Hear From Our Customers
Your windshield cracked and now you’re wondering if your car’s cameras still work. That’s not paranoia—it’s the right question to ask.
When you replace a windshield on a newer vehicle, those front-facing cameras and sensors need recalibration. If they’re off by even one degree, your car could miss a stopped vehicle 50 feet ahead. That’s not a technical detail—that’s your family’s safety.
You get mobile windshield replacement that comes to your driveway in Selden, proper ADAS calibration using OEM procedures, and a lifetime warranty on the work. Your insurance covers most of it. You’re back on the road the same day with safety systems that actually function.
First Class Auto Glass started in 2016, but the experience behind it goes back over 20 years. You’re not dealing with a call center or a technician who just started last month.
When you call, you talk to the owner. When the work gets done, it’s done right the first time. We’re Dinitrol certified and a certified mobile New York State repair shop serving Selden, Suffolk County, and across Long Island.
Over 10,000 windshields later, the approach hasn’t changed: show up on time, do the work properly, and make sure your car is safer when we leave than when we arrived.
You call or text with your vehicle info and insurance details. We handle the claim directly with your insurance company so you’re not stuck on hold or bouncing between adjusters.
We schedule a time that works for you—your home, your office, anywhere in Selden or the surrounding Long Island area. The mobile service means you don’t lose half a day sitting in a shop waiting room.
We remove the damaged glass, install OEM-quality replacement glass, and let the adhesive cure properly. If your vehicle has ADAS—and most 2018+ models do—we calibrate the cameras and sensors using manufacturer specifications. That’s static or dynamic calibration depending on what your car requires.
You get a lifetime warranty on the installation. If anything goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it. The whole process takes a few hours, and you’re covered the same day.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting windshield replacement or repair, but the real value is in what happens after the glass goes in. ADAS calibration isn’t optional anymore—it’s required for your safety systems to work.
Long Island has some of the highest auto insurance rates in New York, with premiums averaging over $3,800 annually for full coverage. Your insurance likely covers windshield work with little to no deductible, but you need to make sure the shop you choose actually performs proper calibration. Some techs skip it or make excuses. We don’t.
Your service includes mobile installation anywhere in Selden and Suffolk County, insurance claims processing, OEM-quality glass, proper adhesive curing time, and full ADAS recalibration if your vehicle requires it. We also handle sunroof repairs and side window replacements.
You’re also getting a Dinitrol certified technician with over 20 years in the industry and a lifetime warranty that actually means something. If you have an issue with the work, you call the same number and talk to the same person who did the job.
If your car was made after 2018 and has a camera mounted behind the rearview mirror, yes. Nearly 9 out of 10 model year 2023 vehicles require ADAS recalibration after windshield replacement.
These systems control automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control. When the windshield comes off, those cameras lose their calibration. Even a slight misalignment makes them unreliable or completely useless.
Some shops skip this step or claim it’s not necessary. That’s dangerous. Your car’s safety features won’t work properly, and you won’t know until it’s too late. Proper calibration costs between $300-$600 on top of glass replacement, but it’s usually covered by insurance. We include it as part of the service—not an upsell.
Most comprehensive auto insurance policies in New York cover windshield replacement with no deductible or a very low one. We work directly with all major insurance companies to process your claim.
Here’s what people don’t realize: when you call the number on your insurance card, you often get automatically routed to Safelite or another corporate partner. You’re not required to use them. You have the right to choose your own shop.
We handle the paperwork and deal with the adjuster so you don’t have to. You provide your policy info, we verify coverage, and we let you know what you’ll owe before we start. In most cases, it’s zero out of pocket for windshield work.
The actual installation takes about an hour. The adhesive needs time to cure properly before you can drive, which adds another hour or two depending on temperature and humidity.
If your vehicle needs ADAS calibration, that adds another 30 minutes to an hour. We’re not rushing through it—your safety systems need to be set up correctly.
Most jobs are completed in 2-3 hours total from start to finish. You can go about your day at home or work while we handle it. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to drive. Same-day service is available for most vehicles in Selden and across Long Island.
If the damage is smaller than a dollar bill and not directly in the driver’s line of sight, it can usually be repaired. Anything larger, or cracks that spread to the edge of the glass, requires full replacement.
Repairs take about 30 minutes and restore the structural integrity of the glass. The damage will still be slightly visible, but it won’t spread. Most insurance companies cover repairs with zero deductible because it’s cheaper than replacement.
Replacement is necessary when the damage is too large, when it obstructs your view, or when the crack compromises the windshield’s strength. We’ll assess the damage and tell you honestly which option makes sense. If repair works, we’ll do that. If it doesn’t, we’ll replace it properly.
We use OEM-quality glass that meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications. That means the glass fits correctly, the thickness is right, and any embedded technology like rain sensors or heating elements works properly.
Some shops push cheaper aftermarket glass that doesn’t fit as well or causes issues with ADAS sensors. You’ll notice wind noise, leaks, or calibration problems down the road. We don’t cut corners on materials because it creates problems you’ll call us about later.
Your insurance company might have a preference, but in New York, you have the right to request OEM-equivalent glass. We make sure what goes in your car matches what came out of the factory. That’s part of the lifetime warranty—if the glass fails due to defect or installation error, we replace it.
Yes, in most cases. We keep common windshields in stock for popular makes and models. If we don’t have yours on the truck, we can usually get it within 24 hours.
Once we have the glass, we schedule a time that works for you. Mobile service means we come to your location in Selden—your home, office, or anywhere in Suffolk County. You don’t need to drive anywhere or sit in a waiting room.
Emergency situations get priority. If your windshield is shattered and you need it fixed immediately, we’ll do everything possible to get you taken care of the same day. Call or text with your vehicle info and we’ll let you know exactly when we can be there.
