Factors That Affect Your Windshield Cost
Vehicle Year, Make & Model
The single biggest factor. A Honda Civic windshield runs $290-$380, while a Tesla Model Y costs $900-$1,250. Larger glass, curved designs, and specialized coatings all increase cost.
Glass Type (OEM vs. Aftermarket)
OEM glass matches factory specs exactly. OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) offers the same quality at about 20% less. Aftermarket saves up to 40% but may not work with ADAS cameras.
ADAS Calibration Requirements
If your vehicle has lane departure warning, automatic braking, or adaptive cruise control, the windshield-mounted camera must be recalibrated after replacement. This adds $150-$500 to the total.
Insurance Coverage
Colorado law (CRS 10-4-613) requires insurers to offer zero-deductible glass coverage. Many comprehensive policies include it. If you have it, your out-of-pocket cost may be $0.
Geographic Location
Colorado Front Range prices run 5-10% above the national average. Higher demand from I-25 and I-70 gravel exposure drives up pricing in the Denver metro area.
Mobile vs. Shop Service
Good news: mobile windshield replacement usually costs the same as in-shop service. Most providers include mobile service at no extra charge, saving you time without added cost.

New Windshield Cost in Colorado
Denver Metro Pricing
The average windshield replacement in Denver costs $307 for standard vehicles without ADAS calibration. This is about 8% above the national average of $284. The Denver metro area sees higher windshield demand due to construction debris on I-25, gravel trucks on I-70, and Colorado’s infamous hail seasons.
Why Colorado Costs More
- Highway debris: I-25 construction and I-70 mountain corridor gravel are the top causes of windshield damage along the Front Range
- Temperature swings: Denver regularly sees 60-80 degree daily temperature changes in spring and fall, causing chips to spread into cracks rapidly
- UV exposure: At 5,280 feet elevation, UV radiation is 15-20% stronger than at sea level, weakening glass over time
- Hail season: Colorado averages 7-8 significant hail events per year along the Front Range, spiking demand from May through August
Colorado Insurance Advantage
Colorado law (CRS 10-4-613) requires auto insurers to offer zero-deductible glass coverage. Many comprehensive policies include this by default. If you have it, your windshield replacement costs $0 out of pocket regardless of the vehicle type.

How to Get the Best Price on a New Windshield
Check your insurance first
Call the number on your insurance card and ask: "Do I have zero-deductible glass coverage?" In Colorado, there's a good chance you do. If covered, your replacement is $0 out of pocket.
Get 2-3 quotes and compare what's included
Not all quotes include the same things. Ask each provider: Does this include ADAS calibration? OEM or aftermarket glass? Is mobile service extra? The lowest quote isn't always the best deal if calibration is billed separately.
Ask about ADAS calibration upfront
Some shops quote low on the glass, then add $200-$400 for calibration later. If your vehicle is 2018 or newer, ask explicitly: "Does your price include ADAS camera calibration?"
Consider mobile service
Mobile windshield replacement is typically the same price as in-shop service. A technician comes to your home or office, saving you 2-3 hours of your day. Most providers include this at no extra charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new windshield cost on average?
For most passenger vehicles, a new windshield costs between $250 and $600 for the glass and installation. With ADAS calibration (required on many 2018+ vehicles), total cost ranges from $400 to $1,100. Luxury and electric vehicles can run $500-$1,900+.
Does insurance cover windshield replacement in Colorado?
Colorado law (CRS 10-4-613) requires insurers to offer zero-deductible glass coverage. If you elected comprehensive coverage with this option (many policies include it by default), your replacement may be fully covered at $0 out of pocket. Chip repairs are almost always covered at $0.
Why do Tesla windshields cost so much more?
Tesla windshields cost $800-$1,600 because they use specialized acoustic glass, have large curved surfaces, and always require ADAS calibration. Tesla also restricts which shops can perform the calibration, limiting competition.
What is the difference between OEM and aftermarket windshields?
OEM glass is made by the same manufacturer as your factory windshield. It matches exactly but costs more. OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) meets identical safety standards at about 20% less. Aftermarket glass is cheapest (up to 40% less) but may not be compatible with ADAS cameras.
How long does windshield replacement take?
Most replacements take 1-2 hours. Mobile technicians can do it at your home or office. After installation, wait at least 1 hour before driving to allow the urethane adhesive to cure properly.
Does a new windshield really cost $0 with insurance?
If you have comprehensive insurance with zero-deductible glass coverage in Colorado, yes. Your insurance pays the full cost, and glass-only claims typically don't raise your premium. Call your insurer to confirm your coverage.
