Service area
In brief: Low Price Auto Glass lists 15 Lake County, Indiana communities, from Hammond and Whiting to Crown Point and Lowell, and four Illinois suburbs: Calumet City, Lansing, Dolton and Harvey[1].
Which communities does the shop list?
The shop’s website has a page for windshield replacement in each of these places[1]:
| State | Communities |
|---|---|
| Indiana (Lake County) | Hammond, East Chicago, Whiting, Gary, Munster, Highland, Griffith, Dyer, Schererville, St. John, Merrillville, Crown Point, Cedar Lake, Winfield, Lowell |
| Illinois (Cook County) | Calumet City, Lansing, Dolton, Harvey |
That is 15 Indiana communities and 4 in Illinois. The About page sums it up as “the Lake County area”[2].
What is Hammond like?
Hammond is a city of 77,879 people (2020 census) in Lake County, Indiana, and the only Indiana city that borders Chicago[3]. It runs from Lake Michigan south to the Little Calumet River, and from the Illinois line east to Cline Avenue. Railroads and expressways cross it, including the South Shore Line, the Borman Expressway and the Indiana Toll Road; landmarks include Wolf Lake and the Horseshoe Hammond casino[3]. The shop’s own page about the city mentions the same two landmarks and the local nickname “the Region”[4].
Why do local roads matter for glass?
Heavy truck traffic on the Borman (I-80/94) and the Toll Road (I-90), and older industrial streets, mean flying stones and debris are a constant risk[3]. Winter adds road salt and sand, and pothole season follows the spring thaw. NOAA’s Storm Events Database logged 35 hail reports and 175 thunderstorm wind reports in Lake County from 2015 to July 2026[5]; see Lake County severe weather.
Does Indiana or Illinois law apply?
The rules of the state where you drive apply on the road. Indiana’s windshield, obstruction and tint rules are in Indiana Code 9-19-19[6][7]; Illinois has its own vehicle code. A car registered in Illinois but driven in Indiana is subject to Indiana traffic law while there. See Indiana windshield laws.
Can work be done outside Hammond?
The shop says it can come to a home or business and even to the roadside[2][8]. It does not publish a mileage limit or a mobile fee. Ask when booking, especially for addresses in the southern part of the county, such as Lowell or Cedar Lake, which are 25 miles or more from Summer Street.
