Safe driving in the sunshine state is very important. Whether you live in Gainesville year round, are a college student at the University of Florida for much of the year, or you are just visiting, your vehicle should not be driven with damaged auto glass.  Unattended auto glass damage can create some very serious and dangerous situations. In the greater Gainesville area, the 1-800-Windshield auto glass repair center is here to help you take care of these problems.

Why is having unrepaired auto glass damage so important?

• Safety for your passengers – Your passengers are depending on you to have a safe vehicle. When you have damaged auto glass, you are not providing that safe environment. For example, when the windshield or rear window of your vehicle has a long crack in it, it means that the strength of the window glass has been greatly diminished. In the event of an accident, the affected glass will no longer provide the safety that an undamaged unit of glass would do. A rollover collision could create a very dangerous situation for your passengers. It is the structural strength of the front and rear windows that provide much of the support to your car’s roof, helping to prevent the roof from being crushed in the event of an accident. 
• Safety for others – Having auto glass that is damaged can create a problem for those outside of your vehicle. If you attempt to drive with spider web cracks obscuring your vision, you will not be able to see the bikers and the runners with whom you share the road. If an accident should occur because you knowingly have not repaired a problem of this sort, there could be further legal implications. Additionally, eventhat small crack or chip in your windshield could expand while driving and cause you to lose your focus momentarily. Even a brief moment of not being focused on the road could create a dangerous situation for those around us.
• It is the law – In Florida the view of the driver cannot be obstructed. If there is damage to the windshield that falls within the critical viewing area of the driver, any police officer has the authority to determine if the damage does obstruct the view of the driver. Once the officer makes that determination, a “fix-it” ticket can then be issued. It is much better to have the problem repaired before the law becomes involved.

How can 1-800-Windshield help with my damaged auto glass?

Our well-trained team of service representatives, managers, and technicians will work with you to repair or replace whatever issues you may have with your vehicle’s window units.

• Auto Glass Repairs – After you arrive at our repair facility in Gainesville, our auto glass technicians will inspect the damage to the glass in your car. They will evaluate the damage, and recommend how it should be handled. If the damage is found in time, the auto glass can often times be repaired. Using special resins designed for the task, our technicians will complete the repairs, making the glass as strong as it was before the damage.  Repair is always the first choice, saving you both time and money.
• Auto Glass Replacement – There are times that auto glass cannot be repaired due to either the location or the extent of the damage. When we encounter that situation, we have no choice but to replace the windshield. Usually replacing an entire unit of glass takes longer than a repair. However, because of the extensive supply system that we maintain, we can usually have the replacement done in a very short time. Often, we will have the windshield already on site, and ready to be placed into your vehicle.
• Insurance Claims – Sometimes working with the insurance companies can be time consuming and aggravating. At 1-800-Windshield in Gainesville, we take away those problems. In many situations, after you have made the initial call to your insurance company, we will take care of the rest!
