocked with keys available for the technician.
  • If using insurance, we need you to sign your name on paper permitting us to bill your insurance company.

My rearview mirror is attached to my windshield. Will you reattach it?

Yes, we remove your rearview mirror and attach it to your new windshield.

Can you come out in any weather to replace my windshield?

If you have a heated garage with space for our technician to move around the vehicle, yes! However, in the winter and during inclement weather, we only schedule windshield replacement in our shop. We need the temperature warm enough for the urethane and the molding to be pliable.

We also may not be able to replace your windshield on a rainy day. We don’t want the interior of the vehicle to get wet when the windshield is removed.

Can you guarantee the chip or crack will be invisible after the repair?

No, the repair process does not always make the damage disappear. The main purpose of a repair is to keep the glass from cracking further. Most repairs improve the cosmetic appearance of the chip.

Can you guarantee the chip or crack will not get worse during the repair?

Unfortunately, no. Due to the repair process, the windshield may crack further. We do guarantee that successful repair will not chip or crack further. In the unlikely event that the repaired crack gets larger, we will credit the repair cost towards the purchase of a new windshield.

Can you fix the sunroof in my car?

No, we only repair and replace windshields, back glass, and side windows.
