Hear From Our Customers
Your car sits in your driveway or workplace parking lot. You’re not losing half a day sitting in a shop waiting room or arranging rides. We do the work where you need it, when you need it.
Most windshield repairs take 30 to 45 minutes. Replacements are usually wrapped up in 60 to 90 minutes. If your car has a front-facing camera, we handle the ADAS calibration right there too—no second trip to a dealer, no extra appointment to coordinate.
You’re not wondering if your lane departure warning or automatic braking will work correctly after the glass goes in. We bring the calibration equipment with us. Your safety systems get restored to factory specs before you drive off.
Same-day and next-day appointments are available most days, including weekends. If you’re dealing with a crack that’s spreading or a shattered window, you’re not waiting until next week to get it handled.
First Class Auto Glass has been serving Elmont, Nassau County, and the surrounding Long Island area since 2016. The owner handles your call, schedules your appointment, and shows up to do the work. You’re not passed through three departments or dealing with someone reading from a script.
We’ve replaced or repaired over 10,000 windshields and windows. Every job comes with a lifetime warranty. Our work is Dinitrol certified and backed by New York State mobile repair shop certification.
Elmont sits right off the Southern State Parkway and near the Cross Island, which means plenty of highway driving and plenty of rock chips. Our mobile service covers your home, your office, or wherever your car is parked across Nassau County and into Queens. You don’t drive to the shop—we drive to you.
You call or text with your car’s year, make, and model. You’ll get a quote on the spot—no waiting for callbacks or estimates that change later. If you’re going through insurance, we handle the claim directly with your provider. New York’s zero-deductible glass law usually means you pay nothing out of pocket.
An appointment gets scheduled around your availability. We show up with the glass, tools, and calibration equipment already loaded. The damaged glass comes out, the new windshield goes in with OEM-quality materials and proper adhesive cure time.
If your car has a forward-facing camera for lane assist, collision warning, or automatic braking, we handle the ADAS calibration next. We recalibrate the system to manufacturer standards right there on-site. Most people don’t realize this step is required after windshield replacement—but nearly 9 out of 10 new cars need it.
You get a lifetime warranty on the installation. If anything goes wrong with the seal, the glass, or the workmanship, we fix it at no cost. The whole process is designed so you’re not rearranging your day or making multiple stops.

We cover windshield replacement, windshield repair for chips and small cracks, side window replacement, back glass replacement, and sunroof repair. If it’s glass on your vehicle, we handle it.
ADAS calibration is included when your car has camera-based safety systems. This isn’t an upsell—it’s a required part of the job. Without recalibration, your lane departure warning might trigger late, your automatic braking might not engage, or your adaptive cruise control could malfunction. Dealerships charge up to $1,200 for this service alone. We build it into our mobile service at a fraction of that cost.
In Elmont and across Nassau County, we process insurance claims directly. Most comprehensive policies cover auto glass repair and replacement, and New York State law allows for zero-deductible glass claims in many cases. We handle the paperwork so you’re not filing forms or waiting on reimbursement checks.
Our mobile service operates across Elmont, Floral Park, Franklin Square, West Hempstead, and throughout Nassau County and Queens. Appointments are available seven days a week. If you need emergency service for a smashed window or a windshield that’s unsafe to drive with, same-day service is usually possible.
If your car has a camera mounted behind the rearview mirror or near the windshield, yes. That camera controls systems like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and collision alerts. When the windshield comes off, the camera’s alignment shifts—even by a millimeter or two.
Recalibration resets the camera to the manufacturer’s exact specifications. Without it, those safety features might not work when you need them. Some systems will throw a dashboard warning light. Others won’t alert you at all, but they’ll fail to respond correctly in an emergency.
Nearly every car from model year 2018 and newer has at least one ADAS feature. If you’re not sure whether your vehicle needs calibration, the year, make, and model will tell the story. It’s not optional—it’s part of restoring your car to safe driving condition after the glass is replaced.
Most windshield replacements take between 60 and 90 minutes from start to finish. That includes removing the old glass, prepping the frame, installing the new windshield, and allowing the adhesive to set properly. If your car requires ADAS calibration, add another 30 to 45 minutes for that process.
Windshield repairs for chips or small cracks are faster—usually 30 to 45 minutes. The resin needs time to cure under UV light, but you’re not waiting around for hours.
Our mobile service means the work happens at your location. You’re not sitting in a waiting room or arranging a ride. Most people in Elmont schedule service at their home in the morning or at their workplace during the day. We get the job done while you’re handling other things, and your car is ready to drive when we finish.
Most comprehensive auto insurance policies cover windshield replacement and repair. New York State has a zero-deductible law for glass claims, which means many drivers pay nothing out of pocket—even if their normal comprehensive deductible is $500 or $1,000.
We file the insurance claim directly with your provider. You don’t pay upfront and wait for reimbursement. The work is approved, completed, and billed straight to the insurance company. If there’s any cost-sharing or deductible that applies to your specific policy, you’ll know before the work starts.
ADAS calibration is also covered under most comprehensive policies when it’s required as part of the windshield replacement. Some insurance companies try to separate it as an additional service, but it’s a necessary part of the repair. We handle the claim so you’re not arguing with adjusters or paying out of pocket for something your policy should cover.
Chips smaller than a quarter can usually be repaired if they’re not directly in the driver’s line of sight. Cracks shorter than three inches also qualify for repair in most cases. Anything larger, anything that’s spiderwebbed, or any damage that’s spread to the edge of the glass typically requires full replacement.
Repairs work by injecting a clear resin into the damaged area. The resin bonds with the glass and stops the chip or crack from spreading. It’s not invisible, but it’s much less noticeable than the original damage. The structural integrity of the windshield gets restored, and you avoid the cost and time of a full replacement.
If the damage is in your direct sightline or if it’s already started to spiderweb across the glass, repair won’t cut it. The windshield needs to come out. Trying to repair glass that’s too far gone just delays the inevitable and puts you at risk if the windshield fails during an accident or even just from road vibration.
Mobile service means we come to your home, office, or wherever your car is parked in Elmont or Nassau County. You don’t lose time driving to a shop, sitting in a waiting room, or figuring out a ride. The work happens on your schedule, at your location.
The equipment is the same. The glass quality is the same. The ADAS calibration tools are the same. The only difference is convenience. Most people in Elmont are juggling work, family, and a dozen other things. Mobile service removes the logistical headache of getting your car to a shop and picking it up later.
Some shops can’t perform ADAS calibration on-site and send you to a dealership for a second appointment. Our mobile service with calibration capability handles everything in one visit. We replace your windshield and recalibrate your safety systems without a follow-up trip or additional coordination.
Most modern adhesives we use in windshield installation allow you to drive within one to two hours after the work is finished. The adhesive needs time to cure enough to hold the glass securely, but you’re not waiting overnight or for a full 24 hours like older methods required.
We’ll give you a specific safe-to-drive time based on the temperature, humidity, and adhesive used. In most cases, if we replace your windshield in the morning, you can drive by early afternoon. If it’s done in the afternoon, you’re usually good to go by evening.
You’ll want to avoid car washes, high-speed driving, or slamming doors for the first 24 hours. The adhesive continues to strengthen over that period. After the first day, your windshield is fully cured and ready for normal use. Our lifetime warranty covers the installation from that point forward, so if anything goes wrong with the seal or the glass, we fix it at no cost.
