Safelite Buys Guardian

Guardian Industries is selling the assets of Guardian Auto Glass LLC to Safelite Group. Guardian Auto Glass operates 60 retail locations in 12 states,including Arizona.

“Guardian’s well-established brand, commitment to high-quality customer service, and wide footprint made it attractive to Safelite in its goal to become the natural choice for vehicle-glass repair and replacement services in the U.S." says Safelite CEO Tom Feeney.

As Safelite continues to buy up all the independent auto glass shops across America, consumers are left with fewer choices for auto glass repair and replacement. The folks at Safelite want to ensure that you have no choice at all.

Pride Auto Glass, an independent auto glass company, provides you with the personalized service the mega-companies can't.

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.
