Mobile Glass Repair Service in Germansville Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: By what means do I know if auto glass damage can be corrected?
This depends upon the type of crack or chip. The most effective choice is to phone 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 dealing with a windshield replacement. In either event, we'll team up with you and your insurance agency.

Q: Is there any major difference between OEM and OEE auto glass? Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) auto glass is manufactured by the same manufacturer as your original glass. Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) auto glass is fabricated to the same benchmarks but by a different company. Our customers can choose either option.

Q: How long will it be before I can confidently operate my vehicle?
You can usually drive one hour after a windshield replacement, or immediately after a repair or side window replacement. Our service technicians use the absolute best materials, including the industry's first adhesive with a one-hour drive-away time for windshield installations. The service tech will forewarn you if any additional time is required.

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

Q: Can you confirm that a chip or crack that may be mended will not become bigger during the repair activity?
No. In some cases, through no fault of the repair specialist, the attempt to fix a windshield can result in the chip or crack ending up being larger. Having said that, we can guarantee that upon completion of a successful repair, the chip or crack will not crack more and that the repair will successfully pass any state vehicle inspection, or we will credit the cost of the repair toward a replacement windshield. In the very rare event that this takes place, we will credit the cost of the repair work either towards a new windshield or, in case of insurance work, back to the insurance company.

Q: How will the windshield look after repair?
Your rock chip should become substantially clearer when fixed. Having said that, clarity depends on the size, age, the amount of glass missing from the center, and the amount of fragmented glass within the break. Whenever looking through the windshield, optics will not be impaired.

Q: Will you be able to replace the sticker labels that are already on my windshield?
When possible, our trained repair professionals will take excellent care to remove any tags or items that are fastened to your old auto glass and will switch them over to your new windshield to ensure that you will not lose the info.

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement hinges on the size, location, and degree of the problem. In most cases, damage can be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, affects only the outer layer of glass, and does not show up directly in the driver's line of sight. Nonetheless, every case is unique. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be looked at promptly.

Q: Are there any out of pocket expenses to have my windshield repaired?
The answer depends on your insurance coverage. For glass repair services, most auto insurance companies waive the deductible so you will not need to pay anything 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 coverage includes full glass coverage. Having said that, 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: Does my windshield protect me?
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 car accident. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side airbag in a front end crash. Your windshield is also designed as being one of the main safety restraint systems in your automobile. If your windshield were to pop out in a collision or rollover and you did not have your seat belt on or it were to fail you might be ejected from your automobile.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You certainly shouldn't prolong. The windshield is a critical structural element of your vehicle. If weakened because of untended damage, it will not offer optimal protection in a car accident. Many small chips or surface cracks only impair the outer layer of the windshield, so it can be mended before it gets any more serious and demands more time and money to repair.

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.
