Windshield Replacement
Timely windshield replacement is essential for your safety. Your windshield accounts for up to 60% of your vehicle’s cabin support in a rollover accident depending on the make and model. Our experts take a series of steps to insure the proper replacement of your windshield to restore the durability of your vehicle.
First, we carefully remove your windshield to avoid damaging the paint and bonding surface, which when damaged can result in leaks and corrosion to your car. Next, a windshield matching the Original Equipment Equivalent's (OEE) specifications and quality is prepared for installation. Only Auto Glass Safety Council™ approved adhesives are used and we then replace your windshield following the industry's best practices and procedures. After waiting the recommended one-hour drive away time to allow the adhesive to cure, you’re on your way safe and secure!
Windshield Repair
When we repair your windshield, we first remove any debris from the impacted area and sometimes use a drill to create a clean channel for the repair resin. The resin is then injected into the damaged area using a special tool. After the resin is applied, it’s cured and polished to a clear finish.
Glass Doctor of Tampa Bay recommends repair over replacement whenever possible. Repair is in inexpensive alternative to windshield replacement and can stop small chips and cracks from spreading. Repair also offers:
Convenience: Our experts can repair your windshield in about an hour.
Cost savings: Windshield repair is more economical than replacement.
Insurance advantages: Because of the savings auto glass repair offers, many insurance carriers will waive your deductible and pay for the repair.
Environmentally sound: Repair keeps your windshield out of the landfill.
