Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if auto glass damage can be corrected?

Q: Precisely what is the distinction between OEM and OEE auto glass? Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) auto glass is made by the same manufacturer as your original glass. Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) auto glass is fabricated to the same standards but by a different corporation. Our customers can choose OEM or OEE.

Q: Does my vehicle have to be in a protected or heated area?
Severe weather makes auto glass installs problematic without cover. When possible, please have shelter available.

Q: Can you ensure that the chip or crack will be undetectable after the repair has been finalized?
No. A windshield chip or crack repair is used to avoid further damage to your windshield auto glass and to reestablish the structural integrity of the vehicle. While each occurrence of damage is unique, with most successful repairs, a slight blemish or imperfection where the impact occurred is typical. In most cases, you should expect the cosmetic appearance of the fix to be an improvement as compared to the damage before the service.

Q: Will I have to wait with my vehicle?
No, you don’t need to wait with your vehicle, but please have your car keys available for the technician.

Q: How soon can you get me in?
In many situations, we can get you booked for same or next day servicing. Simply request an appointment or phone us. We'll get you going as quickly as we can.

Q: How will the windshield look after repair?
Your rock chip should become substantially clearer when fixed. But, clearness 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 glass, vision will not be impaired.

Q: Will you be able to replace the stickers that are currently on my windshield?
Whenever possible, our trained repair professionals will take exceptional care to remove any sticker labels or items that are attached to your old windshield and will switch them over to your new windshield to make sure that you will not lose the information.

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement depends upon the size, location, and degree of the damage. Most of the time, damage may be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, impacts only the outer layer of the windshield, and does not appear directly in the driver's line of vision. But, every case is one-of-a-kind. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be examined immediately.

Q: Does my windshield act as a safeguard?
If your windshield is installed properly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield gives up to 50 percent of the roof crush protection in a roll-over crash. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side airbag in a front end collision. Your windshield is also designed as 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 safety belt on or it were to fail you can be ejected from your car.

Q: How soon can I wash my vehicle after my windshield is changed out?
You can hand wash your vehicle provided you keep high-pressure sprays of water well away from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem whatsoever, actually, the moisture 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 automatic car wash can damage the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has an opportunity to adequately cure. It's also crucial 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 air conditioning is operated within the first 24 hours. Having a window a little bit open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or air conditioner builds up 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 adequately if critical primers and appropriate flash times were used, as well as if the proper amount and type of urethane was applied. Once a windshield is installed all the critical installation groundwork steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears to be a clean windshield, back glass, or another type of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying properly you can only presume 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.
