What Determines Your Windshield Replacement Cost?
Vehicle Make, Model & Year
A Honda Civic windshield costs $280-$380, while a Tesla Model Y runs $900-$1,250. Larger vehicles and luxury brands cost more due to glass size and complexity.
Glass Type (OEM vs. Aftermarket)
OEM glass matches factory specs perfectly. OEE offers the same quality at ~20% less. Aftermarket saves ~40% but may not be compatible with ADAS systems.
ADAS Calibration
If your vehicle has lane departure warning, automatic braking, or adaptive cruise control, the forward-facing camera behind your windshield must be recalibrated after replacement. This adds $150-$500.
Insurance Coverage
Colorado law (CRS 10-4-613) requires insurers to offer zero-deductible glass coverage. Many comprehensive policies include it. You may owe $0 out of pocket.
Colorado Climate Impact
Denver's 80+ degree daily temperature swings in spring and fall cause chips to spread faster. Higher altitude means stronger UV exposure, weakening glass over time.
Local Market Rates
Colorado Front Range prices average 5-10% higher than the national average due to higher demand from construction debris on I-25 and I-70 gravel exposure.

Colorado Drivers: You May Pay $0 for Windshield Replacement
Colorado Law CRS 10-4-613
Colorado requires auto insurance companies to offer zero-deductible comprehensive glass coverage. Many policies include this by default. If you elected this coverage, windshield replacement may cost you nothing out of pocket.
Chip repairs are almost universally covered at $0 deductible in Colorado, even without the optional glass coverage add-on. Insurance companies prefer to pay $50-$100 for a chip repair rather than $300-$500+ for a full replacement later.
How to check your coverage: Call the number on your insurance card and ask “Do I have zero-deductible glass coverage?” If you have comprehensive coverage in Colorado, there’s a good chance you do.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does windshield replacement cost on average?
For most vehicles, windshield replacement costs between $250 and $600 without ADAS calibration. With ADAS calibration, expect $400-$1,100. Luxury and electric vehicles can run $500-$1,900+.
Does insurance cover windshield replacement in Colorado?
Colorado law (CRS 10-4-613) requires insurers to offer zero-deductible glass coverage. If you elected comprehensive coverage with this option, your replacement may be fully covered. Chip repairs are almost always covered at $0.
What is ADAS calibration and why does it cost extra?
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) includes features like lane departure warning and automatic braking. These systems use a camera behind your windshield that must be precisely recalibrated after replacement. This typically adds $150-$500.
What's the difference between OEM, OEE, and aftermarket glass?
OEM glass is made by the same manufacturer as your original windshield. OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) meets the same safety standards at ~20% less cost. Aftermarket glass is the most affordable option (~40% less) but may not be compatible with ADAS systems.
How long does windshield replacement take?
Most windshield replacements take 1-2 hours. Mobile technicians can come to your home or office. After installation, you should wait at least 1 hour before driving to allow the adhesive to cure.
Should I repair or replace my windshield?
Small chips (smaller than a quarter) and cracks shorter than 6 inches can usually be repaired for $50-$100. Larger damage, cracks in the driver's line of sight, or damage near the windshield edges typically requires full replacement.
