Clear Navigation With Dallas Auto Glass
The glass in their car is something most people take for granted
. They expect that it is constructed to protect them against the elements including wind, rain, heat and freezing temperatures. But what happens when a problem occurs, such as a crack, a rock chip, or a break-in? Dallas Auto Glass provides a variety of services to address these problems.This happens more often than we would like. Heat, cold, and road problems can be hard on windshields. Sometimes repair or replacement is necessary. Road hazards or accidents make repairs necessary despite the intended goal of a lifetime of service.
In general, car repairs that are made by professionals require the owner to leave the car with the mechanic's shop for a period of time. How long that period lasts depends on many factors including the workload of the shop and the availability of parts. Dallas Auto Glass is able to make on the spot repairs, usually within an hour or less.
It is reasonably easy to make your car available, for example, while you are at work. The technician can perform the necessary work in the parking lot while you are working, and without you having to leave your work site. The services are mobile and can meet your busy schedule.
When a chip or small crack in the windshield is discovered, it is very important to get someone to look at it right away. Once the surface is weakened, continued failure is likely in the form of expanding the crack, or starting a crack from the location of a chip.
Seemingly simple activities can cause fractures. Washing the car on a hot day seems innocent, but if cold water hits hot glass, especially in hot Dallas summer weather, the resulting quick contraction in the glass can cause cracking to develop or expand. Similarly, warm water poured on a frozen windshield in winter is another risk.
Some chips and small cracks can be repaired by inserting a resin into the damaged area. This resin bonds with the surface and makes it solid once more, avoiding the need for a full replacement. Cracks over 6 to 8 inches may not be able to be repaired, requiring replacement of the panel.
Thus speed is of the essence in addressing the problem of a cracked or chipped section of glass. Expensive replacements can be avoided by early detection. Dallas Auto Glass designs their business around this quick responsiveness and delivering service at the location of your choice.
