Frequently Asked Questions
Tempered glass (used in side and rear windows) is designed to shatter into small, relatively harmless pieces for safety, while laminated glass contains a plastic interlayer that holds fragments together when broken. A1 Auto Glass ensures the correct glass type is installed according to your vehicle's original specifications and safety requirements.
A1 Auto Glass can replace individual windows as needed. Each window is evaluated separately, and we only recommend replacement for damaged glass. However, if multiple windows were damaged in the same incident, we can coordinate complete restoration to minimize inconvenience and potentially reduce costs.
Most single window replacements can be completed within 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the window mechanism and vehicle access. A1 Auto Glass maintains thousands of glass options in stock, enabling same-day service for most common vehicles throughout El Cajon and East County.
