Folks, I don’t even remember the last time I had to go down to Avenue Glass but I do remember the service I received every time. This is a top drawer operation and this was a long overdue review I owed this business.

William Banasch

Fantastic experience, a rare occurrence in this current Vancouver climate. Efficient, well done, and reasonably priced. I will for sure be sending everyone I know to Avenue Auto Glass.

Andrew Lewis-Nicholson

Thanks Salim and Team. Great experience with you today – fast, professional, and extremely helpful with insurance/questions!

Paulina Cikatricis

I’ve now come to Avenue Auto Glass twice to get rock chips in my windshield repaired and the service was phenomenal both times. Salim and his team are so kind and good at what they do. Everything always goes very smoothly. Highly recommend Avenue!

Carly Peters

I have been to Avenue Auto Glass twice, for a rear window replacement and a window regulator replacement, and I have had a great experience both times. Both technicians and office staff are friendly, eager to help, and have done excellent work. I definitely recommend!!

Sherese Johnson

Spencer Taft

Great, easy, fast, super friendly would buy all glass products here again

Scott Rehmus

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Gave quote over the phone for a back glass on older model Mazda. Surprisingly had glass in stock at reasonable price. Made space for me same day and then completed the job in just 2.5 hours. Professional, friendly, and went above-and-beyond by helping charge my completely dead car battery! While I hope to not need their services again, I would go back to them in a heartbeat.

Windshield Replacement Experts

Vancouver's Trusted Windshield Replacement Specialists

Most drivers think of a windshield as a simple piece of glass. In reality, it provides up to 30% of your vehicle’s structural rigidity, acts as a backstop for your passenger-side airbag, and in modern vehicles houses cameras and sensors that control automatic braking, lane keeping, and adaptive cruise control.

A poorly replaced windshield — installed with the wrong adhesive, incorrect cure time, or misaligned frame — can fail in a collision, allowing the roof to collapse or the airbag to deploy incorrectly. This is why installation quality matters far more than price.

At Avenue Auto Glass, every replacement follows Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) standards using manufacturer-approved urethane adhesive, proper cure protocols, and thorough post-installation leak and electronics testing.

Common causes of windshield damage in BC

Rock chips from gravel trucks and debris on Highway 1, 99, and the Sea-to-Sky
Chips left unrepaired that spread into full cracks overnight in cold weather
Rapid temperature swings — defroster heat on a cold windshield
Vandalism and attempted break-ins
Hail damage during Lower Mainland spring and fall storms
Incorrect wiper blade use on ice — scoring the glass surface

Act before a chip becomes a replacement

A chip smaller than a loonie can usually be repaired in 45 minutes for little to no cost. Once it spreads past 3 inches (which can happen in one cold morning) full replacement is required. Call us the moment you notice damage.

How It Works

Our Windshield Replacement Process

Five careful steps from first call to safe drive-away. Most jobs finished the same day you bring your vehicle in.

Assessment & Quote

Chip or crack evaluated. We confirm repair vs. replacement and provide a free quote — by phone, photo, or in person.

Glass Sourcing & ICBC Claim

OEM-match glass sourced. If you have ICBC comprehensive coverage, we open your glass claim directly at our shop.

Old Glass Removed

Damaged windshield carefully removed. Frame inspected for rust, damage, or debris that could compromise the new seal.

Precision Installation

New glass set with OEM-grade urethane adhesive. Properly aligned and sealed. Cure time respected before testing.

Modern Vehicle Technology

ADAS Recalibration After Windshield Replacement

Most vehicles manufactured after 2016 have at least one camera or sensor mounted to or near the windshield. These Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) control automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and pedestrian detection.

When a windshield is replaced, the camera’s mounting angle and field of view changes — even fractionally. This small shift can cause ADAS to misread road conditions, fail to detect pedestrians, or trigger false alerts. Recalibration after replacement is a safety requirement — not optional.

Avenue Auto Glass performs both static and dynamic ADAS calibration in-house using manufacturer-approved equipment. We’ll confirm upfront whether your vehicle requires calibration and include it as part of your ICBC claim where applicable.

Vehicles commonly requiring ADAS calibration

Toyota & Lexus — Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) cameras
Honda & Acura — Honda Sensing suite
Subaru — EyeSight stereo camera system
Ford & Lincoln — Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Tesla — Autopilot forward-facing camera
Mercedes-Benz — Distronic Plus & Active Brake Assist
Hyundai & Kia — Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
BMW — Lane Departure Warning & Front Camera Suite

Don't see your vehicle? Call us, we calibrate ADAS on virtually all makes and models available in Canada.

Why Avenue Auto Glass

What Makes Our Windshield Replacement Different

We’ve built Vancouver’s most trusted auto glass shop on one principle: do the job right the first time.

High Quality Laminated Glass

We only install glass that meets or exceeds original equipment standards for thickness, clarity, UV coating, and acoustic performance. No cheap imports that compromise visibility or safety.

ADAS Camera Recalibration

Vehicles with lane departure warning, automatic braking, or adaptive cruise control require ADAS recalibration after windshield replacement. We perform this in-house — no second shop visit needed.

ICBC Repair Network — Fully Approved

Pickup truck back glass includes both fixed rear glass and sliding rear window configurations. We replace both types, including popular sliding-glass models on Ford, Chevrolet, RAM, and Toyota trucks.

Safe Drive-Away Time Respected

After windshield replacement, adhesive requires curing time before it’s safe to drive. We follow manufacturer-specified safe drive-away times (typically 1–2 hours) — we never rush this critical step.

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty

Every windshield replacement comes backed by our lifetime warranty against installation defects — including leaks, wind noise, and seal failures. If it’s not right, we fix it free.

Courtesy Cars & Mobile Service
