Windshield Replacement for New Underwood Pickups and Cars
New Underwood started around 1906 and is named for John Underwood, a cattleman. About 590 people live here, every one of them in a rural setting, and a fifth of the town is 65 or older. Until 2017 it had the world's smallest biker bar, which brought Rally-week traffic through town.
Out here the vehicle of choice is a pickup, and the roads off I-90 are gravel. That's a recipe for chips, and the nearest shop is a long drive away. We bring the van to you instead. We also work in Wall farther east along the interstate. Our mobile page explains how a visit works.
What We See in New Underwood

Pickup Windshields and Gravel Roads
Most of the vehicles out here are half-ton and heavier pickups, and a pickup windshield is a bigger piece of glass than a car's. Gravel county roads off the interstate throw stones all day. We stock common pickup glass and can usually get the rest quickly, and we replace at your yard so you don't lose the truck for a day.
If a stone hits on a gravel road, don't pick at the chip and don't spray it with a hose. Put a strip of clear tape over it and call. A clean, dry chip repairs better, and a repaired chip on a pickup is a lot cheaper than a new windshield.
Service for New Underwood Residents 65 and Older
About 20.8% of New Underwood is 65 or older, and a lot of people live alone. A van that comes to the house makes a real difference. We call before we come, explain each step in plain words and don't push options you don't need. Ask as many questions as you like.
What to Have Ready
- The year, make and model of your truck
- A photo of the damage with a coin beside it
- A flat spot at the yard or a garage
- Your insurer's name if you plan to file
I-90 Miles Between Rapid City and New Underwood
New Underwood sits along Interstate 90 east of Rapid City, and that stretch carries semis and road-trip traffic from Memorial Day to Labor Day. A truck passing at 75 mph can fling a stone harder than you'd think. A chip on the passenger side is common here, and it's usually fixable.
Windshield Care for New Underwood Pickups and Cars
Gravel roads produce a particular kind of damage: lots of small pits and chips scattered across the lower half of the glass. Each one is small, but together they can make a windshield hard to see through in low sun. If your windshield looks frosted from the inside of a pickup cab, a replacement can feel like a new truck.
We replace windshields on trucks up to three-quarter-ton and can often order the glass for heavier ones. Tell us the model and we'll tell you how long the glass takes. Farm and ranch trucks often have extra lights or antennas on the glass, and we work around them.
If you're not sure whether a chip needs repair, send a photo. If you have a few, we can repair them together and save you a visit. Read more about chip repair or how we handle a mobile windshield replacement.
A Year of Windshield Care in New Underwood
New Underwood is cattle country, and its seasons are set by weather and the work calendar. Here's how glass fares.
| Season | What happens to glass | What we'd do |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Muddy gravel roads and calving season traffic | Wipe the glass and check for chips |
| Summer | Heat, dust and truck traffic on I-90 | Repair chips before they spread in the sun |
| Fall | Harvest and hauling on gravel county roads | Check the glass at the start of the season |
| Winter | Frozen ground, road sand and deep cold | Plan replacements for a garage or a warmer day |
A farm or ranch truck works hard all year. A quick look at the windshield each month saves a lot of money over a few years.

Can you replace a pickup windshield at my farm or yard?
Yes. The van carries the glass and tools. We need a flat spot and room to open the back doors, and a garage if it's windy or cold. Tell us the truck's year, make and model.

Small pits can be filled, but many pits across the glass usually means replacement for a clear view. Send a photo from the driver's seat in daylight and we'll tell you what we'd do.
