Mobile Glass Repair Service in Summit Hill Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I recognize if auto glass damage may possibly be restored?
This depends on the variety of crack or chip. The absolute best choice is to phone us and we will check out the damage. We'll let you know if it is a repair that could be made or if you are facing a windshield replacement. In either case, we'll coordinate with you and your insurance agency.

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

Q: How much time will my vehicle glass repair or replacement take?
In a lot of cases, windshield repairs are done in half an hour or less. Windshield replacements will often take 60 minutes or less; however, we highly recommend that you do not operate the automobile for at least one hour after service is done.

Q: Can you guarantee that a chip or crack that may be repaired will not become bigger during the repair procedure?
No. Sometimes, through no negligence of the repair technician, the attempt to fix a windshield can result in the chip or crack ending up being larger. However, 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 windshield. In the very rare event that this takes place, we will credit the cost of the repair work either toward a new windshield or, in case of insurance work, back to the insurance company.

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 substantially clearer when repaired. But, clarity is dependent upon 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, vision will not suffer.

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement hinges on the size, location, and degree of the damages. In most cases, damage can be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, affects only the outer layer of glass, and does not show up directly in the driver's line of vision. Nonetheless, every case is unique. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be checked out right away.

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

Q: Are your technicians certified?

All SIKA Auto Glass adhesive systems have been crash tested and surpass rigorous Federal safety standards (FMVSS 212/208).

Q: Does my windshield really protect me?
If your windshield is installed properly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield offers up to 50 percent of the roof crush protection in a roll-over car accident. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side air bag in a front end accident. 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 a collision or rollover and you did not have your seat belt on or it were to fail you might be ejected from your automobile.

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 made and manufactured for optimum safety in the event of a collision. Your windshield is constructed from 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 in one piece 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 small pieces.
