How to keep a rock chip from cracking immediately

Posted by James - June 8, 2023 - Uncategorized

Depending on the chip, there are ways to prevent it from cracking out. Many chips become cracks because of temperature change. If the windshield is cold, direct the heater to the floor. This allows for the windshield to warm up slowly. Do not go through a car wash until the repair has been made. The […]

Windshield Replacement

Posted by James - March 27, 2013 - Uncategorized

You can actually be put in harm’s way if the windshield replacement shop uses an inferior adhesive. You must also pay attention to SDAT (Safe Drive Away Time) or your windshield could launch from your vehicle if you were in an accident within a few hours of the replacement job completion.

Windshield Replacement versus Reair

Posted by James - March 15, 2013 - Uncategorized

* Isn’t a new (replacement) windshield more durable than a repair? Actually in fact, many glass shops use reduced quality (cheap) glass to replace your windshield. This increases their profits – but significantly reduces the clarity and safety of your windshield. The same holds true for the adhesives used in replacement jobs. Some adhesives are […]

Filling a chip or replacement

Posted by James - February 21, 2013 - Uncategorized

* Repair or replacement is easy enough, why would one be safer for me than the other? Actually, no windshield is quite as safe as the original because the original windshield seal is 500 time stronger (installed when your vehicle was built). With repair, we don’t need to remove the seals and potentially reduce the […]

Which is faster, repairing a crack or just sticking in a new windshield?

Posted by James - February 20, 2013 - Uncategorized

A Repair is much faster… and convenient. Unlike specific needs of replacing a windshield, a crack can be repaired in just about 10 to 15 minutes as opposed to 1 hour plus for replacement. In almost any environment and all you see is like a piece of hair after it has been fixed.

How we fix cracks in your windshield up to 26 inches long

Posted by James - February 16, 2013 - Uncategorized

Most companies don’t have the tools to fix cracks up to 26 inches long because they want to replace your windshield. They make more money by replacing the windshield than they do by fixing cracks.

Most windshield repair shops will tell you that you have to replace your windshield not fix the chips!

Posted by James - February 11, 2013 - Uncategorized

Many people are confused about the benefits of windshield repair.  In fact, many auto glass shops purposely confuse or distort the facts so they can get a higher priced glass replacement job.  All the while, the consumer may be spending far more than necessary and getting less benefit than they realized. Because the chip repair […]

Fast, Friendly, and Great Service, Did not cost me a dime. Rick is the owner and knows all the insurance companies and their policies, I was not charged for a deductible, and my insurance company paid the entire bill. Great Job on windshield, no further cracking. All done in less then 20 minutes!Chris G.

Rick is super awesome and he did a WONDERFUL job. I was super pleased with the service, timeliness, help through the insurance process, and friendly conversation! My truck’s windshield looks practically good as new. He offered additional help if it started cracking again after repair, but that wasn’t necessary since it was done so well. I would send anyone here to see Rick, knowing they would get a kick ass experience. Thanks again! I loved your dogs!

Great service, and great work. I had my windshield repaired by Rick (the owner) yesterday. The work was done well and with good conversation. He stayed over and hour after they closed because I had 4 cracks. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be coming back!

I brought in my car because of a quarter-sized chip. Rick made the process of getting this chip fixed easy, and while he was working he noticed a smaller chip, which he fixed for free. He also noticed an old chip repair job that was done by another shop, and showed me how this repair was failing. He did his best to fix the other shop's mistakes, also for free. He is a great guy who cares about his work and does an excellent job with windshields. He will work with you and treat your car as if it is his own. Definitely give him your service!

This was one of the best auto-repair related experiences I have ever had. It was so quick and easy. I had a very long crack that had quickly gone from a chip to maybe just above ~16inches in three days. I was just looking for something that would stop the spread, as my insurance would not approve a repair more than 6inches. He made the entire crack nearly invisible and did some sort of small drilling (beyond my layperson knowledge) that should stop the spread. He agreed to do one more repair if the crack does spread. He agreed to do another repair if it does spr He was very nice, incredibly affordable, and very fast. I would recommend him to anyone with chip(s) or crack(s). As an FYI, he does have a list on his website of phone numbers to call for your insurance company that will get you to its glass division to see what they pay for. Will definitely recommend others to him and return myself if I ever have another problem.
