Our Certifications

Auto Glass Safety Council

Virginia Glass is a registered member of the Auto Glass Safety Council. This means that Virginia Glass has been certified as in compliance with the ANSI/AGSC 002-2002 Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard. This standard spells out the practices and procedures for safe windshield replacement and maintaining compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Most of the people do not realize that proper windshield installation is a critical factor in the ability of an automobile to protect occupants in an accident. Visit our Safety page for more information.
