Choosing an Auto-Glass Expert For Your Windshield Repair/Replacement
When your windshield needs replacing or repair, two things automatically come to mind: you want someone who can get the job done quickly, but most importantly, someone who has the skill and expertise to do it properly.
Whether it’s a small stone-chip repair, or a full replacement, finding the right auto-glass experts to work with can pose a challenge.
Here are 4 things to keep in mind when selecting a company to repair your vehicle:
1. Experience
Many vehicle owners who sustain stone chips or cracks in the windshield believe they can repair it themselves or ignore it. However, there are several reasons why you should seek the guidance of the most experienced auto-glass expert you can find.
These include:
Honest Assessment
Although it may look like minor damage to you, a skilled windshield repair specialist can detect warning signs of future issues.
They will be able to give an honest assessment of the damage and determine whether the hole can be safely filled, or if you require a full windshield replacement.
High-Quality Repair
Your family and other motorists’ safety depends on your windshield repair/replacement being completed by a professional.
By working with a auto glass technician that is trained and licensed will ensure that your windshield is fixed correctly, leaving no room for mistakes.
Get the Job Done Right the First Time
Choosing an auto-glass company with an experienced and knowledgeable team will ensure they have the tools to repair stone-chips and cracks right the first time, saving you money and any nasty surprises in the future.
2. High-Quality Material
The material that is used to replace/repair your windshield is extremely important. When selecting which auto-glass company to work with, make sure to ask them what type of material they work with.
Windshield Repairs
When repairing your windshield, the right auto-glass company will use a high quality adhesive that is designed to hold your glass securely in place during a collision. Adhesives that are cheap can:
- Breakdown over time
- Result in a loose windshield
- Lead to wind noise and water leakage
Windshield Replacements
Find an auto-glass company that uses new dealer or OEM glass to replace your windshield. This material meets certain quality standards that cannot be guaranteed with generic glass.
3. They Accommodate Your Busy Schedule
The right auto-glass repair company works tirelessly to accommodate your busy schedule. Even though replacing/repairing your windshield is extremely important, they know that the rest of your responsibilities can’t be put on hold while you do so.
