A broken side window — whether from a break-in, a rock, or an accidental shatter — needs to be fixed the same day. Rain, theft risk, and unsafe driving make waiting impossible. Auto Renu replaces side windows on-site at your home, office, or parking lot across all of Contra Costa County.
Vehicle break-ins are common across the East Bay — BART parking lots, trail heads, shopping center parking structures, and city streets in Walnut Creek, Concord, Antioch, and Oakland are frequent targets. When your driver side or passenger side window is smashed, you have a few hours before rain, additional theft risk, or an unsafe vehicle forces your hand. Auto Renu provides same-day side window replacement across Contra Costa County — a technician comes to wherever your car is parked and installs new glass on-site. No tow. No shop trip. In most cases we arrive within 2–4 hours of your call.
Auto Renu replaces all side and door glass including: Driver front door window — the most common break-in target; Passenger front door window; Rear driver-side door window; Rear passenger-side door window; Quarter glass (small fixed triangular windows); Vent glass. We service all vehicle types: sedans, SUVs, trucks, vans, and luxury vehicles including Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. Tempered glass (side windows) is replaced in the same appointment — no ordering lead time for most makes and models.
Side window replacement in the East Bay typically costs $150–$400 depending on the vehicle and which window was broken. Common East Bay pricing: Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla driver window $150–$220; Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 $180–$280; Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado $200–$350; BMW or Mercedes $250–$500; Tesla Model 3/Y $300–$600. With comprehensive auto insurance, side window replacement is covered at $0 deductible — the same California law that covers windshields also covers all other auto glass. Call 1-800-684-3629 for an exact quote by vehicle within 60 seconds.
Yes — if you have comprehensive coverage, a broken side window is covered at $0 deductible under California law, regardless of whether it was from a break-in, vandalism, or accidental breakage. This is the same provision that covers windshields. Auto Renu handles the insurance claim for you: we call your insurer, get approval, and bill them directly. Covered by CSAA, AAA, Farmers, State Farm, Geico, Allstate, Mercury, and all major California carriers. Note: if the break-in also involved theft, file a separate police report for the stolen items — the glass itself goes through your comprehensive coverage, not theft coverage.
If you can't get same-day service or need to park outside overnight, use a plastic trash bag and painter's tape to cover the window opening from inside. Push the glass fragments out first (carefully, wearing gloves), wipe the door seal, and tape the bag tightly inside the door frame. This is not a security solution — it just keeps rain out. For true same-day service in Contra Costa County, call Auto Renu at 1-800-684-3629. In most areas we can reach you within 2–4 hours. Evening slots available.

Always file a police report after a break-in — even if nothing was stolen. You'll need the report number for your insurance claim. In Walnut Creek, Concord, and Danville, you can file online at the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office or your city's police non-emergency line. In Oakley, Brentwood, and Antioch, file with the Contra Costa Sheriff. Pittsburg and Bay Point have their own police departments. Auto Renu does not require a police report to start your glass claim — your insurer may ask for it separately for any stolen items portion of the claim.
