Q: How will the windshield look after repair?
Your rock chip should become substantially clearer when repaired. Having said that, clearness depends on the size, age, the amount of glass missing from the center, and the amount of fragmented glass inside the break. When looking through the windshield, vision should not suffer.

Yes. If your auto insurance policy does not contain auto glass coverage, then you can just pay us directly for your glass repair or replacement. Our supports are really competitively priced and we accept cash, checks and credit cards to make payment as easy and convenient as possible.

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

Q: Does my windshield protect me?
If your windshield is installed properly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield gives up to 50 percent of the roof crush protection in a roll-over collision. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side airbag in a front end collision. Your windshield is also designed as being one of the main safety restraint systems in your vehicle. 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 may be ejected from your vehicle.

Q: How soon can I wash my automobile after my windshield is changed out?
You can hand wash your automobile provided that you keep high-pressure sprays of water faraway 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 automated car wash can ruin the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has an opportunity to adequately cure. It's also essential to leave at least one of the windows open a minimum of 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 slightly open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or air conditioner develops inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, creating an air or water leak.

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 difficult to tell if the windshield was prepared in the correct manner, if critical primers and appropriate flash times were used, or even if the proper portion and type of urethane was used. Once an auto glass is installed all the essential installation preparation steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it looks like a clean windshield, back glass, or another kind of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying properly 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 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.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You certainly shouldn't postpone. The windshield is a significant structural element of your vehicle. If diminished because of untended damage, it will not offer optimal protection in an accident. Many small chips or surface cracks only impair the outer layer of the windshield, so it may possibly be mended before it gets any more severe and requires more resources 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.
