Attempting To Replace Or Repair Auto Glass In Chester City, Pennsylvania area?

The weather in Chester city can sometimes be intense, especially during the fall hurricane season on the east coast. High winds and extreme rains can wreak havoc on auto glass by strewing around debris and creating difficult driving conditions.  When you experience an unexpected impact on your windshield and see damage form, dial 1-800-Windshield or fill out the form on this website for an immediate referral to a local auto glass shop. 1-800-Windshield will direct you to a local business that has both high standards and excellent turnaround time. Before you bring  your car to an auto shop, considered the following things:

  • Auto glass damages can expand overnight into a more severe issues. If you put off getting a scratch checked, it can expand into a cracked section. The longer a customer waits to repair a windshield, the higher the risk and the higher the bill.

  • Any business that 1-800-Windshield provides a referral to will be capable of providing a free estimate on any work that needs to be done. It isn't necessary to avoid an auto shop because of feared expenses.

How are modern windshields constructed?

The modern window on a car is two layers of glass with a layer of poly-vinyl laminate in between them. The fused material creates a windshield that can withstand even the heaviest impacts. The glass may shatter and lose form, but with a flexible interior layer, it bends and cracks instead of exploding. The result is a rigid and strong window that can effectively shield passengers from exterior elements while still being malleable during an impact situation. There are other benefits of the laminate layer in auto glass:

  • Up to 97% of ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by auto glass, preventing sunburn in the passenger cabin and also helping to regulate the temperature.
  • High frequency sound is muffled by auto glass. This creates a passenger cabin that is much less distracting.

What types of damage should be brought to an expert for possible replacement or repair?

There are many conditions that need to be brought to a professional. Each is unique, but these are some common issues that occur:

  • Cracked glass is an excellent example of a windshield that needs to be repaired soon. The poly-vinyl layer that gives the glass its strength may have been pierced and this could lead to a shatter situation that could otherwise be avoided. 
  • Scratched glass often occurs from a combination of weathering and light impacts. These often seem to be cosmetic in nature, but provide weak points for weathering to further worsen the window's condition.
  • A chipped window often occurs from sudden medium impacts. Chipped glass is rare and difficult to see, but is often a warning sign of a crack to come. Chips are particularly vulnerable to weather events and further impacts.
