Mobile Glass Repair Service in New Tripoli Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Exactly how do I learn if auto glass damage can possibly be restored?
This hinges on the sort of crack or chip. The most effective option is to get in touch with us and we will check the damage. We'll let you know if it is a repair that could be made or if you are being confronted by a windshield replacement. On either occasion, we'll coordinate with you and your insurance company.

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 corporation. Our customers can choose either option.

Q: How long will my vehicle glass repair or replacement take?
In some cases, windshield repairs can be performed in half an hour or less. Windshield installations will often take an hour or less; however, we recommend that you do not drive the automobile for about one hour after the service is finished.

Q: Does my vehicle need to be in an enclosed or heated area?
Severe 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 confirm that the chip or crack will be unnoticeable after the repair has been finalized?
No. A windshield chip or crack patch is used to prevent further damage to your windshield auto 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 normal. In many cases, you should expect the cosmetic appearance of the fix to show some improvement as compared to the damage before the service.

Q: Will you vacuum my vehicle after service?
Yes, our technicians will vacuum any pieces of broken auto glass in your vehicle.

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

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

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement hinges on the size, location, and degree of the problem. Most of the time, damage can be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, impacts only the outer layer of the windshield, and does not show up directly in the driver's line of sight. Having said that, every case is one-of-a-kind. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be taken a look at promptly.

Q: Can I get my windshield corrected if my auto insurance policy does not have glass coverage?
Yes. If your auto insurance coverage does not include things like auto glass coverage, then you can just pay us directly for your glass repair service or installation. Our supports are competitively priced and we accept cash, checks, and credit cards making payment as simple and hassle-free as possible.

Q: What kind of parts do you use for your glass services?
We use the best quality glass, moulding, urethanes, and other installment materials to conserve and strengthen the safety features of your windshield.

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 properly if critical primers and correct flash times were used, and even if the proper quantity and type of urethane was utilized. Once a windshield is installed all the essential installation preparation steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears like a clean windshield, back glass, or another kind of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying correctly you can only suppose it was done right and in reality 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: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You really shouldn't postpone. The windshield is a significant skeletal element of your automobile. If weakened as a result of untended damage, it will not supply optimal protection in a car accident. Many small chips or surface cracks only have an effect on the outer layer of the windshield, so it can be mended before it gets any more serious and demands more time and money to fix.

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 protection in case of an accident. 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 in between, so it will stay intact in an accident. 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 bits.
