Car window inspection and cleaning

We inspect your car windows for cracks and debris that may appear inside or outside your vehicle. Often a splinter, also called a target or star, can be easily fixed. However, larger cracks often require window replacement. We also inspect your windows for so-called micro-holes. These tiny holes are caused by particles coming into contact with your vehicle's glass while you are driving. While you may not notice them, these pinholes can build up over time and result in a dangerous reduction in your ability to see when oncoming headlights shine on your windshield. To protect you, if your windshield has micro holes, we recommend that you replace it.

We also perform a thorough inspection of all edges around each window to determine if there is any body damage around the glass. This extra level of inspection is important because any problems that might be uncovered could actually damage the seal, which could lead to a leak. Finally, we inspect the windshield wiper blades to make sure they are flexible and smooth. Wiper blades can become brittle over time and eventually break. A broken blade can cause the metal arm to scratch the windshield.

In terms of cleaning, we use ammonia-free cleaners because traditional cleaners that contain ammonia can damage the upholstery as well as the dashboard. Ammonia-based cleaners can also wreak havoc on windows that contain layers of blackout film. We also use soft cloths, which safely remove dirt without scratching the glass.

Small and long crack repairs

To determine whether your vehicle's glass can be repaired or needs replacing, we first analyze the location and extent of the damage. For example, if the glass has a chip of at most a quarter, it can usually be repaired.

Likewise, cracks smaller than a few inches can usually be repaired without needing to replace the windshield or window. However, if the damage is in the driver's field of vision, even if the damage is minor, your windshield may need to be replaced. In this situation a replacement may be recommended as the repair could result in distortion which could reduce visibility leading to an unsafe driving situation.

Automatic glass replacement

If your windshield has a crack in contact with the edge, we will likely recommend replacing your windshield. Cracks that come into contact with the edge of the windshield tend to spread quickly and easily, which makes repairing this particular type of crack difficult and likely ineffective. Fortunately, most insurers cover windshield replacement under the comprehensive portion of their policies.
