Auto Glass Replacement & Repair in Brantford, ON

Brake Service

Auto Glass Services in Brantford Backed by Novus Glass Quality

A damaged windshield isn’t just a cosmetic issue it’s a safety issue. Your windshield supports roof strength, helps airbags deploy correctly, and gives you the clear visibility you need in every season. A small chip can spread into a long crack overnight, and a crack in the wrong area can reduce your line of sight and weaken the glass during impact. That’s why getting the right repair quickly matters.

We make auto glass service easy by working with Novus Glass, a trusted name in windshield repair and replacement. You get a professional, streamlined experience with clear options, quality workmanship, and support if insurance is involved. Whether you need a quick chip repair, crack repair, or a full replacement, we’ll guide you through the best next step—without the stress.

Glass Services

Complete Auto Glass Services We Offer

We provide a complete range of automotive glass services, from quick repairs to full replacements. Below is everything we cover on this page, along with what each service includes and when it’s typically needed.

Windshield Replacement

If the damage is too large, too deep, or located in a safety-critical area, windshield replacement is often the safest solution. We replace windshields using quality glass and proper installation methods, including correct adhesives and cure times. This helps maintain structural integrity, visibility, and safe performance.

Windshield Chip Repair

Chips are common from road debris, gravel, and winter sand. In many cases, a chip can be repaired quickly if it’s small enough and hasn’t spread. Repair helps restore strength, improve appearance, and stop damage from growing especially when you take care of it early.

Side Window Replacement

Side windows can shatter from break-ins, impact, or stress damage. We replace side glass and ensure correct fit, seals, and operation of window mechanisms. If your door glass is damaged, we’ll get it fixed so you can secure your vehicle again quickly.

Rear Window Replacement

Rear window damage affects visibility and can impact rear defrost performance. We replace rear windows and verify proper installation, seals, and defrost connection (when applicable) so your vehicle is ready for real Ontario weather.

Insurance Claims Assistance

If your glass damage is covered, we help you navigate the process. We can guide you through the information insurance providers typically need and help make the claim smoother, so you’re not stuck making endless calls or guessing what to submit.

Mobile Glass Service (if offered)

If mobile service is available for your job, it’s a convenient option especially for busy schedules or vehicles that aren’t safe to drive. Mobile service eligibility depends on the type of repair, your location, and weather conditions.

What’s the Difference?

Chip Repair vs Full Replacement: When to Choose Each

One of the most common questions we hear is: “Can this be repaired, or do I need a new windshield?” The answer depends on safety and the nature of the damage—not just appearance.

When a chip repair makes sense

A repair is often possible when:

The chip is small and contained
The damage isn’t in the driver’s direct line of sight
The chip isn’t too close to the edge of the windshield
The glass isn’t severely contaminated with dirt or moisture
The damage is addressed quickly before it spreads

Chip repair is a great option because it’s faster, less expensive, and helps you keep the factory seal intact.

When replacement is the better option

A full replacement is commonly recommended when:

The crack is long or spreading
The damage sits near the edge (edges are structurally important)
The damage affects the driver’s clear vision zone
The windshield has multiple chips/cracks
The glass structure is compromised
Previous repair has failed or damage has worsened

We won’t guess. We’ll assess the damage and recommend the safest path for your vehicle and your budget.

Professional glass service completed

For repairs, we complete the chip or crack repair using proper tools and resins designed to restore strength and appearance. For replacements, we remove the damaged glass carefully, prep the bonding surface properly, install the new windshield or window, and use correct adhesives and cure time guidelines.

We verify fit, seal, and visibility. If the windshield was replaced, we’ll provide guidance on safe drive-away time and care instructions so the adhesive bonds correctly.

Glass Damage Fixed

When to Get Glass Damage Fixed (And Why Timing Matters)

A chip that seems minor today can spread faster than you think. Temperature swings, potholes, car washes, and road vibration all add stress to the glass. Ontario weather can turn a small chip into a long crack overnight—especially in winter.

It’s smart to book service sooner if:

The chip is newly formed
The damage is in a spot where your wipers pass frequently
You’re noticing the crack spreading
The damage is near the edge of the windshield
The crack is affecting visibility or catching light

Early repair is often the simplest way to avoid replacement.
