JET Auto Glass

A Family-Driven Business Focused on Safety, Service, and Community

By Alexandra Kurpieski November 17, 2025

Every great small business has a story and the heart of JET Auto Glass is one built on integrity, grit, and a whole lot of family love.

The journey began back in 2012, when Jacob first stepped into the world of windshield repair, working out of local car washes and quickly becoming one of the top technicians in his company. But when he realized his hard work was being overshadowed by shady business practices and poor treatment of employees, he made a decision that would change everything: he was going to build something better. Something honest. Something his community could trust.

With that drive, Jacob stepped out on his own. A short-lived partnership helped lay the foundation, but ultimately, he and his wife Elise took a leap of faith and created what is now JET Auto Glass - named for the most important people in their world: Jacob, Elise, and their son, Trey.

What started as a small setup offering rock chip repairs at three car washes across Orange County, San Diego, and Redhawk soon evolved into something much more. As car washes moved toward self-serve models and foot traffic dwindled, the Steins reinvented their business entirely. They became fully mobile - just the two of them - combining Jacob’s technical skill with Elise’s determination to learn both the trade and the world of social media. Together, they rebuilt JET Auto Glass from the ground up.

Honest Work, Quality Materials, and Genuine Care

The mission behind JET Auto Glass is simple but powerful:
Provide top-notch service with high-quality materials while keeping the community safe behind the wheel.

Honesty, hard work, and kindness guide everything they do. They believe what goes around comes around, and it shows—in their customer interactions, their flexibility as a mobile service, and their commitment to delivering safety and convenience right to your doorstep. Whether you're at home, at work, or out shopping, JET Auto Glass meets you where you are.

Their services include:

  • Rock chip repair
  • Front & rear windshield replacement
  • ADAS calibration
  • Windshield wiper installation
  • Quarter panel replacement
  • Moulding repair & replacement

They use only top-of-the-line materials and glass, and every service comes with a lifetime guarantee - a promise that your vehicle is fully protected when you choose them. And to offer even more peace of mind, JET Auto Glass is fully licensed and insured.

A Customer Experience Rooted in Community

At JET Auto Glass, you’re never “just another appointment.” Elise and Jacob are proud members of the community they serve, and they treat every customer the way they would treat a friend - because to them, you are.

Their 5-star reputation across every platform isn’t an accident. It’s the result of years of dedication, attention to detail, kindness, and consistent quality.

Built From Scratch With Heart and Hard Work

The Steins will be the first to tell you: building JET Auto Glass wasn’t easy. They didn’t start with a loan, an online presence, or a big team. They started with hustle.

They walked into local businesses, shaking hands and introducing themselves. They handed out cards. They collaborated with other small businesses. They poured their hearts into social media. They stayed committed, even on the toughest days.

And it paid off. JET Auto Glass is now a trusted name not only because of the services they offer, but because of the connections they’ve made and the community they’ve uplifted along the way.

Giving Back, Lifting Others Up

Support local? JET Auto Glass lives it.

From giveaway services and special discounts to sharing other small businesses on their social media stories, Elise and Jacob never stop supporting the community that supports them. They frequently partner with influencers, podcast hosts, and local city guides, continuing to build a strong network of small businesses lifting each other higher.

Looking Ahead

The future is bright for this family-owned, fully mobile auto glass company. Elise and Jacob plan to expand their service offerings, and possibly their team, all while staying true to what makes JET Auto Glass special: the mobility, the personal touch, and their commitment to keeping families safe on the road.
