Have Your Windshield Replaced And Recalibrated
Our windshield replacement process is thorough and precise. First, we carefully remove your damaged windshield to protect your vehicle's frame and interior.
Next, we:
- Clean the pinchweld (where the glass sits)
- Apply new urethane adhesive
- Install your new OEM or equivalent windshield
- Allow proper curing time
For vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), we perform essential recalibration services. This ensures your safety features like lane departure warnings and automatic braking work correctly after replacement.
Our technicians use specialized equipment to recalibrate your system according to manufacturer specifications. This step is crucial for maintaining your vehicle's safety systems.
Enjoy Hassle-Free Insurance Claim Handling
Don't stress about insurance paperwork—we handle it for you. Our team works directly with all major insurance providers to process your claim efficiently.
Many comprehensive auto insurance policies cover windshield replacement with minimal or no deductible. We'll verify your coverage and explain:
- Your out-of-pocket costs (if any)
- Whether your policy includes OEM glass
- If your deductible applies to glass claims
We file all paperwork electronically and can often get approval while you wait. This speeds up the entire process and reduces administrative hassle for you.
Our staff stays updated on insurance policies and can help you maximize your benefits for windshield replacement or repair.
Get Back On The Road Safely
After replacement, we provide clear instructions to ensure your new windshield sets properly. Typically, you can drive away immediately, but we recommend:
- Waiting 1 hour before high-speed driving
- Leaving a window slightly open for 24 hours
- Avoiding car washes for 48 hours
- Not removing the retention tape for at least a day
All our windshield replacements come with a lifetime warranty against defects and installation issues. If you notice any problems—leaks, unusual noises, or visual distortions—contact us immediately for a free inspection.
We also provide a complimentary windshield care kit with each replacement, including glass cleaner and microfiber cloths specifically designed for automotive glass.
ADAS Recalibration
fter windshield replacement, proper ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) recalibration is essential for your safety. These systems depend on cameras and sensors that must be precisely aligned to function correctly.
Certified ADAS Experts
We employ only certified ADAS technicians who have completed specialized training programs. Our experts understand the complexities of different vehicle makes and models, ensuring accurate recalibration every time.
Certification requires extensive knowledge of manufacturer specifications and procedures. This isn't a job for generalists or untrained personnel.
Our team stays current with the latest technologies through ongoing education. As ADAS systems evolve, so do our skills and equipment.
We use manufacturer-approved tools and software for precise calibration. This attention to detail ensures your safety features work exactly as designed.
ADAS Checks
We perform comprehensive ADAS checks before and after windshield replacement. This two-step process helps us verify that all systems function properly.
Our pre-replacement evaluation documents your current system status. This creates a baseline for comparison after work is completed.
We test all camera-based systems including:
- Lane departure warnings
- Automatic emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
- Pedestrian detection
Post-replacement checks confirm proper recalibration. We use specialized testing equipment to verify camera alignment and sensor function.
We provide detailed documentation of all recalibration work performed. This paperwork is important for insurance purposes and maintaining your vehicle warranty.
Don't skip this crucial step! Improperly calibrated ADAS systems can give false warnings or fail to detect hazards when needed most.
How Long Does It Take To Replace My Windshield?
Most windshield replacements take less than 3 hours to complete. This timeframe includes removing the damaged glass, preparing the frame, and installing the new windshield.
Luxury or specialty vehicles might require additional time due to complex designs or extra features like rain sensors or heating elements.
The adhesive used to secure your new windshield needs time to cure properly. While the installation itself may be quick, we recommend waiting at least one hour before driving your vehicle.
Factors that can affect replacement time:
- Vehicle make and model
- Weather conditions (humidity and temperature)
- Windshield complexity (sensors, cameras, etc.)
- Special moldings or trim pieces
We offer same-day service for most vehicles when you schedule in the morning. Our technicians work efficiently without sacrificing quality or safety.
Remember that rushing the curing process can compromise the structural integrity of your windshield. Following our recommended wait time ensures your safety on the road.

Real Stories in Thornhill, ON
"The staff at MR automotive are very professional and honest. When Bobby told me my air conditioning would be a little more expensive to fix due to the previous owner crazy gluing all of the lines together - I was happy to understand the situation instead of just being presented with a huge bill to replace everything. This isn't the type of shop where you'll be told to replace things prematurely or without proper explanation and proof - which is quite hard to find these days!"
Owen Wright
"MR Automotive is full of people who know their stuff but it's also great for people who aren't car-savvy (like me!) I trust Bobby & David to do a great job every time, they never sell me on anything I don't need, but make sure I at least understand what's going on. Thankful to have a mechanic I know and love."
