Driving With A Damaged Windshield In Canton, Ohio?
Damaged windshields are a major problem for drivers in Canton. If not repaired, they can potentially lead to additional vehicle damage and personal injury. If you are in need of auto glass repair and replacement, then 1-800-Windshield can provide you with all the help that you require. Commuting in Canton can pose hazardous to windshields. Vehicles on our busy streets release airborne debris of all kinds, from refuse off a truck to pebbles kicked into the air by tires, any of which can take chips out of auto glass. Objects falling from a sufficient height, such as a large tree branch can also crack a windshield. Accidental collisions with other vehicles, animals or stationary roadside objects can also impose damage to auto glass. Whether your windshield was damaged while crossing the intersection of 12th Street and Market Avenue N or parked at the Hall of Fame Game at Fawcett Stadium, 1-800-Windshield is the number you need to call.
What can 1-800-Windshield do for my auto glass problems?
We are a group of independently operated windshield repair facilities with members nationwide, including in Canton. We pride ourselves on excellence, which is why we are so exclusive with our membership. Our members provide the full range of auto glass services, including:
- Damage Evaluation and Solution Determination. Not all instances of windshield damage require the same repairs. What is necessary in one case might be more than required in another. Our members are dedicated to providing our customers with the safest and most cost-effective repairs available. We have years of experience analyzing windshield damage and will be able to determine what options are available.
- Estimation of Cost. Some forms of repair use little material and take little time to complete. Others are just the opposite. This means that costs can vary dramatically. Because the full cost of repair cannot be known with certainty until the damage is assessed, the vehicle needs to be seen by an expert technician. Our trained staff will provide you with the most accurate estimates possible.
- Auto Glass Repair. Our goal is to keep our customers’ costs down to the greatest extent possible. That’s why we prefer to repair a windshield rather than replace it whenever possible. Although a number of repair methods exist, most involve the use of adhesives. These scientifically-developed chemicals stick to the sides of damaged auto glass and then harden. This binds the glass together and prevents the damage from spreading. Repair with chemical adhesives is a cost-effective method of salvaging a windshield and can often be completed for between $30 and $200. Repair also is comparatively quick and often takes less than a couple of hours to finish.
- Windshield Replacement. Unfortunately, adhesives have a number of limitations. They cannot restore or replace missing glass. Damage which is very extensive may have compromised the integrity of the glass to such an extent that repair is not possible. Adhesives often lack the power to stop the spread of cracks that extend all the way through the windshield. Perhaps most importantly, adhesives rarely restore any of the original clarity of the auto glass, leaving the driver with a permanently impaired view of the road. If repair is impossible or unsafe, the windshield must be replaced. Depending on the make and model of the vehicle and the availability of replacement parts, customers may have a choice of replacement parts. Replacement is considerably more expensive than repair, normally costing between $200 and $1,500. It is also more time consuming, normally taking several hours at least and sometimes longer.
