Questions

Common questions

Repair the chip or replace the windshield?

The answer depends on size, location, edge involvement, depth, and applicable safety standards. Confirm capability and request an inspection.

Why does the camera need recalibration after glass replacement?

The camera aims through the glass. New glass, even perfectly installed, shifts its view enough that lane-keeping and emergency braking need recalibration to work correctly.

Does insurance cover windshield replacement?

Glass coverage and deductibles vary by policy. Confirm coverage, authorization, and approved providers directly with the insurer.

Reviews

Van Nuys drivers on F1 Collision

★★★★★

…My car is metallic white, which is a very difficult color to match perfectly — but they absolutely nailed it. The paint match is flawless. It looks completely natural, and you would never be able to tell the car had any damage or repaint done. The finish blends perfectly with the original factory paint. They were extremely professional, very fair with pricing, and most importantly — on time. Everything was completed exactly when they promised. The entire team was friendly, honest, and great to work with. From quality to communication to timing, I'm 100% satisfied. I highly recommend F1 Collision to anyone who wants their car repaired the right way.

Rayan was a great help from start to finish. Brought in my BMW 330i with major damages to the front bumper and front rim. He gave me a great a price for the entire job. He also completed the entire project in less than a week. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you again Rayan for the amazing work.
