 Although
windshield replacements can seem like normal car maintenance,
calling the first company that you find near you that does windshield replacements in Phoenix, Sunnyslope, Laveen, Cashion and Tolleson areas, isn't always the best solution.
Reason? While your windshield may seem like it just protects
you from weather, wind and bugs, it serves an even
greater purpose. It's actually a vital component of
your vehicle's safety net and helps support the roof
of your car. In reality, your windshield should
be taken as seriously as your seat belts and airbags.
The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration's
has said that more than 12,000 people die after being
ejected from a vehicle or critically injured during
a rollover every year. The National Glass Association's
(NGA) has confirmed that a significant percentage
of those fatalities occur because the windshield does
not remain firmly bonded to the roof. The
percentage is probably higher, but not all cases are
documented.
Doing your homework when selecting
a Phoenix windshield replacement company is important.
When selecting your Phoenix windshield replacement professional,
you should look for the following items:
-
 NGA
Logo (National Glass Association) so that you can
be assured that they are up-to-date on the latest
auto glass technology and best practices.
- Ask them if their windshield replacement technicians are trained and
certified by NGA.
- Ask them if they endorse AGRSS (Auto Glass Replacement
Standard)
- Ask how long the windshield replacement will take. If it will take
less than an hour, make sure that two windshield replacement technicians
will be present.
- Ask about the recommended Safe Driveaway time
to ensure that the adhesive used on the windshield will have adequate
time to bond.
 Not
all Phoenix windshield replacement companies are created equal. SunTec
Auto Glass is proud to say that we meet all five of
the auto glass guidelines outlined above. If you have
any further questions about the level of our windshield replacement service,
please do not hesitate to contact
us.
Depending on the damage to your windshield, you may
just need an auto glass
repair, which is much more economical.
However, you should consult one of our competent windshield replacement technicians
to be sure.
Basically, you need a windshield
replacement if:
- you have 3 or more chips
- the chip/crack is larger than a dollar bill
- visual clarity is impaired by Sand Pits or other
blemishes
