the glass are designed to last for the lifetime of the car. Unfortunately accidents, road hazards and the weather can force owners to make repairs to their windshields, sometimes more than once in a car’s lifetime.

This happens more often than we would like. Heat, cold, and road problems can be hard on windshields. Sometimes repair or auto glass replacementt is necessary. Road hazards or accidents make repairs necessary despite the intended goal of a lifetime of service.

Most common car repairs and maintenance are performed in auto shops where the car must be left for repairs to be done in the shop. This takes the car out of service for an indefinite period of time, and may even involve towing the car to the garage. Phoenix Auto Glass avoids these problems of connecting to an auto shop location.

It is reasonably easy to make your car available, for example, while you are at work. The technician can perform the necessary work in the parking lot while you are working, and without you having to leave your work site. The services are mobile and can meet your busy schedule. Cracks and chips can expand very rapidly, once they begin. A rock chip can develop into a crack. A crack can expand. When the surface is compromised the glass will continue to weaken and the problem will expand.

Side windows and back windows are not generally affected by road chips. They are susceptible to heat and freezing. For example, on a frozen morning one is tempted to pour warm water on auto glass to defrost it instantly. Similarly, unsuspecting owners can wash a car on a hot summer day in Phoenix and the cold hose water can cause an immediate crack!

Some chips and small cracks can be repaired by inserting a resin into the damaged area. This resin bonds with the surface and makes it solid once more, avoiding the need for a full replacement. Cracks over 6 to 8 inches may not be able to be repaired, requiring replacement of the panel.

In short, the sooner a professional can look at the problem, the smaller and simpler the repair will be. Replacements are always more expensive than repairs, so it is important to respond to the problem as soon as possible. Phoenix Auto Glass prides itself on its record of rapid response and professional repair as keys to success.
