5.0 out of 5 from 19 reviews on Google.
Called A+ Glass and they brought a team out the next day to replace my SUV’s windshield! Great team and a job well done! Highly recommend!
A big thank you to A+ Glass! We did my boyfriend's pickup and my daughter's car. They did a great job and the communication was great! They're fixing a rock chip in my windshield soon too. Thanks guys!!!
He was super fast to get out fine and even though there was some confusion in which window it was, on an old truck, to boot, he still had it done and good as new in less than 2 hours. Very professional, personable, and competent. Pretty positive I'll be needing him again, especially with all these storms. He'll be the only one I'll call, it's going to be a life long relationship the way my luck goes, much as I dread it.

About Cracked Windshield Repair
Common questions and tips from our work with Billings customers.
How should I prep my truck before the glass tech arrives?
Clear the dash and rearview mirror area so the tech has room to work, and keep the vehicle parked in shade if you can. Skip washing the windshield because water and soap can push dirt into the crack before resin goes in. A crack smaller than a dollar bill has a much better shot at a clean repair, so call soon rather than letting it grow across the glass.
Can you repair a crack on an older vehicle with odd glass?
Often yes. Older windshields and hard-to-source panels are a big part of what we do in Billings and nearby towns like Laurel and Lockwood. If the crack is repairable, resin work saves you the sourcing hunt entirely. If the glass needs replacing, we track down the right panel and tell you plainly what the options and timelines look like before any work starts.
How long does a windshield crack repair take to cure?
The injected resin is UV-cured on the spot, so the repair is typically ready to drive within the hour the tech finishes. Full structural strength sets as the resin hardens under the curing light, which takes minutes, not days. Avoid slamming doors and pressure washing the repair area for the first day, since those vibrations and blasts can stress the fresh bond.
When is a crack too big to repair?
Industry guidance generally treats cracks longer than about six inches, cracks reaching the windshield edge, or damage in the driver's direct line of sight as replacement territory rather than repair. Montana temperature swings and gravel roads make cracks spread fast, so a chip you noticed last week may already be past the repair window. We assess it in person and give you an honest verdict.
Tape a crack before winter driving
A clear piece of tape over a dry crack keeps moisture and road grit out until your appointment. Water that freezes inside a crack expands it fast during a Billings cold snap, turning a repairable flaw into a full replacement. Never fill the crack with super glue or sealant, because those contaminate the glass and can stop the repair resin from bonding properly.
Common questions, straight answers
How much does windshield replacement cost in Billings?
Price depends on the year, make, and model of your vehicle, whether the windshield has sensors or a camera mount, the type of glass required, and whether ADAS calibration is needed after install. We put together an estimate based on those factors before any work starts, so you know the number up front.
What goes into a rock chip repair estimate?
The size of the break, how deep it sits, and where it landed on the glass all shape the estimate. A small chip away from the edge is usually a quick fill, while a crack in the driver's line of sight or a spreading break may call for replacement. You get a straight answer before we start.
Can you fix my windshield at my home or workplace?
That is how most jobs go. A+ Glass LLC is a mobile shop based in Billings, so the work happens in your driveway, at a job site, or wherever the vehicle is parked. Give us the location and a time that works, and we bring everything needed on site.
Which towns do you serve?
We cover Billings and the surrounding Yellowstone Valley, including Lockwood, Laurel, Huntley, Shepherd, Worden, Ballantine, Pompeys Pillar, Cline, Columbus, Hardin, and Red Lodge. If you are between towns, call (406) 598-8000 and we will confirm whether we can get to you.
How soon can you get to my vehicle?
Most Billings-area customers get an appointment within a day or two of calling. After a hailstorm or a run of highway rock chips, we work through calls in order and get everyone on the schedule. Our hours are 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM weekdays, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Saturday, and 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM Sunday.
What happens during the appointment itself?
We arrive at your location, inspect the glass, protect the paint and interior, remove the old piece, and set the new one with the correct bonding material. Once it has cured enough to drive, we walk you through care instructions, like keeping the area dry for a short period after install.
How should I get my vehicle ready for the visit?
Park somewhere level with room to work around the vehicle, clear personal items from the dash and seats near the damaged glass, and make sure we can reach the car. If a camera recalibration is needed, keep the fuel tank and cargo load close to normal so the vehicle sits at its usual ride height.
Will my new windshield need ADAS camera calibration?
Often, yes. Late-model vehicles that use a camera for lane departure or collision warnings need that camera recalibrated after new glass goes in. We handle the calibration as part of the job so your safety systems work the way the manufacturer intended.
Is it possible to repair a crack instead of replacing the whole windshield?
Sometimes. Short cracks and most rock chips outside the driver's line of sight can be filled and sealed. Long cracks, damage at the glass edge, or multiple breaks usually mean replacement is the safer call. We inspect the damage and tell you which option makes sense for your situation.
What kinds of vehicles do you handle?
Along with everyday cars and SUVs, our crew covers truck windshields, fleet auto glass for Billings businesses, RV and camper glass, quarter glass, door glass, and older or classic vehicles. Call us with the year and model and we will track down the right piece.
