Mobile Glass Repair Service in Weatherly Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Q: Is there any significant difference between OEM and OEE auto glass? Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) glass is produced by the same manufacturer as your original glass. Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) glass is built to the same criteria but by a different organization. Our customers can choose OEM or OEE.

Q: How long will my auto glass repair service or replacement take?
In some cases, windshield repairs may be performed in 30 minutes or less. Windshield replacements will often take 60 minutes or less; however, we recommend that you do not drive the vehicle for about one hour after the replacement service is completed.

Q: How long before I can confidently drive my motor vehicle?
You can usually drive one hour after a windshield auto glass replacement, or without delay after a fix or side window installation. Our experts use the most reliable materials, including the industry's first adhesive with a one-hour drive-away time for windshield installations. The repair professional will instruct you if any added time is required.

Q: Will you vacuum my vehicle after service?
Yes, our technicians will vacuum any pieces of broken auto glass in your vehicle.

Q: How soon can you get me in?
In many instances, we can get you scheduled for same or next day repairs. Simply request an appointment or phone us. We'll get you serviced quickly as possible.

Q: Will you replace the labels that are already on my windshield?
When possible, our trained repair professionals will take excellent care to remove any stickers or items that are affixed to your old auto glass and will switch them over to your new windshield to ensure you will not lose the information.

Q: Are your technicians certified?
Each one of our repair professionals are factory educated by SIKA Corporation. SIKA is a thought leader with regards to the Auto Glass Replacement (AGR) direct glazing business sector. All SIKA Auto Glass adhesive systems have been crash tested and extend past rigorous Federal safety standards (FMVSS 212/208). SIKA Training guarantees the proper application of the entire SIKA Adhesive System, which is critical to the safe installment of the new glass in your motor vehicle.

Q: How quickly can I wash my motor vehicle after my windshield is removed and replaced?
You can hand wash your car provided that you keep high-pressure sprays of water faraway from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem at all, as a matter of fact, the dampness actually helps the curing process of the urethane adhesive sealant. You should wait at least 24 hours before washing your vehicle in a pressure type of car or truck wash. A high-pressure automated car wash can harm the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has a chance to sufficiently cure. It's also essential to leave at least one of the windows open a minimum of 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or a/c is operated within the first 24 hours. Having a window a little open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or ac system develops inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, causing an air or water leak.

Q: After I have my windshield replaced, how do I know if it was done right?
You don't! In the absence of removing the windshield, it's difficult to tell if the windshield was prepped appropriately, if critical primers and correct flash times were used, or even if the proper amount and type of urethane was utilized. Once a windshield is installed all the critical installation preparation steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears to be a clean windshield, back glass, or another sort of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying the right way you can only guess it was done right, and truthfully those things are only cosmetic, it's what is underneath and when and how it was done 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 recommend 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.
