Chipped windshield, cracked glass or a sunroof that burst in the heat? West Melbourne Auto Glass comes to your home, office or company yard, fixes the glass on the spot and walks you through the insurance claim.
The basics
Auto glass repair in West Melbourne covers every piece of glass on a car, truck or van: sealing a rock chip with resin, replacing a cracked windshield, putting in new sunroof glass and re-aiming the driver-assist camera that looks through the windshield. Most of the damage we see starts on I-95, US-192 and Palm Bay Road, where gravel trucks and highway speed turn small stones into broken glass.
A windshield is a structural part of the car. It is bonded to the frame with urethane, it helps the roof hold up in a rollover and it gives the passenger airbag something to push against. Getting that bond right is the real job.
Signs to watch for
West Melbourne drivers usually call after one of these moments. If one matches what you are looking at, the glass needs attention soon.
A sharp crack sound, then a small star or bullseye. Call now, while a resin repair can still save the glass.
Cold AC on a sun-baked windshield makes chips run into cracks fast, especially from May through September.
New neighborhoods west of I-95 bring dump trucks and loose gravel onto Minton Road, Ellis Road and the Heritage Parkway.
Tempered roof glass can shatter from heat, a stone or a stress point, often with a loud bang while parked.
Summer thunderstorms and hurricane season send limbs, roof shingles and lawn furniture into parked cars.
A lane-keep or collision light after a windshield job usually means the camera was never recalibrated.
Start to finish
Every mobile windshield job follows the same five steps, whether the car is in a driveway in a Hollywood Boulevard neighborhood or in a business park off Wickham Road.
You call or send the form. We match the exact glass for your vehicle, including sensors and heated areas.
We help start your insurance claim, or give you a written estimate if you are paying yourself.
The hood and dash get covered, the old glass is cut free and the frame is cleaned and primed.
New urethane goes down, the windshield is set and centered, and trim, mirror and sensors go back on.
You get a safe drive-away time, the camera is calibrated if needed and the car is left clean.

Three things set a good auto glass service apart in West Melbourne, and they are the three things we build every job around.
Home, office or company yard. In storm season we book mornings or use a garage or carport so the glass stays dry while the urethane sets.
We follow the ANSI/AGRSS 002 auto glass replacement standard for prep, primers and adhesive, and match glass to your exact trim level.
Contractors and service companies can line up several vans or trucks for one visit, with one point of contact for every vehicle.
Cost
The cost of auto glass repair in West Melbourne depends on what broke and what is built into the glass. A chip repair is the simplest job. A windshield with a rain sensor, heated wiper zone, acoustic layer or heads-up display takes more specialized glass, and a forward camera adds a calibration step. Sunroof glass depends on the size of the panel and the vehicle.
Insurance makes the biggest difference. Florida Statute 627.7288 waives the deductible on windshield damage for drivers with comprehensive coverage, so many people pay nothing for a new windshield. Call for a free estimate and we will check your vehicle and your coverage before any work begins.
Quick self-check
Mobile auto glass service in West Melbourne works for almost every car, SUV, pickup and work van. A few jobs belong somewhere else.
Questions
Usually, yes. Under Florida Statute 627.7288, drivers who carry comprehensive coverage do not pay a deductible for windshield damage, so most West Melbourne windshield repairs and replacements cost the driver nothing out of pocket. That rule covers the windshield only. Sunroof, side and rear glass fall under your normal deductible.
A chip repair takes about 30 minutes. A windshield replacement takes about an hour to install, and then the urethane adhesive needs one to three hours before the car is safe to drive, depending on the product, heat and humidity. Sunroof glass usually takes one to two hours.
We come to you. West Melbourne Auto Glass is a mobile service, so the technician works in your driveway, your office lot or your company yard anywhere from Palm Bay to Viera. The address on this site is a service office, not a drop-off shop.
Often it can. A chip smaller than a quarter, or a single crack under about six inches, can usually be sealed with resin if it is not at the edge of the glass or right in front of the driver. Describe the size and location when you call and we will tell you which fix fits.
A small chip outside your line of sight is not an emergency, but it weakens the glass and can spread overnight in Florida heat. The windshield helps hold the roof up in a rollover and backs up the passenger airbag, so a long crack is a safety problem. Florida law also lets officers cite drivers whose view is blocked by damaged glass.
If your vehicle has lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking or adaptive cruise, the camera behind the mirror usually needs to be recalibrated after new glass. A camera aimed even slightly off can react late or steer the wrong way. We check every vehicle for it before the job is booked.
Yes. Fleet and commercial glass is a big part of our work in West Melbourne, where many contractors and service companies park in the industrial areas off I-95. We can schedule several vehicles in one visit at your yard, early in the day before the trucks head out.
We install OEM glass from the vehicle maker or OEE glass built to the same specs, and we tell you which one before the work starts. Vehicles with heads-up displays, rain sensors, heated wiper areas or acoustic glass get glass made for those features.
