Windshield Replacement: Everything You Need to Know

Windshields are a surprisingly complex portion of your vehicle. They make up a large segment of the work we do here at Taylor Auto Glass, and it’s exactly why we spend so much time writing about them here on the blog. We thought it would be a good idea to regroup and recap some of the posts that our readers have found helpful over the last year – so we’ve created a guide!

Fun Facts

Have you ever been curious how a windshield is made?

Have you ever pondered the history of auto glass?

We certainly have, on both accounts, and put together some fun facts for you that might come as a surprise!

We even wrote pieces on just what goes into making the panoramic windshields that are common to RVs and why your glass doesn’t shatter on impact (hint, your windshield has more than one layer!).

Trust the Experts

As leading experts in Greensboro windshield replacement and repair, we know just how dangerous it can be without the right equipment and how you should avoid attempting to do it yourself.  Repairing your windshield yourself may be tempting to try and save a few dollars, but in the long run, it can end up costing you far more than it saves you up front. If you’re still convinced doing it yourself is the best idea, we humbly suggest you check out our piece on the best ways to repair your windshield.

Knowledge is Power

Windshield replacement, particularly mobile windshield replacement (which is a service we proudly offer) is complex, and when you’re faced with a crack or chip, there are a few questions you should ask of your windshield replacement experts. It’s also important to consider whether your windshield needs replacing or simply repairing. We even made a handy guide with a few simple questions to help you figure out which path is right for your vehicle. Finally, you’d be surprised at some of the myths that are floating around out there.  We debunk some of the most common ones we hear on a daily basis.

Repair and Prevention

We know, advice about windshield damage prevention might seem counterproductive to our business model, but we value your safety above all else. We want to make sure you understand what some of the most common causes for windshield cracks might be, how tough the winter months can be out on your windshield, and help you understand whether or not you should let us weatherproof your windshield. Finally, don’t let the potential cost of repair deter you.  Did you know your insurance policy may just cover auto glass repair? We even make the insurance filing easy by doing it for you!
