When a pop bottle flew off of a freeway overpass and smashed into my car window, I knew that I had a problem. I was already late to work, and I had no idea how I was going to have time to get the damage repaired. Fortunately, a friend of mine told me about a place that offered mobile windshield repair. They came out the same day, worked on my car, and replaced the window--all while I sat at my desk and helped clients. It was really amazing to have their help, and I couldn't have done it without them. This blog is all about mobile windshield repair.
Driving is less enjoyable if you do not have the right glass or there is damage. This may be due to glare from the winter sun or a small crack that is distracting when you drive. These problems are not only annoying, but they can also affect the safety of your car. The following tips will help make your car safer and more enjoyable to drive:
1. Legal Ways to Reduce Glare with Windshield Tinting
Tinting the front windshield of cars is illegal in most states but there are solutions to reduce glare and make your car safer to drive. You may want to consider options like having a mobile windshield repair service replace the windshield with modern glass that has an antiglare treatment. Another option is to have the top of the windshield tinted, but you will want to check the regulations in your area to see if this is legal.
2. Repairing Dangerous Cracks on Windshields and Other Glass
The cracks of windshields and auto glass can be distracting and dangerous. They are also illegal and need to be repaired if they are on the front windshield. There are mobile windshield services that can help you with these emergency auto glass repairs to make your car safer to drive and help avoid getting tickets for a cracked windshield.
3. Tinting Rear Windows to Prevent Wear and Protect Windows
The rear windows of your car can also affect comfort, as well as wear of your car and safety. Tint the back windows if it is legal in your area to reduce wear of material in the interior and make your car safer. If it is not legal to use tinting films, contact a mobile auto glass repair service and talk to them about using antiglare glass and other legal solutions for the rear windshield and windows.
4. Repairing Safety Glass in Older Cars to Make Your Car Safer
In older cars (especially classics), the auto glass may not be modern safety glass. If you have a car with outdated glass, it may be a good idea to contact an auto glass repair service about solutions to make your car safer. Sometimes, window tint films are a good solution, or you may want to have the glass completely replaced.
These are some tips that will make your car safer and more enjoyable to drive. If you need repairs to the glass in your car, contact a mobile windshield repair service, like Lloyd’s of Shelton Auto Glass LLC, for help with some of these repairs.
