OEM, which stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, refers to products manufactured according to the precise specifications of the original parts from the vehicle manufacturer. This guarantees that the equipment will perform on par with the original components. At NW Autoglass, we prioritize using OEM glass whenever possible to ensure the highest quality and compatibility. In cases where OEM glass is not available, we opt for OE (Original Equivalent) glass, which still meets stringent quality standards. It's worth noting that OE glass is often produced by the same manufacturer responsible for the OEM glass, further ensuring reliability and performance.

The coverage of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) glass by insurance agencies can vary. Typically, insurance companies may cover OEM glass for brand new vehicles, specifically those of the current model year. However, in many cases, you may be responsible for covering the cost difference between what your insurance company offers and the expense of an OEM windshield. At NW Autoglass, we strive to replace your auto glass with OEM whenever possible. If OEM glass is not available, we ensure that the highest quality option covered by your insurance company is used for repairing your vehicle's auto glass. In cases where OEM is not an option, we utilize Original Equivalent (OE) glass, which is often manufactured by the same company as the OEM glass, maintaining a high standard of quality.
