How Mobile Service Works in Carrboro

You tell us the year, make and model (or the VIN) and where the damage is. Impex checks the exact part against the VIN before anything is ordered, so the glass that arrives matches your car, including the brackets for a rain sensor or a lane camera. Then a certified technician drives out to your driveway, your office lot or another safe, level spot in Carrboro and does the job there.

Impex has 48 technicians placed within 40 miles of every town it serves, which is why Carrboro gets local service at home or at work. Most jobs suit the driveway. If you ever prefer to drive in, the one Impex drive-in shop is at 8748 W Market St in Greensboro.

Windshield Chip Repair and Replacement in Carrboro

Chip and Crack Repair: When It Works

Resin repair fills a chip so it stops spreading and clears up a lot of the blemish. The repair standard used across the industry (ROLAGS) treats stone breaks up to two inches across and single cracks up to 14 inches as repairable, but where the damage sits matters as much as its size. A small chip away from the edge and out of the driver’s line of sight is the classic candidate. Our chip and crack repair page explains the process in more detail.

Full Windshield Replacement With VIN-Matched Glass

When a crack runs to the edge, sits right in front of the driver or is simply too long, the windshield gets replaced. The old glass and urethane come out, the frame is cleaned and primed, and the new windshield is set in fresh adhesive to restore the car to manufacturer standards. More detail is on our windshield replacement page.

ADAS Camera Calibration After a New Windshield

If your car has a camera behind the mirror for lane keeping, automatic braking or adaptive cruise, I-CAR lists windshield removal as one of the events that can require the camera to be aimed again. Impex performs that recalibration so the system reads the road correctly. Read more on camera calibration after a windshield job.

Side Windows, Back Glass and Radar Calibration

Side and Door Window Replacement

Door glass is tempered, so it shatters into small pieces rather than cracking. We vacuum the door and the cabin, fit the new glass and check the regulator so the window runs up and down properly. See door and side window replacement.

Back Glass and Rear Windshield Replacement

Back glass replacement for a Carrboro car typically takes one to two hours. The defroster lines and any antenna connections are reattached, and Impex guarantees clean, secure results.

ADAS Radar Calibration

Forward radar usually sits in or behind the front bumper or grille, not the windshield. After bumper work or a sensor replacement it may need calibrating; Impex handles that too.

Rock Chips on NC 54 and NC 86? Fix Them Early

Why Small Chips Spread

Carrboro traffic runs mostly on NC 54 and NC 86, and the drive to anywhere bigger usually means I-40. Construction trucks, gravel shoulders and highway speeds all throw stones. A chip that looks harmless in October can run into a crack after a cold night, a hot afternoon with the defroster on, or a pothole that flexes the body.

Repair vs Replace: A Quick Check

• Smaller than a quarter and away from the edge: usually repairable.
• A crack longer than a dollar bill: usually a replacement (an industry rule of thumb, not a law).
• Damage right in the driver’s view: a replacement is the safer choice even if it is small.
• Not sure? Send a photo with your quote request and we will tell you which it is.

Insurance Claims for Carrboro Drivers

Comprehensive Coverage and Your Deductible

In North Carolina, glass breakage falls under comprehensive (other than collision) coverage, according to the NC Department of Insurance, and your comprehensive deductible applies unless your policy includes full glass coverage. North Carolina has no law that waives the deductible for glass.

You Choose the Shop (N.C. G.S. 58-3-180)

State law says a policy covering damage to a motor vehicle must let the claimant pick the repair source, and the insurer pays the same amount whichever one you pick. You can name Impex when you open the claim.
