Phoenix Auto Glass - Fast Effective Service

By Lee Lively

Phoenix auto glass repair has a number of efficient and prompt staff members that are ready to repair a cracked windscreen on site. With over a decades experience in auto glass repairs, employees can only offer the most professional service available. Even if the damaged screen is so great that it needs replacing entirely, a free trip to a person's home or office is added to this service.

For chipped and cracked windscreens, a repair is made using a clear resin that can blend in with the auto glass and appear as good as new. It has adhesive qualities so be assured once it is repaired, chips and cracks will not need a second coating. The windscreen will not need any reinforcement after the initial restoration.

The procedure takes under an hour to carry out and clients can depend upon the workmanship for optical clarity. That is, if the crack or chips are repaired in time. If left for too long the resin will not adhere to the surface of the glass and a costly replacement will have to be done. The size of the damage is also an aspect to consider when making an examination. Chips the size of a 50 cent coin or less are acceptable as are cracks under twelve inches in length.

A road-worthy check will have a vehicle passed if the damage was seen to straight away. This means a more expensive procedure has been avoided. If a replacement has been rendered then a test drive to ensure there are no leaks is needed. When being built the vehicle had urethane to set the windscreen into place. A good quality glue such as this is needed to make sure it sets correctly.

For the convenience of the client the repairs or replacement can be carried out at a location suitable to them. To save the client money and after market auto part can be purchased at good value. Workers will do their best to make sure the job is well done.

The process of a repair involves placing a mirror beneath the problem to give an accurate visual description to the technician. The damaged part is cleaned of excess debris, including small chips of glass and dried in preparation fro the resin. A tool especially designed for the repair job, called a piston, sucks out the air in the chip or crack. This ensures clarity in the repair. The resin is applied and a film covers it to keep it in position until it dries.

As a finishing touch, ultra violet light is manipulated over the set resin to make it 100% hard. The Phoenix Auto Glass staff working on the vehicle will give the windshield a wash over and polish so it looks as good as new. Discounts are available on all auto glass.
