Do I
have to go where my insurance company tells me?
No! You have the Right to Choose.
Don't be intimidated by your insurance company when they tell
you that going to a shop besides the one they say will cost you
extra. Some insurance companies imply that you will get an
unsatisfactory job from any shop other than the one they want
you to go to. They may also tell you that you will have to pay
any difference in price if you don't go to the shop that they
recommend. It is your right as a policy
holder to go where you want to go! Before you go where
your insurance company wants you to go, ask whether that shop
uses OEM windshields, the proper urethane sealant and primers
and provides a lifetime warranty. If they don't, tell your
insurance company you are not going to a shop that gambles with
your safety.

What is O.E.M.
Glass?
O.E.M. stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. When you
purchase a new vehicle and drive it off the showroom floor,
every component on the vehicle is considered to be O.E.M.
(Fenders bumper, glass, muffler.) When you replace a part such
as a fender or windshield that is not made by the car
manufacturer you are replacing the O.E.M. part with an
aftermarket part. The aftermarket part is not the original
equipment for your car and may not be as high quality.
Can I drive my car
immediately after the windshield is installed?
No! This could be a deadly mistake. Safe Drive Away time is the
amount of time that your car is required to remain out of
service until the windshield can properly operate as a safety
device. The urethane that is used to hold your windshield in
place takes time to set up. The time varies depending on the
type of urethane and the weather conditions. On warm, high humid
days the urethane will set up faster than on cold, drier days.
This is why we do not install windshields in temperatures below
40 degrees. If we did we would be putting you and your family’s
safety at risk.
How long does my
car have to set after a windshield installation?
Most windshield installations require that the car remain out of
service for 2-3 hours depending on the humidity and temperature.
Upon request we can install the windshield with a special
chemically curing urethane with a drive away time of 1 hour.
What do I need to
do after a windshield installation?
Here are some post installation guidelines:
• Do not pressure wash
your vehicle for 24 hours
• Leave a ¼ inch gap in your door glass to prevent build up of
air pressure
in
the car. This build up of pressure can cause the windshield to
leak.
• Do not slam the doors for the first 24 hours
• Limit driving for first 24 hours if possible
• Remove any tape that was used after 24 hours
How long does it
take to do installations on antique cars?
Depending on the make, model, year, and what glass needs to be
replaced anywhere from 1 day to 1 week. No car is rushed to get
it out the door!
Do I have to bring
my antique car to you?
Yes, with any type of glass fabrication the time involved in
cutting, seaming, and fitting requires special equipment. This
equipment is located at our facility.
Will my car be
kept inside and secure?
Yes, our large facility has room to store and work around your
car. Our building is monitored by a state of the art security
system tied in with both the police and fire department.
