Mobile Glass Repair Service in Slatington Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: By what means do I find out if auto glass damage may be repaired?
This depends upon the type of crack or chip. The most effective choice is to get in touch with us and we will examine the damage. We'll let you know if it is a repair that could be made or if you are encountering a windshield replacement. In either case, we'll team up with you and your insurance provider.

Q: Is there any significant difference between OEM and OEE auto glass? Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) auto glass is fabricated by the same manufacturer as your original glass. Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) automobile glass is built to the same specifications, but by a different manufacturer. Our customers can choose either option.

Q: How long before I can safely operate my motor vehicle?
You can usually drive one hour after a windshield installation, or instantly after a fix or side window installation. Our experts use the most reliable materials, including the marketplace's first adhesive with a one-hour drive-away time for windshield installations. The specialist will forewarn you if any added time is required.

Q: Does my vehicle have to be indoors?
Inclement weather makes auto glass installations difficult without cover. If a protected area is not available, we may need to reschedule to repair your car, truck, or van.

Q: My rearview mirror is attached to my windshield. Will the technician attach it to the new windshield?
Yes, our auto glass technicians will remove your rearview mirror and attach it to your new windshield.

Q: Can you affirm that a chip or crack that can be mended will not become larger during the repair activity?
No. Sometimes, through no fault of the repair specialist, the attempt to fix a windshield can lead to the chip or crack getting larger. However, we can ensure 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 happens, we will credit the cost of the repair service either toward a new windshield or, in the event of insurance work, back to the insurance company.

Q: Will you replace the tags that are already on my windshield?
Whenever possible, our trained technicians will take great care to remove any stickers or items that are attached to your old auto glass and will switch them over to your new windshield in order that you will not lose the info.

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement is dependent on the size, location, and degree of the damages. In many cases, 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. Nevertheless, every case is unique. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be examined without delay.

Q: Are there any out of pocket expenses to get my windshield repaired?
The answer depends upon your insurance plan coverage. For glass repair services, most auto insurance companies waive the insurance deductible so you will not need to pay anything out of pocket. In truth, many insurance companies do not even count glass repairs as a claim. For glass replacement, you may not need to pay anything if your auto insurance coverage includes full glass coverage. However, if your policy includes a deductible for glass replacement, then you will be accountable for the deductible amount and your auto insurance provider will pay any money over the deductible amount.

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

Q: Does my windshield really protect me?
If your windshield is installed correctly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield offers up to 50% 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 impact. Your windshield is also designed to be 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 could be ejected from your vehicle.

Q: How quickly can I wash my vehicle after my windshield is removed and replaced?
You can hand wash your 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 whatsoever, actually, the wetness actually helps the curing process of the urethane adhesive sealant. You should wait a minimum of 24 hours before washing your vehicle in a pressure type of car or truck wash. A high-pressure automated car wash can harm the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has a possibility to completely cure. It's also necessary to leave at least one of the windows open at the very least 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or air conditioning is operated within the first 24 hours. Having a window slightly open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or a/c unit develops inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, creating an air or water leak.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You truly should not delay. The windshield is an important skeletal element of your automobile. If diminished caused by untended damage, it will not provide 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 severe and calls for more time and money to correct.
