Why is the Civic windshield more expensive than a standard one?
Most 2018 and newer Honda Civics have Honda Sensing, which uses a forward-facing camera mounted on the windshield. After replacement, that camera usually needs recalibration. Recalibration is estimated at $250 to $400 on top of labor of about $150 to $250.
What should I do this week if my Civic windshield is cracked?
Large hail is a main hazard in the Kansas City region, and hail can break or worsen windshield damage. Get the crack inspected quickly rather than waiting. Call (816) 667-6157 to request a free referral to a local pro.
What should I check when hiring a windshield installer?
Confirm the installer is qualified to perform auto glass work and ADAS recalibration. Ask for proof of insurance and relevant certifications. Ask the quote to list glass, labor, and calibration as separate line items.
What to do next
- Confirm your Civic has Honda Sensing, which usually means ADAS camera recalibration is needed after replacement.
- Ask the quote to show glass, labor (about $150 to $250), and calibration (about $250 to $400) as separate line items.
- Ask the pro for proof of insurance and certifications, such as Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) certification, before booking.
- Ask whether the work includes ADAS recalibration so you are not surprised by a higher final bill.
