Professional Windshield Replacement – New OR Used OEM Glass

Brand new windshields Starting at $99

Service Overview

When windshield repair isn't possible, Low Price Auto Glass provides professional windshield replacement using high-quality glass at prices that beat dealers and chains by hundreds of dollars. Most importantly, we give you something no other shop can: real choices.

Want brand new OEM glass straight from the factory? We've got it. Prefer quality aftermarket glass at a lower price? We offer that too. Looking for original OEM glass from a donor vehicle at significant savings? That's our specialty – and it's something you simply can't get anywhere else in Oakland!

Located inside Pick-N-Pull at 8451 San Leandro St, Ste 1, Oakland, California 94621, we have unique access to thousands of vehicles, allowing us to source original factory windshields for almost any make and model. This is perfect for older vehicles where new glass might be discontinued or prohibitively expensive.

Most windshield replacements are completed in less than 1 hour, getting you back on the road quickly and safely. We use premium adhesives, follow proper installation procedures, and back our work with a parts and labor warranty on qualifying services.

When Replacement is Necessary

While we always try to repair when possible (it saves you money!), some damage requires complete windshield replacement for your safety:

Cracks Longer Than 6 Inches

Long cracks compromise your windshield's structural integrity and cannot be reliably repaired.

Multiple Chips or Cracks

Too much damage in one windshield means it's time for replacement. Your safety is worth more than trying to save a heavily damaged windshield.

Damage in Driver's Line of Sight

Even repaired damage in your direct line of sight can cause visual distortion and glare. Safety regulations often require replacement in these cases.

Edge Cracks or Damage

Cracks that reach the edge of your windshield or damage to the windshield frame area require replacement. These compromise structural integrity.

Deep Chips Penetrating Multiple Layers

If damage has penetrated through multiple layers of your laminated windshield, repair won't restore its strength. Replacement is necessary.

Failed Previous Repairs

If a chip was repaired before but is now spreading or showing signs of failure, it's time for a new windshield.

Safety First: We'll always give you an honest assessment. If your windshield can be repaired, we'll tell you – even though replacement is more profitable for us.

Glass Options – Your Choice!

🌟

Option 1: BRAND NEW OEM GLASS

What It Is:

Original Equipment Manufacturer glass – the exact same windshield that came from the factory when your car was built. Brand new, never installed.

Who It's For:

Newer vehicles, leased vehicles, owners wanting factory-original parts, those prioritizing warranty coverage

Benefits:

  • Factory specifications and fit
  • Perfect clarity and optics
  • Full manufacturer warranty
  • Best for newer vehicles

💎

Option 2: BRAND NEW AFTERMARKET GLASS

Budget-conscious owners, older vehicles, those wanting new glass at a lower price

Benefits:

  • Meets DOT safety standards
  • Perfect fit and clarity
  • Significant savings vs. OEM
  • Great value option
  • Quality construction

Pricing: Varies by vehicle (typically 20-30% less than OEM)

Option 3: USED OEM GLASS – UNIQUE TO US!

This option is ONLY available at Low Price Auto Glass because of our location inside Pick-N-Pull. No other Low Price Auto Glass shop in Oakland can offer this!

What It Is:

Original factory windshield removed from a donor vehicle at Pick-N-Pull. This is the SAME glass that came from the manufacturer – just pre-owned.

Quality Assurance:

Every used windshield is carefully inspected before installation:

  • No cracks, chips, or damage
  • Clear optics with no pitting or scratches in driver's view
  • Clean VIN and no signs of previous damage
  • Proper fit verified for your vehicle

Who It's For:

Older vehicles, high-mileage vehicles, budget-conscious owners, vehicles with discontinued glass, anyone wanting maximum savings without compromising safety

Benefits:

  • Original OEM glass at a fraction of new price
  • Perfect for older vehicles (10+ years old)
  • Great for vehicles where new glass is discontinued
  • Environmentally friendly (keeps glass out of landfills)
  • Same installation process and warranty as new glass
  • Massive cost savings – often 50-70% less than new!

Pricing: Call for a quote — availability varies by vehicle make/model

Why This Matters: If you have a 2010 Honda Accord and need a windshield, we can often source the original Honda OEM glass from a donor vehicle for much less than brand-new dealer pricing. It's the same glass – just smarter pricing!

Honest advice about ADAS calibration requirements

⚠️ IMPORTANT: ADAS Calibration Notice

If Your Vehicle Was Made in 2015 or Later, Read This Carefully

Modern vehicles have cameras mounted behind the windshield that control critical safety systems like:

  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Lane Keep Assist

After windshield replacement, these systems MUST be recalibrated.

This isn't optional – it's critical for your safety. Even tiny differences in glass angle or camera position can cause these systems to malfunction.

We Provide Professional ADAS Calibration:

  • State-of-the-art calibration equipment
  • Factory-spec procedures for your vehicle
  • Pricing: $149-$299 depending on vehicle
  • Usually adds 1-2 hours to service time
