Mobile Glass Repair Service in Kempton Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: By what means do I know if auto glass damage can be restored?
This depends on the sort of crack or chip. The best alternative is to get in touch with us and we will inspect the chip or crack. We'll let you know if it is a repair that could be made or if you are dealing with a windshield replacement. In either event, we'll collaborate with you and your insurance provider.

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

Q: Can you confirm that the chip or crack will be unnoticeable after the repair has been carried out?
No. A windshield chip or crack fix is used to prevent further damage to your windshield 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 blemish or imperfection where the impact happened is common. In many cases, you should expect the cosmetic appearance of the patch to be an improvement as compared with the damage prior to the service.

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement depends on the size, location, and degree of the damage. In most cases, damage can be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, impacts only the outer layer of glass, and does not show up directly in the driver's line of vision. But, every case is one-of-a-kind. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be taken a look at without delay.

Q: What kind of parts do you use for your glass services?
We use the best quality glass, moulding, urethanes, and other replacement materials to preserve and improve the safety characteristics of your windshield.

Q: Does my windshield really protect me?
If your windshield is installed correctly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield provides 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 impact. 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 can be ejected from your car.

Q: How soon can I wash my automobile after my windshield is changed out?
You can hand wash your motor vehicle as long as you keep high-pressure sprays of water away from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem whatsoever, in fact, 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 high-pressure type of car or truck wash. A high-pressure automatic car wash can damage the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has a chance to completely cure. It's also necessary 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 day. Having a window slightly open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or ac system develops inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, triggering an air or water leak.

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 developed and produced for optimum safety 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 in 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 tiny pieces.
