Mobile Glass Repair Service in Trexlertown Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I recognize if auto glass damage can possibly be restored?
This depends upon the variety of crack or chip. The absolute best choice is to call us and we will inspect the damage. We'll let you know if it is a fix that could be made or if you are facing a windshield replacement. In either case, we'll collaborate with you and your insurance agency.

Q: How long will it be before I can confidently operate my car or truck?
You can usually drive away one hour after a windshield installation, or without delay after a repair or side window installation. Our service technicians use the best materials, including the industry's first adhesive with a one-hour drive-away time for windshield installations. The service tech will instruct you if any more time is needed.

Q: Does my vehicle need to be in a protected or heated location?
Inclement weather makes auto glass installs difficult without cover. If a protected area is not available, we may need to reschedule to repair your car, truck, or van.

Q: Can you ensure that a chip or crack that can be mended will not become bigger during the repair process?
No. In some cases, through no error of the repair service technician, the attempt to fix an auto glass can result in the chip or crack getting larger. However, we can certify that upon completion of a successful repair, the chip or crack will not crack more, and also the repair will pass any state vehicle inspection, or we will credit the cost of the repair toward a replacement. On the very rare occasion that this occurs, we will credit the cost of the repair service either towards a new windshield or, in case of insurance work, back to the insurance provider.

Q: How soon can you see me?
In many instances, we can get you set up for the same or next day servicing. Simply ask for an appointment or give us a ring. We'll get you serviced promptly as possible.

Q: Will you be able to replace the tags that are already on my windshield?
Whenever possible, our trained technicians will take great care to remove any sticker labels or items that are fastened to your old windshield and will switch them over to your new windshield to make sure that you will not lose the information.

Q: Are there any out of pocket costs to have my windshield taken care of?
The answer depends upon your insurance coverage. For glass repairs, most auto insurance companies waive the deductible so you will not need to pay anything out of pocket. In fact, many insurance companies do not even count glass repairs as a claim. For glass replacement, you may not have to pay anything if your auto insurance plan includes full glass coverage. But, if your policy includes a deductible for glass replacement, then you will be responsible for the deductible amount and your insurance provider will pay any money over the deductible.

Q: Can I get my windshield fixed if my auto insurance does not have glass coverage?
Yes. If your auto insurance coverage does not include auto glass coverage, then you can just pay us directly for your glass repair service or installation. Our supports are very competitively priced and we accept cash, checks, and credit cards to make payment as simple and convenient as possible.

Q: What kind of parts do you use for your glass services?
We use the finest glass, moulding, urethanes, and other replacement materials to maintain and strengthen the safety qualities of your windshield.

Q: Does my windshield act as a safeguard?
If your windshield is installed correctly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield supplies up to 50% 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 impact. 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 could be ejected from your motor vehicle.

Q: How quickly can I wash my vehicle after my windshield is removed and replaced?
You can hand wash your motor vehicle just as long as 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 in any way, in reality, the moisture actually helps the curing process of the urethane adhesive sealant. You should wait a minimum of 24 hours before washing your vehicle in a high-pressure type of car or truck wash. A high-pressure automated car wash can weaken the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has a chance to completely cure. It's also necessary to leave at least one of the windows open at the very least 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or cooling is operated within the first day. Having a window a little open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or a/c unit builds up inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, creating an air or water leak.

Q: What's the difference between glass in a windshield and other window glass?
Auto glass is developed and produced for optimum safety in case of an accident. Your windshield is composed of laminated safety glass. The side and rear windows are comprised of tempered glass. Laminated safety glass is two pieces of glass with a layer of vinyl sandwiched between, so it will stay intact in a collision. Tempered glass has been treated to make it much stronger than other glass of a similar thickness. If it breaks, it is designed to shatter into little bits.
