Windshield Repair and Replacement in Wall
Wall was platted in 1907 when the railroad came through, and its Lakota name means "town alongside the Badlands." The Wall Drug Store opened in 1931 and grew into a huge roadside stop. About 699 people live here, and millions of road-trippers roll through.
Wall sits on I-90 on the east side of Pennington County, across the Cheyenne River, about 55 miles from Rapid City. That's a long stretch of interstate at 75 mph with trucks and tourists, which is hard on any windshield. We make the drive out, and we also cover Box Elder on the way. Our chip repair page is the one most Wall drivers need.

Why I-90 Is Hard on a Windshield
The stretch of I-90 through Wall is long, straight and fast. Semis, motorhomes and summer traffic mean a lot of stones at a lot of miles per hour. A chip on the passenger side of a road-trip car is almost a given. Most are fixable, and the sooner the better.
If you're passing through, we can often meet you in Wall. Chip repair takes about 45 minutes. Send us a photo with a coin beside it and tell us where you're stopped, and we'll tell you whether it's a repair or a replacement and what time we can come.
Locals and the Badlands Edge
If you live in Wall, you're a long way from the nearest shop, and we bring the van to you. We drive out by appointment so we can plan the trip and bring the right glass. At the edge of the Badlands the wind can come up fast, so we'll ask to use a garage if there's one.
Before We Drive Out
- Send year, make and model and a photo of the damage
- Tell us where the vehicle is parked and when it can be there
- Cover a fresh chip with clear tape
- Check the wind forecast with us for a windshield replacement
Semis, Pickups and Other Work Vehicles
Wall sees a lot of truck traffic, and some of that glass is bigger than what we carry for cars. If you've got a semi or heavy truck, tell us the make and model and we'll tell you honestly what we can do. For pickups and standard vehicles we usually bring the glass in one trip.
Windshield Replacement for Wall Drivers and Truckers
Wall has about 699 residents, but a lot of people pass through, from tourists to truckers to people heading to the Badlands. That traffic takes a toll on glass, and the nearest windshield shop is about an hour away. A mobile visit by appointment is often the practical option.
We plan Wall trips in advance so the van carries the right glass. For a pickup or a standard car, we can usually have the windshield in a couple of days. For heavier trucks, tell us the make and model as soon as you can so we can check the part. A written price comes first.
If you're passing through and you need a chip repaired, call us from the road. We'll tell you whether we can meet you in town and how soon. Our chip repair page explains what we do, and our cost page shows typical prices.
A Year of Windshield Care in Wall
Wall's seasons are set by the interstate and the weather coming off the Badlands. Here's how each season treats glass.
| Season | What happens to glass | What we'd do |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Gusty wind and loose gravel after winter | Check for chips and plan around the wind |
| Summer | Peak road-trip traffic and heat | Repair chips before a long drive |
| Fall | Temperature swings and early frost | Fix chips before the first freeze |
| Winter | Deep cold and blowing snow on I-90 | Replacements wait for a garage or a calm day |
If you're passing through, a chip repair before the next stretch of interstate is cheap insurance. Call us from the road.
