Crash Auto Glass of Belvidere, Vermont will mark 27 years of successful business in July, 2015. Founded in 1988, Crash Auto Glass provides repair or replacement windshields in the driveway of those who need this service at no additional charge. Service is available in Burlington, Barre,Rutland, St. Albans and Winooski, Vermont. Cracked windshields make even the newest, nicest car, truck or SUV look bad. Worse than the way the cracked windshield looks, safety concerns that come with broken glass are also a hazard. The potential dangers posed by a damaged windshield can include: – a loss of structural integrity in the front end; – a greater likelihood of injury during a rollover accident; – an increased risk of ejection from an accident impact; – ineffective airbag deployment.
Small cracks and chips can be repaired fairly easily and as many as 75% of damaged windshields are fixable. “It is always advisable to have your windshield repaired quickly,” said Jeff Arel who owns and founded Crash Auto Glass. “Dirt can work its way into the damaged area affecting the effectiveness and clarity of the windshield repair.”
Windshield Damage Does Not Improve With Time
Unhappily these small repairs are easy to ignore and will literally expand all the way across a windshield to the very edge. Difficulties with cracked windshields extend to air bags, as they may compromise the integrity of the passenger’s side of the car. “It only takes a few minutes to repair a windshield and most insurance companies will waive your deductible, so it may end up costing nothing but your time,” said Jeff. “If the motorist with a small crack or chipped windshield gets it repaired early then more time, trouble and expense are avoided.”
How The Windshield Gets Repaired
The main purpose of a repair is to prevent the damaged area from spreading further. If the damaged area on the windshield is smaller than a quarter, then it is repairable.
Auto glass repair is a permanent process that removes air from the break and fills it with resin. This process will bond the glass together and restore the strength and structural integrity of your auto glass. Even though it is possible to still see 20 -40% of the damaged area it should stop the damaged area from spreading. “Windshield repair is economical, safe and effective,” Jeff mentioned. “Of course every auto glass repair is different. Some are repairable and some, even though they are repaired, will crack further, and that will mean replacement.”
