OEM vs. Aftermarket Protection, Tint and Add-Ons: Dealer Glass or OEE
Compare OEM (dealer-brand) and aftermarket (OEE) windshield for protection, tint and add-ons — prices, fit, ADAS recalibration, and warranty. Pick your year, make, and model to see real NAGS windshield options for your exact make and model, side by side.
OEM vs. aftermarket windshield at a glance
| Compare | OEM (dealer brand) | Aftermarket (OEE) |
|---|---|---|
| Who makes it | The same glass supplier your vehicle manufacturer used on the factory line (dealer brand, e.g. Carlite or Pilkington). | Independent OEE manufacturers that build to the same NAGS part specifications as the original. |
| Fit & finish | Exact factory match — same dimensions, tint shade, and moldings as the glass your vehicle shipped with. | Same certified dimensions; minor cosmetic differences (tint shade, no factory logo) are possible. |
| Safety & ADAS | Meets the same DOT/FMVSS safety standards as factory glass and is fully compatible with your camera and sensors. | Meets the same DOT/FMVSS safety standards and works with ADAS-equipped vehicles — we recalibrate to factory spec after either install. |
| Typical cost | The higher-priced option — dealer-brand glass carries the original supplier premium. | The value option — usually noticeably lower cost for the same guaranteed fit. |
| Insurance & leases | Often preferred or required for leased vehicles and some insurance claims. | Widely accepted by insurers; we confirm your carrier covers it in your quote. |
| Availability | Usually next-day sourcing from the dealer catalog. | Widest stock — often the fastest turnaround. |
| Warranty | Lifetime workmanship warranty. | Lifetime workmanship warranty. |
| Best for | Newer or leased vehicles, insurance claims, and exact factory appearance. | Getting the same guaranteed fit and safety at the best cash price. |
Not sure which to pick? Most cash customers choose aftermarket for the value; OEM is the safe call for leases and insurance claims. Either way, we'll show you live options and exact pricing for your vehicle below — both carry the same lifetime warranty.

How auto glass insurance claims work
Comprehensive car insurance typically pays for protection, tint and add-ons — and we handle the entire claim for you. Here's exactly what happens, step by step.
Step 1: Check your coverage
Auto glass is covered under the comprehensive portion of your policy — not collision. Many Washington policies include a $0 or reduced glass deductible, and most insurers waive the deductible entirely for chip repair. Have your policy or insurance card handy and we can confirm what applies.
Step 2: We file the claim for you
You never have to call your insurance company or fill out forms. We verify your coverage, open the claim directly with your insurer, and handle all the paperwork — Washington law lets you choose your own glass shop, so no one can steer you elsewhere.
Step 3: Insurance pays us directly
Once the claim is approved, your insurer pays us for the job. You only pay your glass deductible (if any) at the time of service. If your deductible is higher than our cash price, we’ll show you both numbers so you can pick the cheaper route.
Step 4: We come to you
After approval, we schedule mobile service at your home or workplace. The whole process — claim to new glass — usually happens within a few days, and every install carries our lifetime workmanship warranty.
How direct billing works — you never front the money
You pay nothing up front — no deposit, no card on file, no claim forms to fill out.
We bill your insurance carrier (or their claims administrator) directly for the full job.
You only pay your glass deductible at the time of service — and only if your policy has one.
If the claim is somehow denied after install, we sort it out with your carrier — never a surprise bill to you.
Cash vs. insurance — we show you both
If your glass deductible is higher than our cash price, paying cash costs less — and a claim isn't always worth it. We'll give you the exact cash price and your claim cost side by side before you choose.
