Celebrating Three Years Serving Arizona Auto Glass Needs

This month we celebrate three years doing business as Pride Auto Glass here in Arizona, and we want to thank all of our friends and customers for their business and support.

A History of Auto Glass

When the first automobile windshields were introduced, most were a piece of plate glass just like the glass used for house windows. When one of these early cars was involved in an accident, it was not uncommon for the driver or passengers to be injured or lose their life due to flying shards of glass.

Qualified Arizona Windshield Technicians

With all the latest advancements in automobile glass and windshield technology, it is imperative that automobile owners choose experienced and reliable auto glass repair and replacement services. The auto glass and windshields in today's automobiles contain sensors and cameras and other electronic devices for collision avoidance systems, auto braking systems and rearview camera systems.

Auto Glass Windshield Repair Methods

The standard windshield repair method uses a manually operated pressure injector to disseminate the auto glass repair resin into the damaged area without first removing any of the air that may be trapped inside. Properly performed, the pressure injection process will bleed out any air by displacement when the resin fills the damaged space.

Unique New Auto Glass Technologies

Major auto manufacturers are exploring ways to bring technology currently used to make sunroofs electronically tinted to other glass panels in the car, potentially offering windows which can shade over on demand. 

Acoustic Vinyl Windshield Technology

Automotive designers are continually working to make motor vehicle interiors more quiet and comfortable. Research tests have shown that outside noise is often transmitted through the vehicle’s windshield. One way to reduce noise is to increase the thickness of the glass. However, this provides marginal noise reduction and adds weight to the vehicle.

The Differences of OEM and Aftermarket Auto Glass

An OEM windshield is identical to the original, factory installed windshield that came with your car when it was new. OEM windshields may not be manufactured by the company who made the windshield originally installed on your car, but they are identical in almost every way.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) augment a vehicle's operating systems for improved safety and better driving. ADAS safety features are designed to avoid collisions and accidents by offering technologies that alert the driver, implement safeguards and even take over control of the vehicle. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are one of the fastest-growing segments in the automotive electronics industry.

Cleaning the Glass in Your Automobile

Cleaning the windows on your auto is a never ending task. The glass in your automobile is inundated with dirt, bird messes, bugs, and other debris on a daily basis. Clean auto glass helps you drive better by improving your visibility while driving. 

Gorilla Glass Hybrid Windshield

Corning Gorilla Glass hybrid windshield technology is a light-weight innovation set to debut on the all-new Ford GT. Inspired by advances in consumer electronics like smartphones and tablets, the three-layer hybrid window consists of Corning Gorilla Glass, thermoplastic and annealed glass applications. A Gorilla Glass hybrid windshield is thinner than traditional laminate glass, and will improve vehicle performance by reducing weight.
