The 4-Step Process of Windshield Replacement Services

When a windshield cracks, or gets a chip in a place that obstructs our view, replacing it shouldn’t be a hassle. Yet, the experience may seem overwhelming. Still, cracked and chipped windshields are more than an inconvenience. They can also be dangerous. 

For the safety of ourselves and our passengers, when a crack is too big to repair, we have no choice but to get it replaced. For many, this sounds like a complete hassle. And for good reason. No one wants to give up their car for a lengthy amount of time. 

That’s why we are going to go over the process of mobile windshield replacement services so you can be less apprehensive about the experience. Here is a breakdown of a simple four-step process that’s easy and stress-free. 

Step One - Evaluation

The first thing our experts need to do is talk to you on the phone. First, they’ll ask you a few questions to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Then, if a replacement is needed, they’ll be able to give you a quote and order the glass. 

Step Two - Getting Ready

When the assessment step has finished, the technician will prepare the vehicle for repair or replacement by cleaning the glass. This step removes any debris so that it doesn’t interfere with the next step. 

Step Three - Get the Job Done

At this point, the technician will replace your windshield. The technician will remove the old one, prepare the frame, and install a new one. It’s held into place with special adhesives and techniques. 

Step Four - Inspect the Job

Finally, the technician will go over all of their work. This step ensures that the windshield is intact. They’re also making sure the glass is clean and clear, without any obstructions for the driver.
