Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Exactly how do I learn if auto glass damage can be fixed?
This depends on the kind of crack or chip. The most reliable option is to call us and we will examine the damage. We'll let you know if it is a repair that could be made or if you are facing a windshield replacement. In either case, we'll collaborate with you and your insurance company.

Q: Does my vehicle need to be in a covered or heated area?
Inclement weather makes auto glass installs problematic without cover. In these conditions, please have your vehicle in a protected area.

Q: Can you make certain that the chip or crack will be clear after the repair has been performed?
No. A windshield chip or crack fix is used to reduce further damage to your windshield and to reestablish the structural stability of the vehicle. While each occurrence of damage is unique, with most successful repairs, a slight blemish or imperfection where the impact happened is typical. In most cases, you should expect the cosmetic appearance of the repair to show some improvement as compared to the damage before the repair.

Q: Can you warrant that a chip or crack that can be repaired will not become bigger during the repair process?
No. Sometimes, through no fault of the repair mechanic, the attempt to mend an auto glass can lead to the chip or crack ending up being larger. But, we can certify that upon completion of a successful repair, the chip or crack will not crack further and that the repair will successfully pass any state vehicle inspection, or we will credit the cost of the repair toward a replacement. On the very rare occasion that this happens, we will credit the cost of the repair work either towards a new windshield or, in the event of insurance work, back to the insurance company.

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

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

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement hinges on the size, location, and degree of the damages. In many cases, damage can possibly 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 line of sight. But, every case is unique. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be evaluated promptly.

Q: Are your technicians certified?
All of our specialists are factory educated by SIKA Corporation. SIKA is a thought leader with regards to the Auto Glass Replacement (AGR) direct glazing industry. All SIKA Auto Glass adhesive systems have been crash tested and meet or exceed rigorous Federal safety standards (FMVSS 212/208). SIKA Training makes sure that the proper application of the entire SIKA Adhesive System, which is critical to the safe installation of the new glass in your motor vehicle.

Q: Does my windshield act as a safeguard?
If your windshield is installed correctly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield gives up to 50% of the roof crush protection in a roll-over collision. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side air bag in a front end impact. Your windshield is also designed to be one of the main safety restraint systems in your automobile. If your windshield were to pop out in an accident or rollover and you did not have your seat belt on or it were to fail you might be ejected from your car.

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 unfeasible to tell if the windshield was prepped the right way if critical primers and right flash times were used, as well as if the proper amount and type of urethane was applied. Once a windshield is installed all the vital installation preparation steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears to be a clean windshield, back glass or other variety of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying the right way you can only presume it was done right, and actually, 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 correctly installed is to crash test it, but we sure don't encourage it.

Q: Can you replace the other auto glass on my vehicle?
Yes, we can replace the door glass, vents, back glass, quarter glass.
