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 Windshield Chip Repair
Common questions and tips from our work with Billings customers.
How long will my car be off the road for a chip fill?
Plan on 30 to 45 minutes for a single chip from setup through final polish. The resin injection itself takes minutes; the UV cure cycle is what locks the fill in place. Each extra chip on the same windshield adds roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Once we finish, you can drive immediately with no wait period.
What does the technician actually do on a chip repair visit?
We meet you at your driveway, workplace, or roadside spot anywhere in the Billings area. First the chip gets inspected to confirm it is repairable, then loose debris is cleaned out of the break. Resin goes in under vacuum, a UV light hardens it, and the surface is scraped flush. Payment and paperwork happen curbside before we leave.
Does cold weather change how a chip repair works?
Yes, and timing matters. Resin flows thicker in freezing temperatures, so the glass needs to warm a bit before injection for the fill to bond well. Montana's freeze-thaw cycles also make chips spread fast, sometimes overnight. A chip filled the same week it happens is far more likely to hold than one left through winter.
Keep tape off the glass if you can wait
Resin bonds best to clean, dry glass. A fresh chip left uncovered picks up wash water, road grime, and dirt from gravel roads around Lockwood and Laurel, which makes the finished repair more visible and less reliable. If you must drive a day or two before we arrive, clear tape over the spot keeps contamination out, then peel it just before we get there.
Leave the repair spot alone for a day
The cured resin sits just below the glass surface and needs 24 hours to reach full hardness. During that first day, skip pressure washing near the repair and avoid slamming doors, since pressure changes can stress the fill. After that, treat the windshield normally and the repair should hold for the life of the glass.
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.
