Should I use covered parking for my car? This is not a requirement, though if you can park in a shaded area, your windshield installer would greatly appreciate it!!
Can you put my existing stickers on my new car windshield? Sometimes, this is possible. What we will do is carefully remove the sticker and then save its adhesive for the new application. Note, however, that if you have military stickers, the process might be more challenging. This is because military stickers are designed to break apart upon their removal. If this happens, we will save all the pieces so you can exchange it for new stickers.
What about the rear view mirrors? Will they be attached in the same area? Yes, because most windshields come with the bracket already applied to it. It just becomes a matter of removing the existing mirror and reattaching it to the new windshield bracket.

Will I have to worry about my automobile getting damaged during the windshield replacement? Definitely not. Nothing on your car will get harmed during your windshield replacement.
Why won’t the window on my door work? When this happens, usually there is a motor problem. But if your motor appears to be working normally, chances are something is wrong with your regulator. In any case, since motors and regulars are often distributed as a combined unit, repairs on either of these can be costly. But you would still save more money if you used our services.
Would I be breaking the law if I drove with a windshield that was broken? According to the laws of Arizona, if police believe your windshield is not safe they can give you a ticket. So, yes, it is possible that you can get in legal trouble with a broken windshield. However, even if you do get warned, you will be given five days to repair your auto windshield before getting fined. This gives you plenty of time to address the problem, especially if you decide to use our company for the new windshield. As stated earlier in our FAQs, we are open 6 days a week, with very generous hours. We understand that things happen, and if you are in a bind you need a company that you can depend on. We do not want anyone to have to spend hundreds of dollars on a citation when their problem can be resolved for a fraction of that amount. The economy is just too bad to be giving the state court all your money.
Can I make special requests for my windshield? You are free to request whichever windshield brand you want, whether it is from your dealer or a particular factory. Note, however, that you or your insurance provider would incur an extra fee if necessary.
How is a auto windshield manufactured? Windshields go through lamination process which involves conjoining two panes of glass with a vinyl layer in-between. It is this vinyl sheet that gives the windshield its strength. So, if your windshield gets hit by a rock, only the topmost layer suffers damage.
Which windshields does your company use? Simply put, only the best. Our auto windshields either meet or surpass the qualifications set forth by the FMVSS. As far as brands, we use all of the well-known manufacturers ranging from LOF to Mopar. Of course, if you do not like these brands, we will accommodate personal requests.
Is every windshield the same? Our windshields are, because all of them must meet the standards established by the FMVSS. So, really it becomes a matter of preference, as most of the brands we use tend to get their glass from the same glass supplier. Ultimately, only the names are different.
How do I know who manufactured my automobile windshield? According to FMVSS, all windshields that are manufactured and sold in the United States must have the entire manufacturing plant details list on the windshield including the Department of Transportation (DOT) code. Typically, it is called a bug and will be located in the bottom corner of your windshield. You can get this DOT code from the windshield and enter into the glassBYTES/AGRR database to find out your windshield manufacturer details.
