Wrecked car in junkyard

A common request that we receive at our shop is to replace the windshield or door window glass with the “original factory glass.” We’ll we’ve got a secret for you: American Auto Body purchases replacement auto glass from the exact same manufacturers that the auto manufacturers purchase from. This means, instead of paying a premium price for “original factory glass” purchased from the car manufacturer’s dealership, American Auto Body skips that middleman, and can provide competitively priced auto glass that you can feel confident is the same superior quality.

Our in-house auto glass repair and replacement experts are able to service your car in our Brooklyn Park auto shop, or come to you with our mobile repair and replacement service! Contact us today for more information at 763-424-2522.
