How long will it take to fix a car window?
Last week someone smashed my back passenger window. I’ve been driving around with a tarp cover on my window and have been putting off repairs because I have a busy schedule. How long does it take to fix a car window?

I’m sorry to hear someone broke your car window. While a temporary covering can protect you and your car against the natural elements, your valuables and car interior are vulnerable to theft and vandalism. You can get your car window fixed at an auto glass repair shop in an hour or less. If you don’t have time to go to an auto body shop you can have a mobile auto glass repair technician come to your home or work.
In one hour, your auto glass repair technician will:
- Inspect the damage
- Remove the door panel to access the remaining glass
- Vacuum any broken glass in your vehicle
- Insert a new side window
- Test the window to ensure it functions properly
- Replace the door panel
Before you get the window fixed, check to see if your
car insurance covers window repairs
. If it doesn’t, you should get comprehensive car insurance
to protect your car from future theft or weather damage. Jerry
is the easiest and most effective way to find a car insurance policy that is customized for you.
