How to Choose a Glass Shop
There are five questions you should ask every auto glass shop before you trust them with your vehicle. The first: what is my minimum airbag safe drive-away time? That’s how long the windshield urethane (adhesive) manufacturer says it must cure before the airbags can safely deploy.
Read the full list of 5 questions to ask before hiring a glass shop.
Repair or Replace?
A chip can usually be repaired instead of replaced if it meets all of the following:
- Shorter than a dollar bill (about 6 inches)
- Outside the driver’s viewable area
- Outside the ADAS camera’s view
- Relatively new (not weathered or dirty)
Did You Know?
- Properly removing and replacing a windshield takes 43 steps. If a shop finishes in 20 minutes, ask which steps they skipped.
- Windshields are safety devices, just like seat belts, according to federal regulators. They provide up to 60% of a vehicle’s structural integrity in a rollover. (safewindshields.org)
- Windshield urethane has a manufacturer-specified minimum cure time before a car is airbag-safe to drive.
- Every Fix-A-Crack customer is welcome to use our ultrasonic leak-detection equipment to personally verify their replacement windshield.
- If your car has a camera behind the windshield, the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) must be recalibrated after a replacement.
- You need a trained Autoglass technician to help with your windshield install. The barrier to entry for this industry allows to train one day and open a shop the next day. You want to make sure that your family and friends that you transport in your care are protected by trained professionals so that they are protected.
- Make sure that any shop that you use, even the guy using only a truck, should be able to show you proof of insurance so that you are protected. Your life matters more than your car.
Fix-A-Crack National Lifetime Warranty
We stand behind our work with the same kind of national lifetime warranty larger chains advertise.
Repairs: If a break is repairable, the repair is warranted for as long as you own the vehicle. If the break spreads during or after the repair, we’ll credit the repair cost toward a full replacement performed by Fix-A-Crack or a Fix-A-Crack–approved provider in the U.S.
Replacements: Replacements are warranted against workmanship, leaks, and defects for as long as you own the vehicle, provided you notify us within 30 days of installation.
