What changes the price for a Buick Encore

• Windshield-mounted camera. On the Encore, the GM front view camera system uses a front view camera module mounted to the windshield; GM’s January 2023 position statement requires a service-point calibration whenever a windshield with a front view camera is removed, reinstalled or replaced.
• Year matters. The table below averages $288 for 2013–2015 and $283 for 2020–2022.
• Separate calibration fee. If your Encore has a windshield camera, the recalibration is a line of its own; this guide gives typical prices.

Buick Encore: repair or replace?

A chip smaller than a quarter or a crack shorter than about three inches can usually be repaired — faster and far cheaper than a full replacement. Replacement is the safer choice when the damage is longer than a dollar bill, sits in the driver’s line of sight, reaches the edge of the glass (which weakens the whole windshield), or goes through both layers. A qualified shop can confirm which option your Buick Encore qualifies for.

Does insurance cover a Buick Encore windshield?

Whether insurance covers your Buick Encore windshield depends on your comprehensive coverage and deductible. A few states require insurers to waive the glass deductible entirely, and some insurers waive it for small chip repairs. See our guides to states with zero deductible for comprehensive glass claims and states with glass endorsement coverage to check the rules in your state.
