Auto Glass & Windshield Repair

A windshield chip in Sacramento that sits for two weeks at mild valley temperatures might never spread. The same chip on a vehicle parked overnight in Colfax during a spring cold snap — 70 degrees in the afternoon, 30 degrees by dawn — has a real chance of cracking out before you get to work. That 24-to-48-hour window is why mobile auto glass service matters more in the foothills than it does down the hill. The closest dedicated auto glass shop is a 40-minute drive to Auburn or Roseville, plus a half-day in a waiting room. Colfax Glass brings the shop to you.

We handle every type of automotive glass a brick-and-mortar shop does. Windshield chip repair takes 30 to 45 minutes on-site and runs $60 to $150 — often $0 with comprehensive insurance, because insurers would rather pay for a cheap repair now than a full replacement later. Full windshield replacement runs $300 to $700 without ADAS calibration, or $450 to $1,300 for 2020-and-newer vehicles that need static or dual calibration. We also replace driver and passenger side windows, rear windshields with defroster grids, quarter glass, and side mirror glass.

Our mobile service area covers the I-80 corridor and foothill communities on both sides of the highway: Colfax, Weimar, Applegate, Gold Run, Magra, Dutch Flat, Iowa Hill, Auburn, Grass Valley, Nevada City, and Foresthill. Same-day response is typical within the immediate Colfax-Weimar-Applegate-Gold Run area; outlying ridges like Iowa Hill and Foresthill usually schedule next-day because of drive time.

If your vehicle was built in 2020 or later, the windshield is probably more than glass. The forward-facing camera behind the mirror feeds lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. Replace the windshield and that camera has to be recalibrated — even if it appears to work fine. Skipping calibration is the single most common mistake drivers make to save time, and there is no dashboard light to warn you the camera is misaligned. We check ADAS requirements against the manufacturer database before we quote, and we itemize calibration in the original price so there are no surprises after the glass is already installed.
