Mobile Glass Repair Service in Nesquehoning Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Exactly how do I know if auto glass damage might be repaired?
This depends on the kind of crack or chip. The best alternative 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 facing a windshield replacement. In either case, we'll team up with you and your insurance company.

Q: What is the difference between OEM and OEE auto glass? Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) auto glass is produced by the same manufacturer as your original glass. Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) auto glass is built to the same benchmarks, but by a different organization. Our customers can choose OEM or OEE.

Q: Does my vehicle have to be in a protected or heated location?
Harsh weather makes auto glass installations complicated without cover. If a protected area is not available, we may need to schedule a different time to repair your car, truck or van.

Q: Can you ensure that a chip or crack that can be fixed will not become bigger during the repair procedure?
No. In some cases, through no error of the repair technician, the attempt to restore a windshield can lead to the chip or crack becoming larger. But, we can ensure that upon completion of a successful repair, the chip or crack will not crack more and the repair will pass any state vehicle inspection, or we will credit the cost of the repair toward a replacement windshield. In the very rare occasion that this occurs, we will credit the cost of the repair work either toward a new windshield or, in case of insurance work, back to the insurance provider.

Q: How will the windshield look after repair?
Your rock chip should become significantly clearer when fixed. However, clearness depends on the size, age, the amount of glass missing from the center, and the amount of fragmented glass inside of the break. Whenever looking through the windshield, vision will not suffer.

Q: Will you be able to replace the stickers that are already on my windshield?
Whenever possible, our trained repair professionals will take excellent care to remove any tags or items that are affixed to your old auto glass and will switch them over to your new windshield in order that you will not lose the information.

Q: Can I get my windshield taken care of if my auto insurance policy does not have glass coverage?
Yes. If your auto insurance policy does not include things like auto glass coverage, then you can just pay us directly for your glass repair or installation. Our services are extremely competitively priced and we accept cash, checks, and credit cards to make payment as simple and convenient as possible.

Q: Are your technicians certified?
All of our technicians are factory trained by SIKA Corporation. SIKA is a thought leader with regards to the Auto Glass Replacement (AGR) direct glazing business sector. All SIKA Auto Glass adhesive systems have been crash tested and go above and beyond rigorous Federal safety standards (FMVSS 212/208). SIKA Training guarantees the proper application of the entire SIKA Adhesive System, which is vital to the safe installation of the new glass in your motor vehicle.

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 difficult to tell if the windshield was prepped in the correct manner if critical primers and proper flash times were used, and even if the proper amount and type of urethane were utilized. Once a windshield is installed all the crucial installation preparation steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it seems like a clean windshield, back glass or other variety of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying correctly you can only suppose it was done right and in truth, 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 properly installed is to crash test it, but we sure don't encourage it.

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 designed and manufactured for optimum protection in the event of a collision. Your windshield is composed 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 between, so it will stay intact in a collision. Tempered glass has been treated to make it much stronger than other glass of the similar thickness. If it breaks, it is designed to shatter into little bits.
