Mobile Glass Repair Service in Scotrun Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: By what means do I recognize if auto glass damage may possibly be corrected?
This depends on the variety of crack or chip. The absolute best solution is to call us and we will assess the chip or crack. We'll let you know if it is a repair that can be made or if you are encountering a windshield replacement. In either event, we'll team up with you and your insurance provider.

Q: How long will my auto glass repair or replacement take?
In some cases, windshield repairs are performed in half an hour or less. Windshield installations will often take 1 hour or less; however, we advise that you do not drive the automobile for about one hour after the replacement service is done.

Q: How long before I can safely operate my car?
You can usually drive one hour after a windshield installation, or immediately after a fix or side window installation. Our repair professionals 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 forewarn you if any more time is required.

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 ensure that the chip or crack will be clear after the repair has been finalized?
No. A windshield chip or crack patch is used to prevent further damage to your glass and to restore the structural soundness of the vehicle. While each occurrence of damage is one-of-a-kind, with most successful repairs, a slight spot or imperfection where the impact took place is typical. In many cases, you should expect the cosmetic appearance of the repair to be an improvement as compared with the damage prior to the fix.

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

Q: Will you replace the labels that are already on my windshield?
Whenever possible, our trained technicians will take great care to remove any stickers 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 auto glass fixed?
The answer is dependent on your insurance plan coverage. For glass repairs, most auto insurance companies waive the insurance deductible so you will not have to pay any out of pocket. As a matter of fact, many insurance providers do not even count glass repairs as a claim. For glass replacement, you may not need to pay anything if your auto insurance plan includes full glass coverage. However, if your policy includes a deductible for glass replacement, then you will be accountable for the deductible amount and your insurance provider will be responsible for any money over the deductible.

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

Q: Are your technicians certified?
Each of our service technicians is factory trained 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 meet or exceed 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 installation of the new glass in your motor vehicle.

Q: How quickly can I wash my automobile after my windshield is changed?
You can hand wash your car 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 at all, actually, 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 weaken 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 important 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 bit open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or air conditioning unit develops inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, triggering an air or water leak.

Q: After I have my windshield replaced, how do I know if it was done right?
You don't! Without removing the windshield, it's difficult to tell if the windshield was prepped adequately if critical primers and right flash times were used, as well as if the proper quantity and type of urethane was applied. Once a windshield is installed all the important installation groundwork steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it looks like a clean windshield, back glass, or another sort of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying correctly 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: Is there a difference between my windshield and the other glass in the car?
Yes, there is. Windshield glass is laminated safety glass, designed to react differently in an auto accident, where the sides and rear are often tempered glass.

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 designed and produced for optimum protection in the event of an accident. Your windshield is made of 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 in between, so it will stay intact in a crash. 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 tiny bits.
