About Apex Auto Glass & Tinting
Apex Auto Glass and Tinting is a locally owned and operated business serving the Central Coast since 2000, founded by Ralph Murguia and co-owned since 2005 by Ryan Fruge. Unlike most companies in the industry, Apex always connects customers to a live person for scheduling, insurance claims, and support, with same-day repair and next-day replacement as standard. Apex employs 14 people, more than half of whom have been with the company over 10 years, and all auto glass technicians are certified by the Auto Glass Safety Council. The company is committed to giving back to the community by supporting local causes, sponsoring youth athletes, and partnering with local high schools and teams.
- Upfront PricingYou get a written quote for the panes and square footage before any work is scheduled. The number on the quote matches the number on the invoice, with nothing added.
- Flexible SchedulingAppointments can be set before or after business hours so cleaning never interrupts a storefront's open sign. Residential visits are scheduled around when you are actually home.
- Careful CrewsCrews use drop cloths and edge guards so frames, sills, and landscaping stay untouched during a visit. Your property is left the way we found it, without the streaks.

What We Stand For
Honesty
We recommend a repair over a full pane replacement whenever the glass can be safely fixed. Spending less on the right service matters more to us than a bigger invoice.
Reliability
Appointment windows are kept tight, so you are not left guessing when a crew will arrive. A confirmed time stays confirmed unless weather makes the work unsafe.
Care
We check frames and seals while we are already there, not just the glass itself. Small issues get flagged early instead of turning into a bigger repair later.
What Customers Value
They were there when they said they would be, explained everything in plain language, and made the whole thing easy.
Clear communication from the first call to the finish. We knew what was happening at every step.
Straight answers and careful work. It is exactly what you want from a local business.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you schedule a visit?
Most cleaning appointments are booked within the week, and we prioritize urgent glass repairs.
Do you handle both cleaning and repair?
Yes. We clean residential and storefront glass and also repair or replace cracked, foggy, and broken panes.
Can you set up recurring storefront cleaning?
We offer weekly, monthly, or seasonal plans so your storefront glass stays clear year round.
How do estimates work?
We assess the glass on site and provide a written quote before any repair or replacement is scheduled. The price you approve is the price you pay.
Do you clean upper story and hard to reach windows?
Yes. Our crews are equipped to safely reach multi story and awkward windows on both homes and storefronts.
What if my window is foggy between the panes?
That usually means a failed seal, and we can replace the insulated glass unit so the view is clear again.
Do you repair or replace broken glass in doors and storefronts?
Yes. We handle entry doors, patio doors, and storefront panels, measuring the opening and fitting the right glass so it seats securely and operates smoothly.
Can you remove hard water spots from my windows?
Often, yes. We treat mineral staining and sprinkler etching with a fine polish, then seal the glass so new spots are easier to rinse away before they set.
Ready for clearer glass?
Tell us what your glass needs and we will get a crew scheduled, often within the week.
