Mobile Glass Repair Service in Weston Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if auto glass damage can possibly be corrected?
This depends on the sort of crack or chip. The best choice is to phone us and we will look at the damage. We'll let you know if it is a repair that can be made or if you are facing a windshield replacement. In either case, we'll partner with you and your insurance agency.

Q: Precisely what is the 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) glass is fabricated to the same benchmarks but by a different corporation. Our customers can choose either.

Q: How much time will my vehicle glass repair service or replacement take?
In some cases, windshield repairs can be achieved in 30 minutes or less. Windshield installations will often take 1 hour or less; however, we recommend that you do not operate the automobile for at least one hour after service is completed.

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 ensure that the chip or crack will be undetectable after the repair has been performed?
No. A windshield chip or crack fix is used to reduce further damage to your windshield and to bring back the structural stability of the vehicle. While each incident of damage is one-of-a-kind, with most successful repairs, a slight blemish or imperfection where the impact happened is typical. In many cases, you should expect the cosmetic appearance of the patch to be an improvement as compared to the damage before the mend.

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

Q: How soon can you get me in?
In many cases, we can get you scheduled for the same or next day servicing. Simply ask for an appointment or give us a ring. We'll get you going as quickly as possible.

Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement depends upon the size, location, and degree of the damages. In many cases, damage can possibly 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 view. However, every case is one-of-a-kind. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be checked out immediately.

Q: Can I get my windshield repaired if my auto insurance coverage does not have glass coverage?
Yes. If your auto insurance policy does not contain auto glass coverage, then you can simply pay us directly for your glass repair service or installation. Our supports are really competitively priced and we accept cash, checks, and credit cards to make payment as simple and convenient 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 improve the safety functions of your windshield.

Q: Are your technicians certified?
All of our service technicians are factory trained by SIKA Corporation. SIKA is a thought leader with regards to the Auto Glass Replacement (AGR) direct glazing niche. All SIKA Auto Glass adhesive systems have been crash tested and exceed rigorous Federal safety standards (FMVSS 212/208). SIKA Training ensures the proper application of the entire SIKA Adhesive System, which is critical to the safe installment of the new glass in your motor vehicle.

Q: Does my windshield really protect me?
If your windshield is installed correctly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield supplies up to 50 percent 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 crash. Your windshield is also designed as being one of the main safety restraint systems in your vehicle. 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 may be ejected from your vehicle.

Q: How quickly can I wash my automobile after my windshield is 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 in any way, in truth 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 damage the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has a chance to sufficiently cure. It's also important to leave at least one of the windows open at least 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or cooling 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 a/c unit 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: After I have my windshield replaced, how do I know if it was done right?
You don't! In the absence of removing the auto glass, it's impossible to tell if the windshield was prepped appropriately, if critical primers and correct flash times were used, or even if the proper quantity and type of urethane was utilized. Once an auto glass is installed all the integral installation preparation steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it seems like a clean windshield, back glass or other variety of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying the right way you can only suppose it was done right, and truthfully those things are only cosmetic, it's what is underneath and when and how it was performed 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 advise it.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You certainly should not prolong. The windshield is a very important structural element of your car. If diminished because of untended damage, it will not offer optimal protection in a car accident. Many small chips or surface cracks only impair the outer layer of the windshield, so it may possibly be fixed before it gets any more serious and calls for more resources to fix.

Q: What's the difference between glass in a windshield and other window glass?
Auto glass is made and produced for optimum protection in the event of a collision. 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 between, so it will stay intact 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.
