Mobile Glass Repair Service in Pocono Lake Preserve Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I learn if auto glass damage may be fixed?
This depends on the type of crack or chip. The best alternative is to phone us and we will look at the damage. We'll let you know if it is a repair that can be made or if you are encountering a windshield replacement. In either occasion, we'll team up with you and your insurance provider.

Q: How much time will my vehicle glass repair work or replacement take?
In a lot of cases, windshield repairs are performed in half an hour or less. Windshield installations will often take 1 hour or less; however, we recommend that you do not drive the motor vehicle for at least one hour after the service is done.

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 affirm that a chip or crack that can be repaired will not end up being bigger during the repair activity?
No. Sometimes, through no fault of the repair service technician, the attempt to fix a windshield can lead to the chip or crack getting larger. However, we can guarantee 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 takes place, we will credit the cost of the repair either toward a new windshield or, in the event of insurance work, back to the insurance provider.

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: After the repair is completed, how will my windshield look?
Your rock chip should become significantly clearer when mended. That being said, clarity depends on the size, age, the amount of glass missing from the center, and the amount of fragmented glass inside the break. When looking through the glass, optics should not be impaired.

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 can be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, impacts only the outer layer of glass, and does not appear directly in the driver's view. However, every case is one-of-a-kind. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be examined as soon as possible.

Q: Can I get my windshield taken care of if my auto insurance does not have glass coverage?
Yes. If your auto insurance policy does not include auto glass coverage, then you can just pay us directly for your glass repair service or replacement. Our supports are competitively priced and we accept cash, checks, and credit cards making payment as easy and hassle-free as possible.

Q: Are your technicians certified?

All SIKA Auto Glass adhesive systems have been crash tested and surpass rigorous Federal safety standards (FMVSS 212/208). SIKA Training ensures the proper application of the entire SIKA Adhesive System, which is essential to the safe installment of the new glass in your vehicle.

Q: How soon can I wash my car after my windshield is replaced?
You can hand wash your vehicle 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 point of fact 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 high-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 possibility to adequately 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 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, creating 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 correctly if critical primers and appropriate flash times were used, and even if the proper quantity and type of urethane was applied. Once an auto glass is installed all the vital installation preparation steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it seems like a clean windshield, back glass, or another type 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 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 encourage 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.

Q: What's the difference between glass in a windshield and other window glass?
Auto glass is made and manufactured for optimum protection in the event of an accident. Your windshield is made 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 in one piece in an accident. Tempered glass has been treated to make it much stronger than other glass of the same thickness. If it breaks, it is designed to shatter into small bits.
