Dallas Area Windshield Replacement Company Advises Letting a Professional Determine if a Cracked Windshield Needs Replacement or Repairing

A Dallas area windshield replacement company strongly advises letting a windshield professional make the determination as to whether a cracked windshield can be repaired or needs replacement. The name of this company is Faith Low Price Autoglass. They have been serving the windshield needs of those in Dallas and the vicinity for many years now. They are faced with making this determination on a regular basis and they know all the key factors that go into making this decision. Those at the company caution that making the wrong choice here can create a very unsafe condition while driving.

Company spokesperson Dan elaborated on this more by saying, “Always the number one issue when we determine whether to repair or replace a cracked windshield is safety. You certainly don’t want your windshield to fail and subsequently implode while you are driving down the highway at speed. The results from this can be catastrophic, to say the least. That’s why it’s not worth taking chances by making a windshield replacement or repair decision yourself unless you have some expertise on the matter. This is especially true when you consider that most insurance companies cover the complete cost of the repair or replacement. It’s best to leave this decision to a professional and they will make the right call for you.”

Dan also mentioned one other big reason why a windshield repair expert should be the one to determine if a cracked windshield needs replacing. He says, “Many people do not realize what a big role a windshield plays in the structural integrity of a vehicle's cabin. They contribute 40% to a vehicle cabs structural integrity in a front-end collision and over 65% in a rollover situation. This is yet another reason why a windshield replacement or repair decision is so critical. It can be a decision that saves lives.”

He also pointed out that windshield service techs like theirs spend many hours participating in classroom and hands-on training. That is what makes them so qualified to decide if a customer’s cracked windshield can be repaired or a new one must be installed. He said their windshield techs look at such things as the length and depth of the crack. They also consider how close the crack is to the edge of the window.

Dan also mentioned that for many years car side and rear windows were not required to be made of laminated glass like windshields were. They were made of tempered glass. This means that when they got a crack or chip in them, total replacement was the only option. He says that is no longer the case as many auto manufacturers have started using laminated glass on side and rear windows too. Windshield professionals like them can now fix some chips and cracks in rear and side windows too.

One of the lesser-known services that Faith Low Price Autoglass offers is power window repairs. This is something that very few auto repair places are willing to take on because of how complicated it can sometimes be. The window specialists at the company do this type of repair all the time so its second nature to them. They even carry a large selection of replacement power window motors, switches, and related support parts right in stock.

The company also does a nice job of making themselves available to their customers. They are open six days a week and closed only on Sundays. Faith Low Price Autoglass also gives its customers many options when it comes to helping them resolve their windshield issues. This includes mobile windshield services, drop-off appointments, and they will even pick up a customer’s car and then return it to them after the repair is made. Faith Low Price Autoglass also stocks replacement windshields for both domestic and imported vehicles.
