Glass insurance claims, minus the folklore
Florida glass coverage is genuinely unusual — which is why so much of what drivers have heard about it is half right.
- Mobile only, by design — the van comes to your driveway, office or job site anywhere in our seven-county footprint
- Same-day scheduling when your glass is in stock — most common windshields are
- Lifetime workmanship warranty against water leaks and air noise, defined in full further down this page
- Insurance claims handled — we set up the claim and bill your carrier directly, and Florida law waives the windshield deductible under comprehensive cover
You're all set, there.
We've got your request. A Maximum Glass tech will call you shortly to confirm the glass, your coverage and a time that works.
What the statute actually says
Florida Statute 627.7288 is one sentence long once you strip the lawyering: if a private passenger vehicle carries comprehensive coverage, the insurer cannot apply a deductible to windshield repair or replacement. Not door glass, not back glass, not liability-only policies — the windshield, under comprehensive. Inside that boundary, your out-of-pocket is genuinely zero and the claim does not carry a deductible to "offset," which is why any shop offering to offset one is describing a transaction that should not exist.
What changed in 2023
Florida's SB 1002 rewired the glass-claim industry. Shops can no longer offer gift cards, cash or anything of value to induce a glass claim, and assignment of benefits — signing your claim over to the shop — is finished for auto glass. What remains is the ordinary, legitimate path: you authorize the work, we set up the claim with your carrier and bill them directly, and you see everything that is filed in your name.
How a claim runs at this shop
- You tell us the vehicle, the damage and your carrier on the form or the phone
- We confirm what your coverage pays before any work is booked — including when the honest answer is that cash is cheaper
- The claim is set up with you on the line, not signed away
- We bill the carrier directly; windshield-under-comprehensive means no deductible reaches you
Will a glass claim raise my rates?
Rate-setting belongs to your carrier, not to us, and any shop promising "it never affects your premium" is promising something it does not control. What we can say: comprehensive glass claims are not fault claims, and your carrier can explain its own policy in one phone call. We would rather send you to the accurate answer than sell you a comfortable one.
Every piece of glass on the vehicle
One crew, one visit: windshields, chips, door and back glass, and the camera recalibration that modern windshields require.
Windshield replacement
Cracked or shattered glass out, new glass in, at your driveway or workplace — with the safe drive-away time in writing.
See windshield replacement →Chip & crack repair
Resin injection that stops a chip becoming a crack — a fraction of the cost of new glass, done at your kerb.
See chip repair →Door & side windows
Smashed side glass replaced, the door cavity vacuumed shard-free, and the window running its full travel again.
See window replacement →Back glass
Rear windows replaced with defroster lines reconnected and the cargo area cleared of every pellet of glass.
See back glass →ADAS recalibration
Lane-keep and emergency-braking cameras recalibrated after glass work, so the safety systems aim true.
See ADAS calibration →Mobile service
Home, office, gym or roadside — the van is the shop, and it parks where your day already is.
How mobile works →Three steps, no shop visit
Tell us what broke
Send the form or call. Your VIN or plate gets us the exact glass for your vehicle, including whether it carries a camera, rain sensor or heating element.
We check your coverage first
Before anyone is dispatched we confirm what your policy covers and what your deductible actually is, so the price you hear is the price you pay. No claim is filed until you say go.
We come to you
Your driveway, your office lot, your job site — at no extra charge. We fit the glass, recalibrate the camera if there is one, and tell you when it's safe to drive.
What Florida drivers actually pay for auto glass
Florida's glass rules are unusual, and half of what customers have heard about them is out of date. Here is the current version, statutes named.
The windshield deductible rule is real — and specific
Florida Statute 627.7288 says that if you carry comprehensive coverage on a private passenger vehicle, your insurer cannot apply a deductible to windshield repair or replacement. That is the insurer's obligation, not a shop discount. It covers the windshield only — not door, vent, quarter or back glass — and it does not apply if you carry liability-only cover.
Door and back glass work differently
Every other piece of glass on the vehicle falls under your normal comprehensive deductible. If the deductible is higher than the cost of the work, paying cash is simply cheaper — we will tell you which side of that line your job lands on before anything is booked.
The gift-card pitch is now illegal here
Florida's 2023 auto glass law (SB 1002) prohibits offering gift cards, cash or any incentive in exchange for a windshield insurance claim, and ended assignment-of-benefits for glass work. A shop still making that offer is telling you something about how it operates. We do not, and never did.
No comprehensive cover? That is common
Plenty of South Florida drivers carry liability only. You get the same visit, the same glass options quoted for your exact VIN, and a written figure before we book — nothing is priced on this site because no honest number exists before we know the vehicle and the glass.
Maximum Glass Corp is an independent shop. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or preferred by any insurance carrier; we bill carriers directly as a service to our customers.

What customers say
After calling around to several companies around south Florida, I finally got in touch with Juan. He made the process simple and easy all the way through from the second I got on the phone. I was able to set myself up on a payment plan with Afterpay financing and he was the only one who offered it!! Customer service A+ Jesus showed up prompt on time when he said he would and replaced the glass with lightning speed. I couldn’t believe how easy he made it look. I would definitely recommend Maximum Glass to anyone who needs windshield repair or replacement.
Maximum Glass exceeded my expectations. They were fast, reliable, and extremely pleasant to work with. The service was clean and professional from start to finish, and the quote they gave me was exactly what I paid — no runaround, no surprises. Everything was well thought out and handled efficiently. If you want straightforward, honest, and professional service, I highly recommend Maximum Glass.
Jesus was incredible, very efficient, quick, professional, and he provided me great feedback and steps on how to proceed. He removed the glass, and installed a new one while still talking me through what he was going to do, and what needed to be done. I would recommend 100% I called this morning at 8:30am, and by 10:30 he was here, it was all done by noon! AMAZING!!

What the warranty actually covers
"Lifetime warranty" is meaningless unless somebody writes down what it includes. Here's ours.
Covered, for as long as you own the vehicle
- Water leaks caused by our installation
- Wind noise caused by our installation
- Moulding and trim failures from our fitting
- Workmanship defects of any kind on our install
Not covered — and we'd rather say so up front
- New impact damage — a fresh rock is a fresh job
- Stress cracks spreading from damage that predates our work
- Defects in the glass itself, which carry the manufacturer's warranty
- Damage from a later collision or a break-in
Frequently asked
Florida lets you choose your repair shop. Carriers may steer toward network vendors, and the steering can be persistent, but the choice of who touches your car is yours. We work with all major carriers' claim processes daily — independent of all of them.
We set it up together, typically in one call with the carrier while you are on the line to authorize. Since 2023 Florida law it must work that way — no more signing benefits over — and honestly, it was always the cleaner arrangement.
For windshield repair or replacement under active comprehensive coverage on a private passenger vehicle: no deductible, billed direct to the carrier. For any other glass, your normal deductible applies and we quote the cash alternative beside it.
