You need your windshield replaced. Not sure who to call? Maybe your windshield can be repaired. You aren’t sure of anything except you need a professional. You can call your insurance company. They may direct you to a glass replacement business they partner with…. That does not mean it will cost less. There’s’ also no advantage to having a windshield replaced by a dealer.

So, how do you know who to turn to or what company to trust to fix it? You don’t really want to have to worry about the details. You just want the job done right. But, even little things can make a big difference.

Even little things count when it comes to safety for you and your loved ones. In an investigation by the ABC News program 20/20 on windshield safety, the team identified that technicians incorrectly installed windshields not wearing gloves. They pointed out that even a little grease from their hands can prevent adhesives from your windshield from bonding correctly. Another error that 20/20 caught was technicians failing to use all the necessary bonding agents, such as primer. Glass should be installed with a high-quality urethane adhesive. Inferior adhesives may not set as quickly and could endanger you or your passengers. Temperature, humidity, drive-away time, and the vehicle manufacturer determine the proper adhesive. A professional glass technician will know exactly which materials to use for your vehicle.
Replacement glass used should meet federal safety standards. The type of glass you want to be installed is either OEM or OEE (original equipment equivalent). You have the right to choose which type you want installed. We offer OEM and OEE aftermarket options to our customers.
It’s also important to know some auto glass Replacement and Repair Shops will quote what seems like a low price for installation BUT tack on additional fees of up to $69.99 for mobile service and even another $49.99 for disposing of your old windshield.
Experienced technicians are the bottom line. You can have all the right materials but a windshield not installed properly by an experienced technician could cost you your life in an accident.
