Glass Repair and Replacement at Falk Auto Body and Glass
Damaged auto glass is more than a cosmetic issue. Chips, cracks, and broken windows can reduce visibility, weaken vehicle safety, and leave your car exposed to weather and theft risk. At Falk Auto Body and Glass, we provide glass repair and replacement in Red Wing, MN with a focus on safety, quality, and convenience, including mobile glass repair options when available.

As a family owned shop rooted in the Red Wing community, we approach every repair with honesty, transparency, and a commitment to doing it right.
Why quality auto glass service matters
Auto glass is a key part of your vehicle’s safety and comfort. A compromised windshield or window can lead to bigger issues if it is ignored, especially in Minnesota weather where temperature swings can cause damage to spread quickly. Repairing chips early can help prevent cracks from growing, while proper replacement ensures your vehicle is sealed, secure, and safe to drive.
Quality matters because:
– Glass supports safe visibility while driving
– Damaged glass can weaken structural integrity and protection
– Proper installation helps prevent leaks, wind noise, and seal failures
– Modern safety features may rely on sensors and cameras tied to the windshield

Glass Repair and Replacement FAQ
Can a chip or small crack be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. Small chips and minor cracks can often be repaired if they are not spreading, not in the driver’s line of sight, and meet safety guidelines. If the damage is extensive or unsafe to repair, replacement is typically recommended.
What types of auto glass do you repair or replace?
We help with a wide range of auto glass needs, including windshields and other vehicle glass. If you have a broken or damaged window, contact us and we’ll review the best solution.
Do you offer mobile glass repair and replacement?
Yes. Falk Auto Body and Glass offers mobile auto glass service when available, depending on the type of job and scheduling.
How long does glass repair take?
Many chip repairs can be completed quickly once the damage is inspected and confirmed as repairable. Timing varies based on the specific damage and schedule availability.
How long does glass replacement take?
Replacement time depends on your vehicle and the glass required. After installation, the adhesive may need time to cure before the vehicle is safe to drive. We will provide guidance for your specific situation.
Will my insurance cover glass repair or replacement?
Coverage depends on your policy. Some plans include glass coverage or may cover repairs differently than replacements. If you are unsure, we can help you understand what to ask your insurance provider.
Is it safe to drive with damaged auto glass?
Damaged glass can reduce visibility, compromise safety, and allow weather or debris into the vehicle. If damage is spreading, in your line of sight, or the window is broken, it’s best to get it inspected as soon as possible.
What should I do right after I notice a crack or chip?
Avoid extreme temperature changes and avoid putting pressure near the damaged area. If possible, schedule an inspection quickly to reduce the chance of the damage spreading.
Do you perform auto body repair along with glass repair and replacement?
Yes. Falk Auto Body and Glass is a full-service collision repair facility. We regularly perform auto body repair alongside glass repair and replacement, allowing damage to be addressed as part of one coordinated repair process instead of multiple appointments.
