Q: How much time will my auto glass repair or replacement take?
In some cases, windshield repairs may be handled in a half an hour or less. Windshield installations will often take 60 minutes or less; however, we advise that you do not drive the motor vehicle for about one hour after the replacement service is done.

Q: Are there any out of pocket costs to get my auto glass restored?
The answer is dependent on your insurance coverage. For glass repairs, most auto insurance companies waive the deductible so you will not have to pay any out of pocket. In truth, many insurance providers do not even count glass repairs as a claim. For glass replacement, you may not need to pay anything if your auto insurance policy includes full glass coverage. Having said that, if your policy includes a deductible for glass replacement, then you will be accountable for the deductible amount and your insurance provider will be responsible for any money over the deductible amount.

Q: Does my windshield act as a safeguard?
If your windshield is installed correctly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield provides up to 50% of the roof crush protection in a roll-over accident. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side airbag in a front end impact. Your windshield is also designed as being 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 seat belt on or it were to fail you could be ejected from your automobile.

Q: How soon can I wash my vehicle after my windshield is removed and replaced?
You can hand wash your motor vehicle provided you keep high-pressure sprays of water away from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem at all, in truth the dampness actually helps the curing process of the urethane adhesive sealant. You should wait a minimum of 24 hours before washing your vehicle in a high-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 have a possibility to sufficiently cure. It's also vital to leave at least one of the windows open about 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or a/c is operated within the first 24 hours. Having a window a little open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or ac system builds up inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, leading to an air or water leak.

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 motor vehicle. If diminished as a result of untended damage, it will not supply optimal protection in a traffic collision. Many small chips or surface cracks only have an effect on the outer layer of the windshield, so it can be fixed before it gets any worse and requires more money and time to fix.

Q: What's the difference between glass in a windshield and other window glass?
Auto glass is developed and manufactured for optimum safety in case of an accident. Your windshield is composed of laminated safety glass. The side and rear windows are made 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 a crash. 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 little pieces.
