Warranty
We guarantee replacement glass to be free of manufacturer defects for the length of the original manufacturer's warranty. The workmanship is guaranteed for the life of the windshield.
After-Market or Factory Glass
We will use after-market replacement glass for all estimates and installations unless otherwise requested by the customer and/or approved by insurance companies for insurance claims. Factory replacement glass can be purchased through after-market vendors at times, but in most cases, it must be ordered from automobile manufacturers at a much higher price and longer delivery times for parts.
Older vehicle glass used to be thicker than aftermarket glass, but those days are over.
Vehicle manufacturers had to comply with stricter emissions and mileage regulations, thus cutting as much weight as possible, glass included both OEM and aftermarket windshields are getting thinner and thinner.
Even aftermarket production tech has advanced to a much higher level than it's infancy.
Most after-market and factory glass are made outside this country, with China making the most from one of the newest and most modern auto glass plants in the world built by a major American glass manufacturer. They have also opened a new glass production facility in the United States.
Windshield Innovations
Windshields do a lot more than just keep the wind and rain out of your face! Late-model car windshields work in conjunction with many new car features, such as Supplemental Restraint Systems, Heads Up Displays, Lane Departure Warning Systems, Rain Sensors, and the list goes on. Some of these features you may not be aware of, for example, a Heated Wiper Park, which is common in winter climates, and yet, most people have no idea they have such a feature.
Shortcuts and Low Prices
Usually, new trainees working for an auto glass company know they can make more money working on the side, and run right out and buy a truck and a glass rack and become weekend warriors for a while before quitting their training position to work for themselves. This can affect the looks and integrity of the installation as illustrated by the picture below:
They have little money to purchase the additional clips or proper adhesives since they priced the job so CHEAP. The next thing you know, parts of your car are being glued back together instead of fastened with clips or some other reusable fastener. Windshields are being glued in with improper sealants, risking people’s lives. Passenger-side airbags are ineffective if improper sealants or procedures are used.
Stone Chip Repair
Windshield stone chips and some cracks can usually be repaired at no cost to you with the proper insurance coverage, and most insurance companies will waive your deductible.
Stone chips and cracks must be free of any contaminants such as wiper fluid, washes, and oils from the road mixed with water and should be repaired ASAP.
Warranty
We will guarantee that repaired chips or cracks will not crack further for as long as you own your vehicle, or we will credit the amount paid for repair towards a new replacement windshield installed by us.
Crack and Chip Repair Facts
Windshield Damage and Repair
When a road pebble or rock strikes a windshield, it puts a divot in the outer lay of glass, which cracks and creates a chip/divot on the inside of the outer lay. Tiny air pockets surrounding this chip/divot cause the visual distortion you see.
The patented design of our own windshield repair kit evacuates the trapped air in order to completely fill the cavity with a special resin designed for windshield repairs that, when cured properly, clears the distortion and bonds together the cracks.
Windshield Repair Appearance
The windshield repair is designed to restore integrity to the cracked glass and, at the same time, improve/clear visual distortion to the damaged area.
Once the repair is completed, the appearance of the damaged area greatly improves. In some cases where contaminates have infiltrated the damaged area, the repair may not clear up as much. These contaminates include windshield washer fluid and road grime. There will always be a surface scar from the rock or stone impact.
