Chip, crack, or full replacement — we handle it. Mission Glass provides auto glass repair and windshield replacement in San Antonio. Insurance accepted. Quality glass. Expert installation.
A cracked windshield isn't just an eyesore — it's a safety hazard. Your windshield provides up to 30% of your vehicle's structural integrity and is critical for proper airbag deployment. Driving with a compromised windshield puts you and your passengers at risk. Texas law also restricts driving with cracks that obstruct the driver's view.
Mission Glass repairs chips and replaces windshields at our San Antonio location on Grissom Rd. We work with most auto insurance providers and can often bill your comprehensive coverage directly — sometimes with zero deductible for chip repairs. We source quality glass and use professional-grade adhesives for a safe, lasting installation.
Small chips (smaller than a quarter) can often be repaired without full replacement. Repair costs less, takes less time, and is usually covered by insurance with no deductible.
Longer cracks, edge damage, or chips in the driver's line of sight require full replacement. We source quality windshields and install with professional adhesive.
Door glass, quarter panel glass, and rear windshields. Tempered glass that meets OEM specifications for your vehicle.
Modern vehicles with lane departure warning, automatic braking, or rain sensors may need windshield calibration after replacement. We'll let you know if your vehicle requires this.
Not every chip needs a full windshield replacement. Here's a quick guide: chips smaller than a quarter and cracks shorter than 3 inches can usually be repaired. Cracks longer than 3 inches, chips in the driver's direct line of sight, damage near the edge of the windshield (within 2 inches), or multiple chips close together typically require full replacement. Mission Glass will always give you an honest assessment — repair is cheaper and we recommend it when it's the right call. We won't push a full replacement if a repair will do the job safely.
Insurance coverage: Most comprehensive auto policies cover windshield repair — and many cover it with no deductible for chip repairs. Full replacement is also typically covered under comprehensive. Call your insurance company before scheduling to confirm your coverage. Mission Glass can bill your insurer directly in many cases, handling the paperwork so you don't have to. See our FAQ page for more on insurance claims.

Chips smaller than a quarter and cracks shorter than 3 inches can usually be repaired. Longer cracks, chips in the driver's line of sight, or damage near the edge typically require full replacement. We assess honestly — repair is cheaper and we recommend it when appropriate.
