Auto glass repair and replacement — windshield, side and rear windows
Windshield replacement after a crack spread in the frost, a stone chip repair or a new side window instead of a broken one. To respond to an order, technicians need the car model, the glass options and the size of the damage. Or choose a technician yourself — by prices and client reviews.
Auto glass technicians
How much windshield replacement costs
What affects the price
Glass options
Heating, a rain sensor, a driver-assistance camera, a head-up display or acoustic glass: for one car model these are different versions of the glass at different prices.
Original glass or aftermarket
Glass with the carmaker's logo is usually more expensive. Aftermarket glass from different factories varies in quality, so ask which maker's glass will be fitted.
Camera calibration
If a driver-assistance camera sits on the windshield, it is calibrated after the replacement. This is a separate job, and not every shop has the equipment for it.
Moldings, clips and adhesive
A new molding, mounting clips and polyurethane adhesive may be included in the cost of installation or appear on the bill as separate items.
Size of the chip or crack
Chip repair is usually charged per chip and crack repair by length. A crack that is too long can no longer be repaired: the glass has to be replaced.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose an auto glass technician
- 1
How the glass will be matched
Ask whether the technician matches the glass by the VIN or by the marking in the corner of the old one: that way the new glass has the same options and mounts.
- 2
When you can drive
Ask how many hours after installation you can get behind the wheel: the adhesive has to set, or the glass may shift or let water in.
- 3
The frame under the old glass
When the old glass comes out, ask to see the window frame: rust on it is better treated before installation than hidden under the new glass.
- 4
What to expect from chip repair
Repair should keep the chip from turning into a crack, but a mark usually stays visible. Ask the technician how your particular chip will look after the repair.
- 5
Warranty on the installation
Ask whether the technician gives a warranty on the installation and what they will do if moisture appears in the cabin after rain or a molding whistles at speed.
What to put in the order
Make, model, year and body type
Which glass is damaged — windshield, side or rear — and how: a chip, a crack or shattered
The size of the chip or length of the crack, and whether it is in the driver's line of sight
Glass options: heating, rain sensor, driver-assistance camera, head-up display
Whether you need original glass or aftermarket will do
Whether you will come to the shop or need a mobile service — then the district and where the car will stand: a garage, a parking lot or outdoors
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
