Specialty glass in Holland, MI.
Semi-trucks and fleets, motorhomes and RVs, boats, heavy equipment, and antique and classic cars. Most auto glass shops do cars and light trucks and stop there.

What counts as specialty
If it has glass in it, we've probably done it.
Five kinds of jobs the national chains and most local shops send back out the door. Every one of them is routine here.
Commercial
Semi-trucks & fleets
Over-the-road and local fleet glass. A truck that isn't rolling isn't earning, so commercial jobs get turned around fast. One truck or a whole fleet.
Off-road
Heavy equipment
Tractors, loaders, graders, excavators, and skid steers. Cab glass in odd shapes and thicknesses that a parts counter can't just hand you.
On the water
Boats & marine
Windscreens and cabin glass. Lake Michigan is twenty minutes from the shop, and marina season doesn't wait on a back-ordered pane.
On the road
Motorhomes & RVs
The big flat front glass most shops won't touch, plus the side, door, and door-step windows. We rebuild RV side windows as well as replace them. We do the whole coach, not just the easy panes.
One of a kind
Antiques & classics
Antiques, classics, and restorations. Tell us the vehicle and we'll tell you straight what we can do for it.
Everything else
The odd job
Odd, old, or one-of-a-kind. Bring it by and we'll tell you straight.
Antiques and classics
The ones other shops hand back.
For an antique, a classic, or a restoration, glass is usually where the conversation ends somewhere else. It does not end here. Tell us what the vehicle is and we will tell you straight whether we can do it and what it takes. It is slow, careful work, and it is part of why people drive a long way to get here.
Replaced my old rusty but trusty van windshield when other auto glass companies told me it couldn't be done.
How it works
Odd glass, worked out one step at a time.
There's no parts-counter shortcut for a 1967 windshield or an excavator cab. Here's how a specialty job actually goes.
01
Tell us what it is
The vehicle, boat, or machine, and a photo of the glass and the opening if you can. For the unusual stuff, a picture saves everyone time.
02
We work out what it takes
This is the part most shops skip. We work out whether the job is doable and what it involves, and you get a straight answer either way, including when the answer is no.
03
We quote it straight
Once we know what the glass takes, you get a real number and a realistic timeline, not a runaround.
04
We fit it right
Sealed, aligned, and tested, whether it's a semi windscreen, a boat cabin, or a classic that hasn't had clear glass in years.
Reviews
The jobs other shops said couldn't be done.
Most people only need an auto glass shop once, usually after a rough day. These are the customers who took the time to leave a review anyway.

the back hatch glass replaced on my mini van. They said over the phone that it would take about 45 min to complete the work, but it only took them about 20 min, and it was done!

Specialty glass, answered
Do you really do glass for boats and heavy equipment?
Yes. Along with cars and trucks, we do semi-trucks and fleets, motorhomes and RVs, boats and marine glass, and heavy equipment like tractors, loaders, graders, and excavators. It's a real part of the shop, not a line on a list. It's why fleets, farms, and marinas in western Michigan end up on 58th St.
How much does specialty glass cost?
It varies more than a car windshield, because the glass ranges from a stock semi windscreen to a hard-to-find pane for a one-of-a-kind vehicle. That's exactly why we don't quote specialty glass sight unseen. Tell us what it is, send a photo if you can, and you'll get a straight number and timeline.
How long does it take to get glass for an older or rare vehicle?
It depends on the vehicle. Stock commercial and RV glass can move quickly. An antique or a classic takes longer, and we'll give you a realistic timeline once we've seen what the job needs.
Can you do glass for an antique or classic?
Often, yes, and it's worth asking before you give up on it. Old and one-of-a-kind vehicles are a real part of what this shop does. Tell us the vehicle and we'll tell you straight whether we can do it. One customer wrote that we replaced a windshield after other shops told her it couldn't be done.
Do you replace semi-truck windshields?
Yes, over-the-road and local fleet trucks. A truck that isn't rolling isn't earning, so we work to get commercial glass turned around quickly. Call 616-396-3487 with the truck details and we'll tell you what we can do and how soon.
Do you do RV and motorhome glass?
Yes. Motorhomes and RVs use big flat windshields and side and door glass that many shops will not touch. We do both the large front glass and the smaller windows, and we rebuild RV side windows as well as replace them.
How do I get a quote on unusual glass?
Call 616-396-3487 or send the form with what the vehicle or equipment is and a photo if you have one. For odd or one-of-a-kind glass, a photo helps us tell you fast whether we can do it, and what it'll take.
That crack isn't going to fix itself.
Tell us the year, make, and model. We'll tell you the price and the day.
