Glass Replacement

Auto glass replacement involves completely removing the damaged windshield or other vehicle window and installing a new one. Here’s an overview of the typical process:
Assessment: The technician examines the damage to determine if replacement is necessary. Factors such as the size, location, and type of damage (large cracks, severe chips) are considered.
Preparation: The vehicle is prepared for replacement by removing any external parts that might obstruct access to the glass, such as wipers, trim, and moldings.
Removal: The old windshield or window is carefully removed using specialized tools to avoid damaging the vehicle's frame or surrounding panels. Any remaining adhesive or urethane is also cleaned off to prepare for the new glass.
Pre-installation Inspection: The technician checks the vehicle’s frame and surroundings to ensure there are no underlying issues that could affect the new glass’s fit or integrity.
Installation: The new windshield or window is installed using high-quality adhesive or urethane that meets manufacturer specifications. The technician ensures that the glass is properly aligned and seated within the frame.
Curing: The adhesive or urethane is allowed to cure for the recommended time, which may vary depending on the product used and environmental conditions. This curing process ensures a strong bond between the glass and the vehicle.
Replacement of Parts: Any trim, moldings, or other components that were removed during preparation are reinstalled.
Final Inspection: The technician performs a final inspection to verify that the replacement glass is securely installed and meets safety standards. They also ensure that all parts and functions affected by the replacement, such as sensors or heating elements, are properly functioning.
Auto glass replacement is necessary for damage that is extensive, severe, or located in critical areas of the windshield or windows. It restores the structural integrity of the vehicle and ensures clear visibility, contributing to overall safety on the road.
Glass Repair

Auto glass repair involves fixing damage to the windshield or other vehicle windows caused by chips, cracks, or scratches. The repair process typically includes the following steps:
Assessment: The technician inspects the damage to determine if it can be repaired. Factors such as the size, location, and type of damage (chip or crack) are considered.
Preparation: The damaged area is cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and moisture. This ensures a clean surface for the repair process.
Resin Application: A special resin, designed specifically for auto glass repair, is injected into the damaged area using a tool that creates a vacuum seal. The resin fills the void left by the damage and bonds with the glass.
Curing: The resin is cured or hardened using ultraviolet (UV) light. This process solidifies the resin and ensures it forms a strong bond with the surrounding glass.
Smoothing and Polishing: After the resin has cured, the excess resin is trimmed and the repaired area is smoothed down to be level with the rest of the glass surface. A polishing process may follow to restore clarity and visibility.
Final Inspection: The technician inspects the repaired area to ensure the damage is fully addressed and the repair meets safety standards. They also check for any remaining imperfections or air bubbles.
Auto glass repair is typically recommended for minor damage that meets certain criteria, such as small chips (usually less than the size of a quarter) and short cracks (usually less than 12 inches in length). It helps to restore the structural integrity of the glass and can prevent the damage from spreading, which could require a full windshield replacement later on.
