Windshield Long Crack Repair
For best results, get it repaired ASAP before rain or a carwash because any absorbed moisture can take a few hot & dry days to evaporate. Water and dirt that get absorbed into the crack prevent the repair resin from bonding well and attempts to dry it out manually will cause the crack to get longer!
Long crack up to 6 inches in length $75
Long crack repairs are not guaranteed.
All other glass restoration services have been discontinued since my career change in June 2011: Removal of Scratches / Acid Graffiti / Hard Water Stains.
I've always been driven by the idea of good stewardship of resources and avoiding unnecessary material waste. Finding a real need and filling it for my customers since 1994 I've always kept an eye on the latest technologies available to provide the best results at the lowest possible cost. At less than half the cost of replacing residential and commercial windows - removing damage caused by graffiti, construction clean up, hard water stains, etc. just makes good economic sense. Windshields are NON recyclable, an inseparable sandwich of glass/plastic/glass. That's a good reason to get more use out of your existing windshield until you get the "big one" that's beyond repair. Every successful repair means one less windshield in the landfill.
That's green. top
There is no shop, it's a mobile service. Schedule service to your location within 15 miles of Elk Grove most Saturdays and after 5pm M-F. My glass business became part time when I returned full time to Caltronics Business Systems in June 2011.
Outside, a smooth water spot is usually all that will be seen. This is where a pit, or divot was created on the surface during the flying object's contact with the glass. After the repair, pit filling resin is applied and polished leaving a smooth surface like a water spot.
Inside, more detail may be noticed due to the backlight effect created by brighter light on the outside of the vehicle and the closer proximity of your eyes to the glass when sitting inside. Depending on the type of damage - star, bullseye, half moon, combination, a slight sparkle may sometimes be seen from certain angles but has no negative structural effect on the repair.
Yes. Windshield 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 repair 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.
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 replacing it.
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".
