5 Best Windshield Repair Shops in Winnipeg That Local Drivers Rely on Completely
A friend of mine had a mini-fender bender last month, which resulted in a tiny crack on his windshield. He looked for a quick and easy fix and found a repair shop that charged him only $20—he was ecstatic.
After a week, he became way less ecstatic—the crack actually spread, and he had to shell out a lot more for a full replacement. What a nightmare!
So, don’t make the same mistake; bring your car to one of the best windshield repair shops in Winnipeg. They’re used to getting the job done the first time—no headaches and no hidden costs.
How much does windshield repair cost in Winnipeg?
Windshield repair in Winnipeg typically costs between $50 and $150.
Small chips are usually on the lower end, while larger cracks or multiple repairs can push the price higher.
1. Mr. Auto Glass Inc.
Address: 90 MacDonald Ave
Phone: (204) 430-8138
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 9 AM – 6 PM
- Saturday: 10 AM–4 PM
Mr. Auto Glass Inc. specializes in auto glass repair and replacement. We love that they’re Manitoba Public Insurance-accredited, so dealing with insurance claims is hassle-free.
For those annoying rock chips on your windshield, they stop the damage from spreading by filling in the chip with resin and reinforcing the glass. Full glass replacements are offered too for windshields that are beyond saving.
Not only do they offer same-day repairs, but they’re also open on Saturdays. A customer mentioned that this was a lifesaver—when other shops turned him away, they were able to fix his windshield one early Saturday morning.
Another bonus is their lifetime warranty against leaks, meaning no leaky windshields in your future!
What they could improve is their responsiveness because we learned that reaching them can be a bit tough.

2. ACR Auto Glass
Address: 3331 Portage Ave
Phone: (204) 254-5277
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 8 AM – 5 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM –1 PM
ACR Auto Glass was founded in 2008 by Dean Forster, who actually grew up in the glass industry, so you know he’s legit.
His shop is known for its Quick Windshield Repair program, which lets customers drop by without an appointment and get their windshields fixed within 30 minutes. Some customers even mentioned that it took as little as 15 minutes—pretty impressive!
They also have an online glass claim form that speeds up the insurance process. If you have comprehensive insurance, your windshield repair is free; for basic insurance, they offer a cool 50% discount.
In cases where you need to replace your windshield, they offer 90-day interest-free deductible financing. This helps take the sting out of those bigger repair costs.
Note that during peak times, there might be a short wait due to their walk-in system.

3. Glass Lab Auto Glass
Address: 532 Archibald St
Phone: (204) 813-0709
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 8 AM – 5 PM
Glass Lab Auto Glass is another name worth considering if you’re looking to repair or replace your windshield.
A unique offering is their Mobile Same-Day Service. If the weather’s nice, they’ll send a technician to your home or office to do the job on the spot.
Now, if it’s too cold, you can drop off your vehicle in their heated garage. Or you can use their Vehicle Valet Service—they’ll pick up your car, fix the windshield in their garage, and return it by the end of the day.
They even have an intuitive claim process that works well with all major insurance providers like MPI, Sandbox, and ICBC. Their lifetime warranty is just the icing on the cake.
One thing we heard about—the team doesn’t always clean up after themselves, leaving rubber debris or small messes in the car.
Pick up, drop off, same day fix
“Incredible service. Pick up, drop off, same day fix, incredibly nice people. Have used their services a few times and they never disappoint. Highly recommend!!”

Made a repair that was in a tricky spot
“Very happy with the level of service from Glass Lab and Jim. I’m from out of the city and with a vehicle that only a few places could service, no one else could take me in on the schedule I had. Jim kindly took me in as he was aware of my schedule and made a repair that was in a tricky spot. Very impressed!”

4. J Max Collision & Glass
Address: 624 Lorette Ave
Phone: (204) 475-9000
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 8 AM – 6 PM
J Max Collision & Glass has been in the game for 30 years, and it all started when Joel began fixing up vehicles at just 16 years old.
One major perk is that they’re certified for Direct Repair. Meaning, if your insurance claim qualifies, you can skip the MPI Service Centre and go directly to them.
They specialize in chipped or cracked windshields, making sure that the repairs done are very unnoticeable. But if you need a full windshield replacement, you’ll get complimentary detailing once the job’s done.
In case you’re out of a car for a couple of days, they’ll provide you with a courtesy car. Another highlight is their lifetime warranty on all repairs.
A downside we heard about is that customers were given the runaround, with delays and miscommunications about their repairs.
Only place I’ll go for body and glass repair
“The only place I’ll go for body and glass repair. Went above and beyond on the repairs, amazing customer service, friendly, and accommodating. They even did a full detailing both times I went in! Ruben, George, and the rest of the team are A+. Don’t waste your time going anywhere else.”
— Nic Herzog, Google Review

5. Donvito Collision & Glass
Address: 550 Pembina Hwy
Phone: (204) 615-6840
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 8 AM – 5 PM
- Saturday: 10 AM – 3 PM
Donvito Collision & Glass has been repairing and replacing windshields in Winnipeg for over 40 years. No wonder they’ve won the Top Choice Award for Windshield & Auto Glass five years in a row!
They can work on all makes of models since their team has I-CAR Gold Class-certified and Red Seal technicians. And each location has an in-store estimator, who will check if your windshield can be repaired, saving you time and money.
But if you need to replace it, they offer both OEM and aftermarket glass.
As a convenient bonus, you can bring your car directly to Donvito if your claim qualifies. If approved, they can even provide a rental car via U-Drive Car Rental.
On the other hand, some customers have told us about scheduling mix-ups, which led to delayed repairs.
My car now looks like it just rolled off the lot
“Don Vito did an amazing job with my car! I had a claim to repair some rock chips on the front of my car and Vito got me in right away and completed the work very quickly. Him and his team took great care of my car, going above and beyond with the workmanship and the clean up afterwards. I even had a couple extra things I wanted painted at the same time and he gave me a great deal to get that done. I am very happy with how everything turned out and my car now looks like it just rolled off the lot. Don’t waste your time with another body shop, bring it to Don Vito to get it done right.”
