Auto Glass Replacement For Safety, Security, Comfort, and More

It seemed like an insignificant crack at the time. However, the seemingly insignificant crack morphed into major damage that forced you to take your car in for auto glass replacement. At Dan’s Glass, we recommend that our customers take their vehicles in for auto glass replacement long before a small crack turns into an auto repair nightmare.

For the reasons of comfort, safety, and security, you should not allow a small crack in auto glass to go unattended.

Let’s dive into the specific reasons why auto glass replacement is a good idea for even the smallest chips and cracks.

Improves Strength

A small chip or crack on a piece of auto glass can quickly turn into a major issue that compromises the structural integrity of your motor vehicle. The best auto glass is designed to withstand strong impacts, but that does not happen if you have chipped or cracked auto glass. A small crack in auto glass can lead to an incident in which the entire glass shatters, which places you and your passengers in harm’s way.

Stay Secure During Bad Weather

Just a small crack on your windshield can make you and your passengers highly vulnerable to the dangers of bad weather. Even if a chipped or cracked glass does not shatter, it can make you vulnerable to wind and water. Auto glass replacement protects against the dangers of torrential rain and howling high winds. 

Keeps Everyone Comfortable

A small crack in the windshield can lead to air and water entering your vehicle. If you experience a heatwave or a frigid cold snap, the air entering your vehicle can make everyone uncomfortable by creating a too-hot or too-cold environment inside your car. Water racing into your motor vehicle also causes immense discomfort for you and your passengers.

Creates Visual Clarity

Safety comes up again on our list for auto glass replacement. Whether a crack appears on the windshield or one of the windows on the side of your car, you can expect not to have the proper clarity to operate the motor vehicle. Getting a damaged pane of glass replaced removes any clarity issues that can put you and your passengers in danger. Auto glass cracks become a greater visual clarity issue when it rains.

What Should I Do After Auto Glass Breaks?

Whether a crack turns into broken auto glass or auto glass shatters because of a super-strong impact, you should learn about the steps that you should take to receive an immediate replacement of the damaged auto glass.

First, move the vehicle to a safe spot away from traffic. Second, remove as much of the shattered glass as possible from inside your vehicle to prevent cuts. Third, call Dan’s Glass to transfer your motor vehicle to our shop for instant auto glass replacement. While we replace your car’s glass, contact your insurance company to receive an auto insurance claim form. Make sure to take photographs of the damaged glass to submit with your detailed claim.

Dan’s Glass offers our customers peace of mind knowing they receive prompt service that gets their motor vehicles back on the road.

Auto Glass Replacement May Be Faster and Cheaper Than You Thought

Did you know that your car’s windshield is considered a safety feature? Yes, the windshield allows you to look across your driving plane to detect oncoming traffic and pedestrians. However, its especially important purpose is to protect you from flying debris. With all the impacts windshields take, as well as other glass panes on your car, one day your car is inevitably going to need auto glass replacement.

Auto glass replacement can cost a considerable amount of money, if you take your car to the wrong business. It also can take several days to get your car back. Nonetheless, auto glass replacement may be faster and cheaper than you think if you take your car in for work at a highly-rated business such as Dan’s Glass.

What Should I Do If I Discover Broken Car Glass?

The first impulse after noticing your vehicle has sustained damage as the result of broken glass should be to call 911 to report a possible crime. Maybe an object fell and shattered the glass, but you cannot be sure until a law enforcement agency conducts an investigation. Calling 911 is important because if a thief committed a crime, the thief might be still in the area, even nearby.

You also must file a detailed insurance claim with your car insurance company. Submit photographs of the damage, as well as a copy of the report filed by the law enforcement agency in charge of the investigation. The more detailed information that you provide your insurance company, the more likely you get your car insurance claim approved.

The last step to take after discovering broken car glass involves bringing your motor vehicle in for auto glass replacement at Dan’s Glass. One of our specialists conducts a thorough inspection of your vehicle before providing a cost estimate and an expected date for returning your car.
