Our network only includes the most qualified shops and helps customers avoid the long process of searching blindly through the internet or yellow pages. Consider these facts before seeking windshield repair services:

• The windshield is part of the safety system of any car, this means it should be treated like a damaged airbag or seatbelt. No driver should skip maintenance on safety devices.
• Windshield repair is often a quick process. Repair technicians understand it fits into the category of emergency maintenance and needs to be done quickly. 
• Repair costs are minimized when damages are addressed before further weathering occurs.

Why is a windshield any different from other glass?

When a windshield is made, two pieces of glass are fused to a central layer of poly-vinyl material. This plastic core gives the glass a layer that can stretch and bend unlike normal glass. The effect this creates in an impact situation is to provide a malleable structure for the window to bend around. Instead of shattering throughout the cabin in a chaotic manner, a windshield still maintains much of its structure during an impact. This means that a windshield is one of the first lines of defense in any automobile incident. Other benefits of modern safety glass include:

• Absorption of up to 97% of all ultraviolet light. The effect is mainly for comfort, but allows the driver to be less distracted by temperature while driving.
• Safety glass absorbs much of the high frequency sound from outside the cabin. This further reduces the distraction that any driver experiences.

What types of damage should drivers be watching for?

Any hint of windshield damage should cause a driver to seek out a professional's opinion. Auto glass is not something that should fall into disrepair. If any of the following damages appear, they should be taken to a specialist for evaluation:

• Scratched windows are often indications that a window may have experienced an impact. Though the damage may seem minor, weathering or further impacts can lead to serious problems. This damage can be dealt with before it becomes a much more expensive fix.
• Cracked windows are usually the result of an impact followed by weathering. These are serious problems and need to be taken to an expert in short time. 
• Chipped windshields are another indicator of a serious impact that has occurred. They often indicate a weakened area and possibly compromised structure. Take this problem to an expert to prevent further breakage and risk.
