A rock just pinged off and chipped your windshield. Mesa, AZ is a dangerous place like that. Now that you have this huge chip in your view, what are you going to do?

Ignoring chips and cracks in your windshield is a bad idea. With the widely varying temperatures between day and night in Arizona, a small chip or crack can quickly become a large one. Varying temperatures change the density of your auto glass, which will in turn work your small flaw into a visual nightmare.

It's not just a matter of appearance, either. A cracked windshield is a weak one. The next hit your windshield takes may be its last. This can be easily and cheaply avoided.

It's true that there are products out there for the average consumer to patch their windshield. Unfortunately, they don't come with any real training. You really can't expect to adequately be able to fix your crack or chip by what you learn on the back of a package.

Besides, there are many professionals in your area that can do this for you. You have to be selective about who you hire for this work, though. Here are a few qualifications to make sure you get the job done right, the first time.
• Mobile service at no extra cost.
• Covered by your insurance.
• Full NGA certification.
• OEM glass, no aftermarket glass.
• Clean, courteous and knowledgeable installers.
• Free quote.
• $150 in free gas.

The last one may surprise you, but you really can get $150 in free gas from the right auto glass service.

Hazards+to+Your+Windshield—AZ+Has+Them!

When it comes to hazards to your windshield, AZ has them in abundance. Construction vehicles drop gravel in your path, hail storms pound on your vehicle, deer cross the roadway in front of your car, and so much more can damage your windshield. The widely varying temperatures between day and night can quickly make a relatively small crack or chip repair into a full blown replacement job. This is something you can't ignore.

Did you know that after a windshield splits, it takes 40% of the same impact to shatter it than it would if it was solid? Many people drive around with cracked windshields without realizing the risk they're taking.

Other people think that they can do it themselves. "Shade tree" mechanics, though they mean well, really shouldn't be trusted with your auto glass. Mold and mildew from leaks, plus the potential for future breakage due to improper installation, add up in the expense. Besides, why go through all that trouble when your insurance company will pay for certain auto glass professionals?

When choosing between auto glass professionals, you have to be selective. Not all of them offer the same level of quality of service and materials. Prices vary widely, also. Like it or not, you HAVE to shop around for your auto glass needs. This isn't like changing a light bulb.

Ask them questions. Ask if they give free estimates. Ask about their prices. Make sure they're well trained, NGA certified installers. See if they offer free mobile services, and can install at your home or office. Make certain that they use quality materials (ask about OEM glass). Make sure, above all, that they can get the job done right, the first time.

Quality work and materials for your auto glass is something you can't let just anyone take care of. Make sure you find the best in your area.

When+Replacing+Auto+Glass,+AZ+Has+Too+Many+Choices!

Your car just got broken into. Your stereo is stolen and everywhere you see broken auto glass. AZ has a lot of auto glass repair and replacement businesses to choose from. How do you choose?

Unfortunately, there is no "real" standard in auto glass repair businesses in AZ. Many companies just assume that their customers don't know anything about auto glass. Some of them use cheap materials. Some of them will charge an inflated price. Some of them will actually try to replace the whole glass, when all you really need is to have your glass repaired.

The list goes on about how AZ auto glass "professionals" can take advantage of their customers. Never fear, there are some things to look for to find the best auto glass places in AZ.

- Look for full NGA certifications on ALL the technicians.

- Look for free estimates.

- Look for ones that use OEM glass instead of aftermarket glass.

- Look for free mobile services.

- Look for the ones accepted by your insurance company.

- Look for experienced service professionals.

- Look for the ones who meet and beat their competition's prices!

These are just a few of the qualifications you can look for in your auto glass professionals. This can save you a lot of time, trouble and money. Shoddy service and cheap materials account for a large percentage of needless extra expense when repairing and replacing your auto glass.

Bad service and materials can lead to other expenses as well. If you have a leak, mold and mildew will grow in your car, making the upholstery useless and toxic. If your glass doesn't hold up because it’s cheap, it can lead to accidents, injury and death. Choose wisely when you need to shop for auto glass.
