If you drive in New Orleans, your auto glass takes a beating. Between the road conditions on local streets and highways, flying debris on the interstate, and a climate that pushes existing chips to spread fast, windshield and auto glass damage is one of the most common vehicle issues in the metro area. Star Glass Inc. has been handling auto glass repair and replacement in Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, and the surrounding area for over 30 years — and we know how to get you back on the road quickly.
Auto Glass Services We Provide
We handle the full range of auto glass needs for passenger vehicles, trucks, SUVs, and vans: Windshield repair is available for chips smaller than a quarter and cracks under three inches that are not in the driver’s direct line of sight. A quality repair stops the damage from spreading and restores structural integrity — and it’s significantly less expensive than a full replacement. Windshield replacement is necessary when damage is too large or too centrally located to repair safely. We use OEM-equivalent or OEM glass depending on your vehicle, and all installations are done to manufacturer safety standards. Side window and rear glass replacement covers door glass, quarter glass, and back windows for most vehicle makes and models. ADAS recalibration — many newer vehicles have cameras and sensors mounted to the windshield that require recalibration after replacement. Our Auto Glass Pricing Tool accounts for ADAS so there are no surprises.Louisiana Insurance and Your Auto Glass Claim
Louisiana is not a zero-deductible state for windshield claims, so your out-of-pocket cost depends on your comprehensive coverage deductible. That said, many insurers will waive the deductible for a repair rather than a replacement — it’s cheaper for them too. We work with all major insurance providers and handle the claims coordination on your behalf. If you’re not sure whether to file a claim or pay out of pocket, we can walk you through that decision before you commit.Get Instant Auto Glass Pricing Online

Why Heat Makes This Urgent in New Orleans
A small chip that might stay stable in a moderate climate can spread quickly in a Louisiana summer. Temperatures inside a parked car can exceed 150 degrees, and the thermal expansion and contraction that happens every time your vehicle heats up and cools down puts stress on existing damage. If you’ve been watching a chip and telling yourself you’ll deal with it later — summer is your deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a cracked windshield be repaired? Small chips and short cracks can often be repaired if they meet the right criteria — not in the driver’s line of sight, not at the edge of the glass, and not penetrating both layers. Larger damage requires replacement.
How long does windshield replacement take? Most replacements are completed in one to two hours. We ask that you allow at least an hour of drive-safe time after installation before getting back on the road.
Do you handle insurance claims? Yes. We work directly with your insurance provider to coordinate the claim and handle the paperwork.
