Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Exactly how do I figure out if auto glass damage can be fixed?
This depends upon the type of crack or chip. The most effective alternative is to phone us and we will examine the chip or crack. We'll let you know if it is a fix that can be made or if you are dealing with a windshield replacement. On either occasion, we'll team up with you and your insurance provider.

Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) automobile glass is manufactured to the same standards but by a different manufacturer. Our customers can choose either option.

Q: How much time will my vehicle glass repair or replacement take?
In a lot of cases, windshield repairs can be achieved in 30 minutes or less. Windshield installations will often take an hour or less; however, we suggest that you do not operate the vehicle for at least one hour after the service is completed.

Q: How long will it be before I can confidently drive my vehicle?
You can usually drive one hour after a windshield installation, or straight away after a fix or side window replacement. Our repair professionals use the most reliable materials, including the marketplace's first adhesive with a one-hour drive-away time for windshield installations. The repair professional will advise you if any added time is needed.

Q: My rearview mirror is attached to my windshield. Will the technician attach it to the new windshield?
Yes, our auto glass technicians will remove your rearview mirror and attach it to your new windshield.

Q: Can you warrant that a chip or crack that may be fixed will not become bigger during the repair process?
No. In some cases, through no negligence of the repair professional, the attempt to restore a windshield can result in the chip or crack ending up being larger. But, we can certify that upon completion of a successful repair, the chip or crack will not crack more and that the repair will pass any state vehicle inspection, or we will credit the cost of the repair toward a replacement windshield. In the very rare event that this occurs, we will credit the cost of the repair work either towards a new windshield or, in case of insurance work, back to the insurance company.

Q: How will the windshield look after repair?
Your rock chip should become significantly clearer when repaired. However, clarity is dependent upon the size, age, the amount of glass missing from the center, and the quantity of fragmented glass inside the break. Whenever looking through the windshield, optics will not be impaired.

Q: Will you replace the labels that are currently on my windshield?
When possible, our trained repair professionals will take exceptional care to remove any tags or items that are fastened to your old auto glass and will switch them over to your new windshield to make sure that you will not lose the info.

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement depends on the size, location, and degree of the problem. In many cases, damage may be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, affects only the outer layer of the windshield, and does not show up directly in the driver's line of sight. Nonetheless, every case is one-of-a-kind. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be taken a look at promptly.

Q: Does my windshield act as a safeguard?
If your windshield is installed properly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield supplies up to 50% of the roof crush protection in a rollover collision. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side airbag in a front end accident. Your windshield is also designed being one of the main safety restraint systems in your vehicle. If your windshield were to pop out in a collision or rollover and you did not have your seat belt on or it were to fail you may be ejected from your motor vehicle.

Q: After I have my windshield replaced, how do I know if it was done right?
You don't! Without removing the windshield, it's unfeasible to tell if the windshield was prepared in the correct manner, if critical primers and correct flash times were used, as well as if the proper quantity and type of urethane were applied. Once an auto glass is installed all the vital installation preparation steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears like a clean windshield, back glass, or another type of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying correctly you can only presume it was done right and in reality those things are only cosmetic, it's what is underneath and when and how it was performed during the replacement installation process that counts. The only sure way to tell if a windshield or other type of auto glass is properly installed is to crash test it, but we sure don't advise it.

Q: What will the auto glass shop most likely ask me when I call?
We need to know who your insurance company is and the year, make, and model of your vehicle, the type of damage you have, and when and where you need the work performed.
