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. Most of the time, 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. Having said that, every case is one-of-a-kind. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be examined without delay.

Q: Are there any out of pocket costs to get my auto glass fixed?
The answer depends upon your insurance coverage. For glass repairs, most auto insurance companies waive the insurance deductible so you will not have to pay anything out of pocket. As a matter of fact, many insurance companies do not even count glass repairs as a claim. For glass installation, you may not need to pay anything out of pocket 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 insurance provider will be responsible for any money over the deductible.

Yes. If your auto insurance coverage does not contain auto glass coverage, then you can just pay us directly for your glass repair or replacement. Our supports are extremely competitively priced and we accept cash, checks, and credit cards to make payment as easy and convenient as possible.

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

Q: How quickly can I wash my motor vehicle after my windshield is removed and replaced?
You can hand wash your car provided you keep high-pressure sprays of water faraway from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem at all, in truth the moisture actually helps the curing process of the urethane adhesive sealant. You should wait at least 24 hours before washing your vehicle in a high-pressure type of car or truck wash. A high-pressure automatic car wash can weaken 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 important 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 air conditioning is operated within the first day. Having a window a little bit open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or air conditioner builds up inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, creating an air or water leak.

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 impossible to tell if the windshield was prepped correctly, if critical primers and proper flash times were used, or even if the proper amount and type of urethane was applied. Once an auto glass is installed all the vital installation groundwork steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it seems like a clean windshield, back glass, or another type of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying properly you can only presume it was done right and in truth, 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 recommend it.

Q: Is there a difference between my windshield and the other glass in the car?
Yes, there is. Windshield glass is laminated safety glass, designed to react differently in an auto accident, where the sides and rear are often tempered glass.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You truly should not prolong. The windshield is a critical skeletal element of your vehicle. If weakened because 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 severe and requires more money and time to repair.

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 a crash. 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 collision. 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.
