Same-day, OEM-quality windshield replacement from San Antonio’s family-owned auto glass shop. Certified technicians. ADAS calibration in-house. All insurance accepted. Lifetime workmanship warranty.
A cracked windshield isn’t just cosmetic — it’s structural. Your windshield carries up to 60% of the cabin’s strength in a rollover and houses the cameras that run lane-keep, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise. Replacing it cheaply, or with the wrong glass, or without recalibrating the ADAS camera, puts you and your passengers at risk.
River City Auto Glass Repair in San Antonio replaces windshields every day, the right way. We use OEM-quality glass, follow Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) installation standards, calibrate the camera in-house, and back every install with a lifetime workmanship warranty. Most replacements wrap up the same day — at our 6959 Alamo Downs Pkwy shop, or wherever you’re parked across San Antonio.
Not every chip needs a new windshield. A small chip or short crack can usually be filled and sealed in 30 minutes. But there are clear thresholds where replacement is the only safe option.
We source glass that matches your factory windshield — same thickness, same tint, same heat-rejection coating, same antenna and sensor cutouts. Aftermarket glass is available when budget is tight, but we’ll always tell you what’s on your vehicle.
Our installers follow Auto Glass Safety Council standards: proper urethane, proper bead, proper cure time, proper safe drive-away guidance. No shortcuts, no rushed jobs that leak six months later.
If your vehicle has lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise, or a forward-facing camera, we recalibrate the camera to factory spec — static, dynamic, or both — in our San Antonio shop the same day.
Every install is backed for as long as you own the vehicle. If anything we did fails — leaks, wind noise, adhesive failure — we make it right at no charge.
Most San Antonio drivers calling us with a cracked windshield want one thing: not to drive on it tomorrow. We get it. The vast majority of windshield replacements we book in the morning are completed the same day — typically in 60 to 90 minutes for the install itself, plus a one-hour safe drive-away time before the urethane reaches handling strength.
Drop off at our shop and pick up by lunch. Or schedule mobile service and we’ll come to you. Either way, you don’t wait days for an appointment, and you don’t drive across town with a windshield that’s failing.
Same-day availability depends on glass stock and ADAS calibration requirements. We’ll confirm the timing when you call.

A windshield replacement under your comprehensive coverage often comes with a low or zero deductible in Texas. Many Texas policies include zero-deductible glass coverage, which means a lot of our customers pay nothing out of pocket. We work directly with State Farm, GEICO, USAA, Allstate, Progressive, Farmers, and every other major carrier — billing your insurance and handling the entire claim from first call to final paperwork.
If you’re paying out of pocket, the price depends on your vehicle’s year, make, and model, the type of glass, and whether ADAS calibration is required. We’ll quote your exact vehicle in minutes — no fee for the estimate, no commitment to book.
Send a photo of the damage through our quote form, or give us a call. We’ll price the glass for your exact vehicle (year/make/model), confirm whether ADAS calibration is required, and verify your insurance coverage — usually in minutes.

The price depends on your vehicle’s year, make, and model, the type of glass, and whether your windshield includes features like rain sensors, heads-up display, or lane-keep cameras. ADAS calibration, if your vehicle requires it, is part of the total. If you have comprehensive insurance, your out-of-pocket cost may be $0 — many Texas policies include low or zero-deductible glass coverage. Send a photo through our quote form for an exact price for your vehicle.
In most cases, yes. Comprehensive coverage almost always covers windshield replacement caused by rocks, debris, or weather. We work directly with all major Texas carriers — State Farm, GEICO, USAA, Allstate, Progressive, Farmers, and others — and we handle the entire claim from start to finish. Many drivers in Texas pay nothing out of pocket because their policies include glass coverage with no deductible.
We default to OEM-quality glass — same thickness, tint, heat-rejection coating, and sensor cutouts as what came on your vehicle. OEM-equivalent glass from major manufacturers (Pilkington, Saint-Gobain Sekurit, AGC, Fuyao) meets DOT standards and is typically what insurers approve. If you specifically want OEM-branded glass (with the manufacturer logo), we can source it — usually at a higher cost and with a longer lead time. We’ll always tell you what’s going on your vehicle before we order.
Plan on about 60 to 90 minutes for the install itself. After the urethane adhesive is applied, we’ll give you a “safe drive-away time” — typically one hour — before you can drive the vehicle. If your vehicle requires ADAS calibration, plan another 60 to 90 minutes for that step, performed in-house at our San Antonio shop.
If your vehicle has lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, or a forward-facing camera mounted to the windshield, then yes — ADAS calibration is required after replacement. The camera position shifts when the glass is removed and reinstalled, and even small misalignment can disable safety features or cause them to misfire. We perform both static (target-based) and dynamic (road-driven) calibration in-house, so you don’t have to drive across town for a second appointment.
Yes. Our mobile units cover all of San Antonio — your driveway, an office parking lot, an apartment complex, or an active job site. Mobile replacements use the same OEM-quality glass, the same AGSC-certified technicians, and the same lifetime workmanship warranty as in-shop work. ADAS calibration that requires controlled lighting and target alignment may need to be done at our shop after the mobile install — we’ll let you know up front.
Driving with a cracked windshield is risky and may be illegal in Texas if the crack obstructs the driver’s view. Beyond visibility, a cracked windshield is structurally weakened — in a rollover or front-end collision, the windshield is part of the vehicle’s safety cage. A crack also tends to spread quickly with temperature changes (cold mornings, hot afternoons, A/C blasts), turning a small problem into a full replacement faster than people expect. If you can, get it replaced the same week.
Yes — every windshield replacement is backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. If the install leaks, develops wind noise, or has an adhesive issue, we’ll make it right at no charge. The warranty covers our work; the glass itself carries its manufacturer’s standard warranty.
