Mobile Glass Repair Service in Freeland Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I recognize if auto glass damage may be repaired?
This hinges on the kind of crack or chip. The most effective choice is to call us and we will examine the chip or crack. We'll let you know if it is a repair that can be made or if you are being confronted by a windshield replacement. On either occasion, we'll collaborate with you and your insurance agency.

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

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

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: Are there any out of pocket expenses to get my windshield repaired?
The answer is dependent on your insurance plan coverage. For glass repair services, most auto insurance companies waive the deductible so you will not need to pay anything out of pocket. In fact, many insurance providers do not even count glass repairs as a claim. For glass installation, you may not have to pay anything out of pocket if your auto insurance includes full glass coverage. But, if your policy includes a deductible for glass replacement, then you will be accountable for the deductible amount and your auto insurance provider will pay any money over the deductible amount.

Q: Does my windshield act as a safeguard?
If your windshield is installed properly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield offers 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 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 an accident 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 removed and replaced?
You can hand wash your automobile provided that 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 at all, in reality, 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 automatic car wash can ruin the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation have an opportunity to adequately cure. It's also important to leave at least one of the windows open about 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 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, leading to an air or water leak.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You really should never delay. The windshield is a very important skeletal element of your car. If diminished caused by untended damage, it will not provide optimal protection in a traffic collision. Many small chips or surface cracks only impair the outer layer of the windshield, so it can be repaired before it gets any more severe and necessitates more money and time to correct.

Q: What's the difference between glass in a windshield and other window glass?
Auto glass is made and produced for optimum protection in the event of an accident. Your windshield is constructed from laminated safety glass. The side and rear windows are made 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 crash. 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.
