Q: After I have my windshield replaced, how do I know if it was done right?
You don't! Without removing the auto glass, it's unfeasible to tell if the windshield was prepped adequately, if critical primers and proper flash times were used, or even if the proper quantity and type of urethane was utilized. Once an auto glass is installed all the integral installation groundwork steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears like a clean windshield, back glass, or another type of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying correctly you can only suppose 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.

Yes, we can replace the door glass, vents, back glass, quarter glass.

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 manufactured for optimum protection in case of a collision. 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 in between, so it will stay intact 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 pieces.
