In most situations once the windshield or window glass is available the actual repair time is less than an hour. Most shops will set appointments and will keep the vehicle in a heated area for an hour after the replacement or repair to ensure all the seals and adhesives are properly dried.

Doing your own auto glass repair is possible, but it is a big undertaking if you are not familiar with the process. Side windows are easiest with removing the door panels and replacing the glass less challenging than trying to replace a windshield on your own.

If you are looking for auto glass repair, you may want to consider contacting the dealership to see if they have any recommendations or if they offer any services in regards to getting the glass repaired. They will most likely offer original glass as was put in by the manufacturer.
