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.

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!

What's Included in Your Installation
Every Low Price Auto Glass Windshield Replacement Includes:
⚠️ 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
Not sure if your vehicle needs calibration? Call us with your VIN and we'll tell you: (510) 568-7131
