Why don't you replace
glass?
From an
environmentally friendly perspective, broken windshields are non recyclable,
they are an inseparable sandwich of glass/plastic/glass ending up in the
landfill. That's a good reason to get more use out of your existing
windshield until you get the "big one" that's beyond repair.
From a frugal perspective: somebody drives up to repair a star on your
windshield and they just happen to have your replacement windshield. Chances are
they suggest replacing. You don't really know if it's repairable or not.
Home, workplace or wherever is convenient for you. Strictly mobile!
Is Fleet Service available?
Yes. Ask about the on-site group discount for your valued employees' personal
and company fleet vehicles. From regular preventive maintenance to just one
service call - whatever meets your needs. Fleet managers - using one vendor for
both services is convenient for you but plain wasteful. Your glass budget goes
mostly to replace, not repair.
If cutting expenses is a priority, try my service - the cost will be dwarfed by
your savings on replacement glass.
What will it look like when
it’s done?
Repairs don't always come out 100% invisible yet in most
cases you'll need a
map to find them. Before
& After Photos
Yes. Rock chip repairs are guaranteed not to spread, weather or discolor for as long as you own your vehicle. We're convinced you'll be completely satisfied or your money back.
About half an hour for a typical star or bullseye. For more than one chip add about fifteen minutes each. Long crack repair takes around an hour and the windshield must be dry for at least two days prior to the repair.
Why would my insurance pay for
this?
It saves them money. They'll love you for not replacing your windshield. The
logic is similar to repairing the puncture in a good tire instead of buying a
new one. The details
Can a rock chip start running while it’s being fixed?
Industry statistics say that chances are 1 in 5000 for this to happen. On a hot day, the windshield on a car sitting in the sun with all the windows rolled up could be over 120F degrees and very sensitive. Working on it there would almost guarantee a failed repair. Working under controlled conditions we promise you much greater odds for a successful repair.
What? An old urban legend claims that glass is not really a solid but a super cooled liquid. Exhaustive research on this subject can be seen here.
"...The use of the term "super cooled liquid" to describe glass still persists, but is considered by many to be an unfortunate misnomer that should be avoided. In any case, claims that glass panes in old windows have deformed due to glass flow have never been substantiated." [from conclusion]
