Hear From Our Customers
Your car’s not just sitting in a shop for two days. You’re not driving across town to wait in a lobby. The work happens at your home, your office, or wherever you need it done in East Patchogue.
Windshield replacement takes about an hour. If your car has a front-facing camera, the ADAS calibration happens right after, usually within 45 to 60 minutes. You’re looking at the same morning or afternoon, not multiple appointments.
Your insurance typically covers the full cost of windshield replacement and calibration. We handle the paperwork directly with your provider. You don’t pay out of pocket, and you don’t chase down reimbursements.
The safety systems in your car—forward collision warning, lane departure, automatic braking—only work if the camera is calibrated correctly after a new windshield goes in. Even a millimeter off means those systems might not catch what they’re supposed to catch. That’s not a risk worth taking on Long Island roads.
We started First Class Auto Glass in 2016 after twenty years of watching local shops struggle to keep up with newer vehicles. Cars changed. The technology inside them changed faster. Most places weren’t ready.
You’re not calling a 1-800 number. You’re talking to someone who’s been doing this work since before ADAS was standard, who knows what a 2018 Honda Accord needs versus a 2023 Ford F-150. Over 10,000 windshields replaced and calibrated across Suffolk County, including right here in East Patchogue.
We’re Dinitrol certified, New York State licensed mobile repair shop. Lifetime warranty on the work. If something’s not right, we fix it.
You call or text with your car’s year, make, and model. If you’re going through insurance, we verify that information right away. Most policies cover windshield replacement at 100%, no deductible.
We schedule an appointment, usually same-day or next-day. Our mobile unit comes to you in East Patchogue—your driveway, workplace parking lot, wherever works. The damaged windshield comes out, the new one goes in with high-grade urethane adhesive that cures fast.
If your vehicle has a forward-facing camera, the ADAS calibration happens next. We set up a specialized rig in front of your car. The system runs through its checks, recalibrating the camera to factory specifications. This takes 45 to 60 minutes.
You get documentation for your records and your insurance company. The whole process, start to finish, is typically under two hours. You’re not without your car. You’re not making a second trip.

Windshield replacement covers the glass itself, installation, and calibration if your car has camera-based safety systems. That’s most vehicles 2018 and newer. About 80% of cars on the road in East Patchogue right now have some form of ADAS.
We handle sunroof repairs and replacements the same way—mobile, on-site. Side window and rear window work too. If it’s glass on your vehicle and it’s broken, we fix or replace it where you are.
Our calibration equipment is mobile. It doesn’t require a shop. Static calibration happens right in your driveway using the same technology dealerships use. Your car’s computer gets reset to recognize the new windshield’s position. The camera recalibrates to the correct angle.
We file insurance claims directly. You don’t front the cost and wait for reimbursement. The work is billed straight to your provider. Geico, Progressive, State Farm, Allstate—we handle it all the same way.
Most comprehensive auto insurance policies in New York cover windshield replacement at 100% with no deductible. That includes the cost of the glass, installation, and ADAS calibration if your vehicle requires it.
ADAS calibration is considered part of the repair, not an add-on. If your car has a forward-facing camera and the windshield gets replaced, the calibration has to happen for the repair to be complete. Insurance companies understand this. They cover it.
You don’t pay upfront and file for reimbursement. We process the claim directly with your provider. You might need to verify your policy number and provide some basic vehicle information, but the billing happens between us and the insurance company.
Windshield replacement takes about an hour. We remove the old glass, prep the frame, install the new windshield, and let the adhesive set enough for the next step.
ADAS calibration adds another 45 to 60 minutes. We position the equipment in front of your vehicle. The system runs through its calibration sequence, adjusting the camera to recognize lane markings, vehicle distance, and other inputs it needs to function.
Total time is usually under two hours for both. If you’re home, you can go inside. If you’re at work, you’re still at work. The service is mobile, so you’re not losing half a day sitting in a waiting room.
Your car’s safety systems stop working correctly. Forward collision warning might not alert you in time. Automatic emergency braking might not engage when it should. Lane departure warnings could be off by several inches.
The camera behind your windshield is calibrated to a very specific angle. When the windshield comes off and a new one goes on, that angle changes—sometimes by just a millimeter or two. That’s enough to throw off the entire system.
New York doesn’t require calibration by law, but vehicle manufacturers do. If you’re in an accident and your ADAS wasn’t calibrated after a windshield replacement, that’s a liability issue. Insurance companies know this. They cover calibration because it’s not optional if the system is going to work.
Yes. Our mobile unit comes to your location in East Patchogue with everything needed for the full job. Windshield replacement and ADAS calibration both happen on-site.
The only requirement is a flat surface where your car can sit still for about two hours. A driveway works. A parking lot works. Our calibration equipment is portable and sets up in front of your vehicle.
You don’t need to be home the whole time, but someone does need to be there at the start to hand over keys and at the end to get the keys back and review the work. Most people just go about their day while we handle the service.
If you’re going through insurance, you’re typically looking at zero out-of-pocket cost. Comprehensive policies in New York usually cover windshield replacement and calibration with no deductible.
Without insurance, cost depends on your vehicle. A standard windshield replacement runs a few hundred dollars. ADAS calibration adds to that, usually another $150 to $300 depending on the system. Luxury vehicles or cars with more complex camera arrays cost more.
You get a quote before any work starts. No surprises. If insurance is covering it, the price is already set between us and your provider. If you’re paying directly, you know the number upfront.
Time and convenience. You don’t drive anywhere. You don’t wait in a lobby. The work comes to you in East Patchogue, and it gets done while you’re doing something else.
The quality of work is identical. Same materials, same calibration equipment, same certifications. Mobile service isn’t a shortcut. It’s the same process, just done at your location instead of a shop bay.
For ADAS calibration, mobile service actually makes more sense. The equipment is portable. It doesn’t need a building. Static calibration happens in a driveway just as accurately as it happens in a shop. You’re not sacrificing anything by having it done on-site.
