Mobile Glass Repair Service in Albrightsville Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I figure out if auto glass damage may possibly be repaired?
This depends on the type of crack or chip. The best alternative is to get in touch with us and we will check the chip or crack. We'll let you know if it is a fix that could be made or if you are facing a windshield replacement. In either case, we'll partner with you and your insurance agency.

Q: How long will my auto glass repair work or replacement take?
Oftentimes, windshield repairs can be performed in 30 minutes or less. Windshield installations will often take an hour or less; however, we strongly recommend that you do not operate the motor vehicle for about one hour after the service is finished.

Q: How long before I can confidently drive my motor vehicle?
You can usually drive one hour after a windshield auto glass installation, or immediately after a fix or side window replacement. Our repair professionals use the best materials, including the industry's first adhesive with a one-hour drive-away time for windshield installations. The service technician will advise you if any extra time is needed.

Q: Does my vehicle need to be indoors?
Inclement weather makes auto glass installs complicated without cover. If a protected area is not available, we may need to reschedule to service your car, truck or van.

Q: My rearview mirror is attached to my windshield. Will the technician attach it to the new windshield?
Yes, our auto glass technicians will remove your rearview mirror and attach it to your new windshield.

Q: Can you confirm that a chip or crack that may be mended will not become larger during the repair procedure?
No. In some cases, through no error of the repair mechanic, the attempt to restore a windshield can lead to the chip or crack ending up being larger. But, we can ensure that upon completion of a successful repair, the chip or crack will not crack further and the repair will successfully pass any state vehicle inspection, or we will credit the cost of the repair toward a replacement. In the very rare event that this occurs, we will credit the cost of the repair service either toward a new windshield or, in the event of insurance work, back to the insurance provider.

Q: Will any part of my vehicle be harmed during the repair or replacement process?
No, your vehicle should not be damaged during the repair or replacement. We use precautionary measures, such as protective drapes, to ensure that no damage occurs during your auto glass service.

Q: Will you be able to replace the tags that are already on my windshield?
When possible, our trained technicians will take exceptional care to remove any stickers or items that are fastened to your old windshield and will switch them over to your new windshield to ensure that you will not lose the information.

Q: What kind of parts do you use for your glass services?
We use the highest quality glass, moulding, urethanes and other replacement materials to maintain and enhance the safety features of your windshield.

All SIKA Auto Glass adhesive systems have been crash tested and meet or exceed rigorous Federal safety standards (FMVSS 212/208).

Q: Does my windshield act as a safeguard?
If your windshield is installed correctly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield gives up to 50 percent of the roof crush protection in a roll-over collision. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger side air bag in a front end collision. Your windshield is also designed to be one of the main safety restraint systems in your automobile. If your windshield were to pop out in an accident or rollover and you did not have your safety belt on or it were to fail you could be ejected from your motor vehicle.

Q: How soon can I wash my motor vehicle after my windshield is switched out?
You can hand wash your car provided you keep high pressure sprays of water away from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem in any way, in fact the wetness actually helps the curing process of the urethane adhesive sealant. You should wait at least 24 hours before washing your vehicle in a high pressure type of car or truck wash. A high pressure automatic car wash can ruin the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has an opportunity to completely cure. It's also vital to leave at least one of the windows open at the very least 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or air conditioning is operated within the first 24 hours. Having a window slightly open prevents the pressure build up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or ac system builds up inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, resulting in an air or water leak.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You absolutely should not prolong. The windshield is a vital skeletal element of your motor vehicle. If diminished caused by untended damage, it will not supply optimal protection in a traffic collision. Many small chips or surface cracks only affect the outer layer of the windshield, so it may be fixed before it gets any more severe and necessitates more resources to correct.
