Price the glass, respect the cure time

Auto glass money is made on the spread between what the glass costs you and what the job is worth done right in a customer’s driveway. Quote by the piece — chip, windshield, side, rear — bump it for trucks and luxury vehicles where the part alone can double, and bill ADAS recalibration as its own line, because it is its own job. Then protect the work: the urethane needs its cure time before the car drives, and rushing it is how a clean install turns into a comeback.

Questions

How much does windshield replacement cost?
Most 2026 replacements land between $250 and $800, with the national average around $450. An aftermarket windshield on a common sedan runs about $275–$400 installed; a late-model truck or SUV that needs camera recalibration commonly runs $500–$800; luxury and ADAS-heavy vehicles with acoustic or heated glass can pass $900. The glass itself is the swing — labor is fairly steady.
What should I charge for a rock chip repair?
Chip repairs typically run $50–$150, with most pros around $75 for the first chip and $25–$40 for each additional one on the same visit. It is high-margin work — resin costs a few dollars — and many insurance policies cover chip repair with no deductible, which makes it an easy yes for the customer.
When does a windshield need ADAS recalibration?
Whenever a camera or sensor sits behind the glass — lane-keep, automatic braking, adaptive cruise. Recalibration runs $150–$400 on top of the glass, and some vehicles need a dynamic drive, a static target board, or both. If you do not perform it, say so on the invoice — the customer needs to know their safety features may be off until it is done.
