Convenient Mobile Glass Repair

Answer 1

When your windshield is damaged, the last thing you want to do is drive to the repair shop to get it fixed. You would rather have the repair shop come to you. Even if your windshield has only been chipped by a rock, it is important to have it repaired. The longer you wait, the better the chance that it will evolve into a crack, and your windshield could shatter at any time.

A benefit of not replacing the whole window is that, when an entire windshield is removed, it breaks the factory seal, and impedes the integrity of the new windshield placement. It is much more advantageous to have the rock mark repaired right away. Repairing a rock chip on a windshield uses the latest window repairing technology to bond the chip mark, which keeps the window from cracking any further and makes the window look as good as new. Any chip, from a very small one to a chip mark the size of a quarter, can be repaired. The chance of the windshield cracking after repair is only 1 in every 5000 windows.

When you call an auto glass repair service for windshield repair, they will come out to your home, as long as they are a "mobile" repair service. An industry-specific resin is then injected into the crack. Next, the resin-injected rock mark is heated with ultraviolet light. This causes the resin to undergo a chemical change and blend in with the rest of the window. A window rock-mark repair shouldn't take more than a half hour from start to finish.

Your car insurance should cover the cost of your repair. This is usually covered under your insurance policy's comprehensive portion. In many instances, the insurance company will waive the deductible, if the window has been repaired instead of replaced. This is another advantage of window repair over replacement. Most glass companies will communicate with your insurance company directly.

Don't wait until it is too late. Call a mobile windshield repair service as soon as your windshield is damaged. If you wait, the window could crack further and compromise your personal safety.
