Damaged auto glass, especially windshields, can be dangerous and unsafe. Here's what to know about auto glass replacement

- Every automotive glass center doesn't have the same expertise. All replace windshields. Some can only repair small chips. Better training and equipment lets larger centers repair more damage, safely. Vehicle glass repair is exacting work. Use professionals!
- Save money! Repair damage quickly. It won't heal by itself. It will get worse, and eventually require a windshield replacement, costing a lot more.
- Dealerships charge more to replace windshields than auto glass centers. Some dealers actually get the glass centers to do the replacement, anyway.
- In many cases, glass centers have mobile service, replacing windshields wherever the car is parked.
- OEM auto glass is the same quality as a factory windshield. But there are also less expensive non-OEM replacements available from both a car dealership or glass center. They are less expensive, but meet the same government safety standards.
- Miracle Auto Glass centers always have professional tools for window glass repair, door glass replacement, replacing car windshields, and everything else to do with car glass. There's a reason for using a special-purpose tools when installing glass.
- The wrong tools frequently damage moldings around the glass. If the moldings get damaged, they have to be replaced. That increases your cost. If they can be removed undamaged (a sign of skill), your cost is lower.
- You get good when you do the same thing, often. Whoever does the most auto glass work, probably does the best job. Still think a car dealership is a great place to get auto glass work done?
- Windshields are now part of your car's structural integrity. They keep your car as one strong unit. They're also required to be in place for your airbags to properly protect passengers in front seats.
