Mobile Glass Repair Service in Mahanoy City Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: By what means do I find out if auto glass damage can possibly be fixed?
This depends on the variety of crack or chip. The best solution is to get in touch with us and we will check out the chip or crack. We'll let you know if it is a fix that can be made or if you are being confronted by a windshield replacement. In either event, we'll partner with you and your insurance provider.

Q: Does my vehicle need to be in an enclosed or heated area?
Harsh weather makes auto glass installations complicated without cover. If a protected area is not available, we may need to reschedule to repair your vehicle.

Q: Can you guarantee that the chip or crack will be invisible after the repair has been finalized?
No. A windshield chip or crack repair is used to prevent further damage to your glass and to restore the structural soundness of the vehicle. While each incident of damage is one-of-a-kind, with most successful repairs, a slight mark or imperfection where the impact happened is typical. Most of the time, you should expect the cosmetic appearance of the patch to be an improvement as compared with the damage before the mend.

Q: Can you warrant that a chip or crack that can be fixed will not become bigger during the repair activity?
No. In some cases, through no fault of the repair professional, the attempt to restore 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. In the very rare event that this occurs, 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 provider.

Q: Will any part of my vehicle be harmed during the repair or replacement process?
No, your vehicle should not be damaged during the repair or replacement. We use precautionary measures, such as protective drapes, to ensure that no damage occurs during your auto glass service.

Q: How soon can you get started on repairing my auto glass?
In many times, we can get you booked for same or next day service. Simply ask for an appointment or contact us. We'll get you going as quickly as we can.

Q: After the repair is completed, how will my windshield look?
Your rock chip should become substantially clearer when mended. But, clarity depends on the size, age, the amount of glass missing from the center, and the quantity of fragmented glass inside of the break. When looking through the windshield, optics should not suffer.

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

Q: Are your technicians certified?
Each of our technicians is factory instructed 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 rise above rigorous Federal safety standards (FMVSS 212/208). SIKA Training guarantees 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 properly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield gives up to 50 percent of the roof crush protection in a rollover accident. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side airbag in a front end accident. 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 safety belt on or it were to fail you could be ejected from your vehicle.

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 prepared adequately, if critical primers and right flash times were used, and even if the proper amount and type of urethane was used. Once an auto glass is installed all the crucial installation groundwork steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears like a clean windshield, back glass, or another sort of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying properly you can only presume it was done right, and truthfully 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 advise it.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You definitely should not postpone. The windshield is a critical skeletal element of your automobile. If diminished due to untended damage, it will not offer optimal protection in a crash. Many small chips or surface cracks only affect the outer layer of the windshield, so it can possibly be mended before it gets any more serious and requires more money and time to repair.
