Frequently Asked Questions

 If your windshield or vehicle glass is damaged, contact Johnson's Glass & More as soon as possible. Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the damage to extreme temperature changes, as cracks can spread quickly. Our team at Johnsons Glass can assess whether repair or replacement is the safest option and assist with insurance claims if needed. 

 No. Washington State law allows you to choose any licensed repair facility for your auto glass repair or replacement. While insurance companies may suggest preferred providers, the final decision is always yours.

 Every situation is different, but many rock chips about the size of a quarter and cracks up to a few inches long can often be safely repaired.
