A Day in the Life at RND: Replacing Windshields on a BMW and a Subaru

At RND Auto Detailing and Glass Repair LLC, there’s no such thing as a “typical” day. Every morning, our team arrives ready to tackle whatever the community brings our way—whether it’s a classic car needing some TLC, a commercial fleet vehicle on a tight schedule, or, as was the case today, a pair of beloved daily drivers in need of new windshields.

Today was one for the books, with our technicians replacing windshields on both a BMW and a Subaru. It’s days like this that remind us why we love what we do—because every vehicle that rolls into our shop tells a unique story, and every customer leaves knowing they were treated with care, respect, and genuine expertise.

The BMW: Precision Meets Performance

Our first appointment of the day was a 2020 BMW 7 Series. The owner, David, called in after a rogue rock left a nasty crack across his windshield during her morning commute. he was understandably anxious—his BMW isn’t just a car, it’s his pride and joy, and he wanted to make sure the repair was handled with the utmost attention to detail.

BMWs are known for their advanced technology and tight tolerances. Windshield replacement on these vehicles isn’t just about swapping glass; it’s about ensuring the sensors for rain, lane departure, and head-up displays are perfectly recalibrated. Our technicians have specialized training and experience with European imports, so David’s car was in good hands.

After carefully removing the damaged windshield, we sourced an OEM-quality replacement from one of our trusted suppliers. Our team cleaned the frame, checked for any hidden rust or damage, and installed the new glass using manufacturer-approved adhesives. We then took the time to recalibrate the car’s sensors, ensuring all safety systems were fully operational before handing the keys back to David.

he left with a smile, grateful for the quick turnaround (just a few hours from drop-off to pick-up), and peace of mind knowing his BMW was restored to its original condition.

The Subaru: Reliability on the Road

No sooner had David's BMW left the shop than our next customer, Mark, pulled in with his 2020 Subaru Outback. Mark’s Subaru is his adventure mobile—he uses it for weekend camping trips, hauling gear, and the daily school run. A stray branch during a recent hike had left a spiderweb crack in the upper corner of the windshield, and with summer road trips on the horizon, he didn’t want to take any chances.

Subaru's are renowned for their ruggedness, but even the toughest vehicles need a little help sometimes. Our team got to work, removing the old windshield and prepping the surface for a new one. We used high-quality glass that meets or exceeds Subaru’s specifications, and—just as we did with the BMW—carefully installed it to factory standards.

We also checked Mark’s Eyesight driver assist system, which relies on cameras mounted just behind the windshield. After the new glass was in place, we recalibrated the system to ensure Mark’s Subaru would keep him and his family safe on the road.

Mark appreciated the attention to detail and our straightforward approach—he even stuck around to chat with our techs about his favorite camping spots while we worked.
