Go! Glass & Accessories reaches five years of trading at its Okotoks shop on 1 October 2026. The premises opened in 2021 and have served drivers in the town and surrounding Foothills communities since then.
Go! Glass & Accessories provides Auto Glass Repair and Replacement in Okotoks, covering windshields, door glass, quarter glass, rear glass and sunroof glass. The shop opened on 1 October 2021 and has operated with a three-person team since then. It is registered with the Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council, the provincial regulator for Alberta's automotive industry, and holds a business licence from the Town of Okotoks.
Most Auto Glass Repair and Replacement jobs begin with an assessment of whether damage can be repaired or whether the glass has to come out, a judgment that turns on the size and depth of the damage, where it sits relative to the driver's field of vision, and how close it is to the edge of the panel. Laminated safety glass behaves differently depending on where it is struck, which is why the assessment determines the rest of the job rather than following it. Those factors are difficult to gauge by looking at a chip alone, which is why they are best assessed by a professional. Technicians at Go! Glass & Accessories examine the damage first, then recommend repair or replacement based on the condition of the glass.
Okotoks sits in Foothills County at the junction of Highway 2A and Highway 7, and the vehicles arriving at the shop reflect the surrounding roads. Traction gravel and sand thrown up at highway speed are a recurring source of the chips the shop sees, and unpaved rural roads across the county produce more of the same throughout the year. Chinook temperature swings then finish the job, spreading damage that might otherwise have stayed repairable.
Private vehicle owners and local drivers account for a significant share of the work, with damage picked up commuting on Highway 2 and Highway 2A a recurring reason for a visit. Among the other regular customers are local trade and farm operators across the county, and the shop also handles fleet vehicles and RV windshields, with commercial trucks and other larger vehicles seen occasionally.
"The work is the same work it was in 2021," said Remon Toma, Owner of Go! Glass & Accessories. "Somebody arrives with a chip or a crack, we look at it properly and tell them whether it can be filled or whether the glass has to be replaced, and then we do that and recalibrate the camera if the vehicle has one.”
The technicians at the shop hold AUTEL and Opti-Aim ADAS calibration certifications, as well as a Dow urethane certificate. Go! Glass & Accessories is one of a network of independently owned Canadian dealers trading under a single banner within the Driven Brands™ group, and the Okotoks shop has operated from one premises since it opened.
The warranty position follows how the work is paid for. Go! Glass & Accessories provides a lifetime workmanship warranty on auto glass replacement carried out under an insurance claim, covering installation labour. Customers paying out of pocket, including commercial and fleet customers, receive a one-year warranty on windshield installation, and a 90-day stress-crack warranty applies to all customers.
"A workmanship warranty only means something if the business behind it is still here," Remon Toma said. "If there is a problem with an installation we did, the customer comes back to the same shop, and we stand behind that work. Being in the same town since 2021 is what makes that possible."
At the five-year mark, Auto Glass Repair and Replacement remains the shop's sole work, carried out from the same premises by a three-person team, with the same assessment at the front of every job. Further information about the business is available on its Facebook page.
