Auto Glass Now operates as a franchise with a heavy price focus. They position on low cost, high volume throughput. If your windshield is straightforward and ADAS calibration isn't a factor, that works. For anything more complex — modern vehicles with cameras, insurance claims, same-day tight windows — the franchise model shows its limits.

Common Questions
Is Auto Glass Now actually cheaper?
▼
Sometimes. They compete on price. But ADAS calibration is a required separate line item on our invoice — we quote it upfront, not hidden. When you compare full job cost apples to apples, the totals are often similar or lower with us.
What makes a local shop better than a franchise for ADAS vehicles?
▼
Franchise models optimize for speed and throughput. ADAS calibration requires shop-specific target equipment and a tech who knows the procedure cold. Subcontracting calibration or doing it by rote introduces error. We own our calibration equipment and our techs are trained on it.
How do I know Legendary can handle my vehicle?

Call us with the year, make, and model. If we can't do the job to our standard, we'll tell you — we won't take the money for a job we're not equipped to do right.
