Car Windshield Repair vs. Replacement
Windshield Repair (Rock Chips & Minor Cracks)
Small chips and short cracks can often be repaired before they spread.
We commonly repair:
- Rock chips
- Star breaks
- Bullseye cracks
- Surface-level cracks
- Road debris impact damage
Not all windshield damage requires replacement. Factors like crack size, depth, and location determine whether repair is safe. If you’re unsure, you can learn more about how professionals evaluate damage in our guide:
Windshield Replacement (When Repair Isn’t Safe)
Replacement is required when:
- Cracks are long or spreading
- Damage is in the driver’s line of sight
- Structural integrity is compromised
We provide:
- Complete windshield replacement
- OEM or OEM-equivalent auto glass
- Precision installation and sealing
- Manufacturer-approved urethane adhesives
We follow strict curing times and bonding procedures — not rushed installs.
Same-day windshield replacement available (based on glass availability).
Why Proper Windshield Installation Matters
Your windshield is a critical safety component, not just glass.
- Contributes up to 45% of structural strength in front-end collisions
- Supports airbag deployment alignment
- Helps prevent roof collapse during rollovers
Improper installation can lead to:
- Reduced crash protection
- Airbag malfunction
- Water leaks and wind noise
- Glass failure during impact
That’s why we use OEM-grade adhesives, controlled curing environments, and installation procedures — never shortcuts.
Side & Rear Window Replacement
Broken side or rear glass can result from accidents, vandalism, or debris.
We replace:
- Driver and passenger side windows
- Rear windshields (back glass)
- Quarter glass
- Vent glass
If surrounding panels are damaged, we can complete body repair and refinishing in-house for full restoration.
ADAS Camera Recalibration (If Required)
Do I need recalibration after windshield replacement?
Yes — in many modern vehicles.
If your car has ADAS features, recalibration is often required for:
- Lane departure warning
- Forward collision alert
- Automatic emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
We identify whether recalibration is needed and follow manufacturer procedures to ensure system accuracy and safety.
Modern windshields often house cameras and sensors for safety systems.
If your vehicle is equipped with ADAS, recalibration is typically required after replacement to restore accuracy and safety.

Auto Glass Leak Detection & Seal Repair
If you notice:
- Water leaks
- Wind noise at highway speeds
- Damp interior after rain
- Fogging or moisture buildup
The issue may be improper sealing or degraded materials.
We inspect:
- Bonding integrity
- Weather seals
- Glass alignment
Then restore proper sealing to eliminate leaks, drafts, and noise.
Common Mistakes We See (And Fix)
With over 15+ years in collision repair, we regularly correct issues caused by improper installs:
- Driving before proper adhesive curing
- Cheap aftermarket glass with visual distortion
- Skipping ADAS recalibration
- Mobile installations in uncontrolled environments
- Poor sealing leading to leaks and wind noise
Our shop-based environment allows for controlled installation, curing, and final safety verification.
Huntington Beach Driving Conditions Matter
In coastal areas like Huntington Beach:
- Heat and sun exposure can cause cracks to expand quickly
- Road vibration from daily driving accelerates damage spread
- Coastal humidity can affect seal integrity over time
Even small chips can worsen faster than expected — early repair helps prevent larger issues.

They are incredible! Our car had been hit and we were flustered. They walked us through the process and helped us with the insurance as well as a car rental. Not just that, they went above and beyond to make sure to find a rental that fit our family(family of 6). The communication was great every step of the way. They got the work done in a timely manner and they were quick to get our vehicle back to us. Of course the most important part is that they did an incredible job, our car looks as good as new. Huge shout out to Fernando who was our point of contact and Jessica who kept us updated!

I brought my truck in with a peeling roof, and Eric and the team did an outstanding job repairing it and perfectly matching the paint color. They went above and beyond by polishing and detailing the entire truck, making it look like it had just come off the showroom floor. Their pricing was very competitive, and they stand behind their work with a guarantee. Overall, this is a fantastic shop with exceptional customer service and quality workmanship. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch auto body repair.

Incredible service, extremely honest employees, and exceptional work. Everyone here is very friendly and will not try to upsell you or charge you for more than what is necessary. Highly recommend Pablo, Jessica, and the entire staff! Coming here for all of my auto body needs from now on.

The customer service and attentiveness provided by Pablo and the team were outstanding. You feel like a celebrity walking through the door. They are kind and welcoming. They will assess your vehicle, coordinate with the insurance company and get you on your way quickly. If you need a rental, they have a partnership with a rental company (Midway) that has very reasonable daily & weekly rates (if your insurance company doesn't cover rentals). They will connect you to the rental company and the vehicle is waiting for you on-site. They provide updates while your vehicle is getting its glow-up, work well with the insurance adjusters if anything needs to be added and will return your car as good as new! Very grateful.

These guys are awesome. I showed up with some scratches on my truck and they came out and fixed it right away. What took me hours he did in minutes. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone. I have one more deep scratch to get taken care of and can't wait to work with them again.

I had a great experience with ER Collision and Autobody Shop in Huntington Beach. From the moment I walked in, everyone was professional, honest, and genuinely helpful. I needed a quote for some paint damage, and Pablo Lopez was able to help me the very same day. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel pressured. I really appreciated his honesty and transparency throughout the process. I also want to recognize Fernando and Jessica for providing outstanding customer service. They were friendly, welcoming, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It's hard to find an auto body shop you can truly trust, but ER Collision and Autobody Shop earned my confidence. Because of their honesty, transparency, and excellent customer service, I'll definitely be coming back for any future auto body needs. I won't hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.

We had previously been to ER Collision and Autobody and we are a repeat customer. They do a fantastic job with every detail. I had my car valdelized and Eric did a great inspection and met with our insurance adjuster. Everything Eric recommended was approved for repairs. The staff and everyone we came in contact were very helpful and sent updates on the entire process. My car looks brand new again Thanks to ER Collision!

Visited for two times on past years for two unfortunate not-at-fault collisions. While it was slightly longer repair process than expected, but they did amazing job to match paint finish electrical work on my G70. Will come back again whenever I need repair on my vehicle. Staffs have amazing communication while insurance was giving us a hassle.
