Does Heritage Collision replace windshields on all makes and models?

Yes, domestic, import, luxury, and commercial vehicles. We confirm OEM glass availability for your specific vehicle before scheduling.

Do you work with all insurance companies?

Yes, Heritage Collision works with all carriers and does direct billing so you do not have to manage the claim yourself.

Will my insurance cover the cost?

Many Michigan comprehensive policies cover windshield replacement with a very low or zero deductible. Heritage Collision will verify your coverage and handle direct billing.

Can I drive immediately after windshield replacement?

Not immediately. The adhesive needs time to cure, typically about an hour in normal conditions, longer in Michigan cold weather. Heritage Collision will confirm the exact safe drive-away time for your vehicle before you leave.

Does my vehicle need ADAS calibration after windshield replacement?

If your vehicle has a forward facing camera, which includes most vehicles built after 2018, yes. Heritage Collision assesses every vehicle for the presence of cameras and calibrates them when required.

Does it matter if a body shop uses OEM or aftermarket glass?

Yes. OEM glass matches your vehicle's exact factory specification, including camera bracket position. Aftermarket glass can vary, which can affect optical clarity and how accurately your camera calibrates afterward. Heritage Collision will make every effort to get the correct glass as long as it is still available. For some older cars, it may not be available.

How do I know if my windshield can be repaired or needs to be replaced?

A chip smaller than a dollar bill, away from your direct line of sight, and not near the edge of the glass can usually be repaired. Cracks longer than six inches, damage in your sightline, or damage near the edge of the glass generally require full replacement. Heritage Collision can inspect your windshield anytime you want to stop by.

Does Michigan winter affect how my GM vehicle is repaired?

Yes. Road salt and freeze thaw cycling are hard on structural steel repair seams, particularly on trucks and SUVs that see regular winter driving. Heritage Collision will apply corrosion protection as standard procedure, not an add on.

Does a certified repair protect my GM warranty?

Yes. Heritage Collision follows GM's documented procedures and using genuine parts helps preserve manufacturer warranty coverage on the repaired area.

Do you use genuine GM parts?

Yes, for a correct fit, finish, and sensor placement matched to your specific vehicle.
