When to Replace Your Damaged Windshield

We see it fairly often in our commutes, vehicles with cracked or even broken windshields out on the road. Often times auto owners take for granted the windshield's contribution to a vehicle's structural integrity.

Anatomy of a Rock Chip Repair

It's a common occurrence for a rock to get bounced up onto your windshield from other vehicles and cause damage afterward. Fortunately, having a chip filled is quick and cost-effective. Most insurance companies will cover the cost of the repair, and most chips can be filled in less than thirty minutes.

Qualities of a Trustworthy Business

Trustworthiness is the foundation for any businesses success. In the consumer's search for goods and services, they seek businesses they can trust. Because in the absence of trust, they must constantly be on the lookout for the possibility that those they are dealing with are trying to take advantage of them for their own benefit. The business world is full of undependability and insincerity. If there is no trust, consumers must be on guard.

Pride In Workmanship

A company that takes pride in their workmanship offers guarantees, and they are the kind of people you want to do business with when it comes to servicing your vehicle's auto glass needs.

Corning Gorilla Glass Has Eyes On The Auto Glass Industry

Repair and replacement technicians have mixed reactions to reports that Corning Gorilla Glass, which is used in smartphones, tablets and laptops is coming to the automotive market.

The ultra-tough glass is expected to head to "at least one" auto manufacturer according to Corning.

Corning's vice-president Jeffery Evenson made the comment while talking at an MIT technology review mobile summit in San Francisco recently.

Corning is only talking about replacing "some" auto glass at present, which might not necessarily mean windshields, but smaller parts of glass bodywork.

Indeed, the technology will be arriving in automobiles sometime next year. The BMW i8 will be the first production car to use the chemically hardened material, which is more durable, lighter and provides more sound deadening than conventional laminated automotive glass. BMW said it will be used only for the rear window, for sound deadening purposes.
