Expect Quality Service…

It wasn’t long ago that Defender Auto Glass founder/owner CJ Paterniti realized the automotive glass market lacked a trustworthy company to serve those in need of repairs and replacements.  In response, he created Defender Auto Glass to provide superior customer service at a fair price.

Defender Auto Glass was created on the values that made its sister company D&S Automotive successful for over 37 years.  By putting the customer first and focusing on quality repairs, D&S Automotive became a leader in automotive collision repair in Northeast Ohio.  Those values have helped them grow from one collision center in Mentor to a second in Euclid, with a third opening in the fall of 2015.

Our service area covers Northeast Ohio from Cleveland to Akron and Lorain to Ashtabula, with our headquarters centrally located in Mentor.  The Defender Auto Glass team can make repairs at our Mentor facility, or at a specified location by the customer, like their home or place of work.  By using only the finest products available, Defender Auto Glass can have their customers back on the road in an hour or less.

Defender Auto Glass has four full-time glass technicians with a combined 100 plus years of experience in auto glass repair and replacement.  Supporting this talented repair team is an office and branch manager that add an additional 40 years of experience in the industry.

Get the quality you deserve with the value you want when replacing or repairing your vehicle’s glass.  Contact the skilled and trusted team at Defender Auto Glass today and give us the opportunity to serve you.
