Auto Paint Refinishing

At Highlands Auto Center, our repair paint and refinishing services are designed to restore the pristine look of your vehicle with precision and care. When it comes to repairing paint and refinishing on cars, the process begins with meticulous surface preparation. This includes thoroughly cleaning and sanding the damaged area to ensure a flawless base for the new paint. High-quality primers are then applied to guarantee strong adhesion and block out any old stains, providing a consistent foundation.

The actual painting process involves our skilled technicians expertly matching your car's original color using advanced color-matching technology, applying multiple layers to achieve perfect coverage and hue. A durable clear coat is added to protect the new paint job from scratches and UV rays, enhancing the paint's gloss and longevity. Finally, the surface is polished to a high shine, ensuring a smooth and gleaming finish.

Windshield Replacement FAQs

How much does it cost to replace a windshield?

The cost of replacing a windshield can vary depending on many factors, including the type of vehicle, the location of the damage and who is performing the work.

On average, a windshield replacement can cost between $200 and $400. However, the cost can be higher depending on the factors mentioned above.

Comprehensive coverage typically covers windshield replacement, but there may be a deductible. Some insurance companies also offer optional full glass coverage, which can waive the entire cost of windshield replacement.

What are the dos and don'ts after windshield replacement?

To achieve optimal results after windshield replacement, it's essential to allow the adhesive to properly cure by waiting at least an hour before driving. To reduce pressure, slightly open a window for the first couple of days. It's also advisable to keep the retention tape on and avoid exposing the windshield to extreme temperatures or high-pressure washing. Following these guidelines, along with any specific instructions from the windshield replacement technician, will ensure the best outcome.

Do you need to calibrate windshield cameras and laser sensors after windshield replacement?

Windshield replacement extends beyond merely fitting the new glass; it requires precise calibration, especially if your vehicle is equipped with cameras and safety features. While an auto glass installer can replace the glass and remount cameras, professional calibration is crucial to ensure that your vehicle's safety systems function correctly. This step is vital for maintaining the integrity and safety of your vehicle's operation.
