Every cost component broken out. No surprise charges on your bill.
For any Bolt where the total reaches $640–$1,300, your comprehensive coverage almost certainly covers the full job — glass and calibration — with little or no out-of-pocket cost. We handle claims directly with GEICO, State Farm, Progressive, Allstate, Farmers, and USAA. This is especially valuable on the Bolt, where calibration adds significant cost.

GM's documentation requires calibration any time the windshield is removed on any Bolt. That's the official position and we always inform customers of it.
The unique challenge with the Bolt is that many GM dealerships do not have in-house calibration capability for this vehicle. They subcontract to third-party calibration companies, which means a second appointment, additional wait time, and often higher total cost. Some dealers even refer customers to independent shops for this step.
Our advantage: We perform static calibration in-house with our own equipment. Glass replacement and calibration happen in the same visit, at the same location, by the same team. No second appointment. No subcontractor. One visit, everything done.
📋 Using Insurance? Start Your Claim →Full replacement is almost always the better call — especially on an ADAS-equipped EV. Here's when repair is technically possible.
From $260 glass / $640 with calibration · Same-day mobile available
$95–$150 · We'll always tell you if replacement makes more sense
Unlike many vehicles where only newer trims have ADAS, every single Bolt EV and Bolt EUV ever made has GM Safety Package standard. That means every Bolt has a windshield-mounted camera. Injected resin changes the optical properties of the glass — if the chip is within 8 inches of the camera mount, resin fill can cause calibration failure or intermittent ADAS warnings.
The math favors replacement: A chip repair runs $95–$150 with no warranty. A full replacement with calibration through insurance typically costs you nothing. We'll give you an honest assessment and never push you toward the more expensive option unless it's genuinely the right call.
Your VIN confirms Bolt EV vs. EUV, trim, and exact glass part number in under a minute.
The 17-character VIN on your dashboard (driver's side, visible through the windshield) or door jamb tells us everything — Bolt EV vs. EUV, trim level, and exact glass part number. This is critical because the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV use different windshields.
