Ace Auto Glass

What Ace Auto Glass does

Ace Auto Glass is a family-owned auto glass repair and replacement company founded in 1975 by Frank and Grace Tamaye in Hawaii, now operated by third-generation family members Calvin Tamaye and Evan Tamaye. The company operates 9 retail locations across Oahu, Maui, Kauai, the Big Island, and Guam, supplemented by mobile windshield service that travels to customer sites throughout the region. Its core technical capability is ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) camera recalibration following windshield replacement, for which it is the only statewide provider in Hawaii, alongside AGSC-certified technicians following Auto Glass Safety Council standards. Service revenue is generated per job through windshield chip repair, full windshield and auto glass replacement (doors, back glass, sunroofs, side mirrors, power windows), and specialty work on boats, heavy equipment, tractors, cranes, and vintage cars. The business model combines walk-in retail, mobile field service, and dedicated fleet account management supported by direct insurance claims handling and a lifetime workmanship warranty against water leaks. Ancillary revenue comes from Ace-branded glass cleaning and coating products sold through its website, with quote-based pricing throughout its core service lines.
