The use of hard plastic resins to repair auto windshields can now make a damaged windshield stronger than when it was new. But not all Phoenix auto glass services are using the newest and best systems. It is worthwhile when choosing a company to ask them what technology they are using. Using outdated systems can cost you more down the road and can be a threat to your safety when driving your car.
An auto windshield is sort of like a sandwich with a poly layer placed between layers of glass. It is the flexibility of this middle poly layer that keeps the window from splintering. When an object hits the outer layer of glass cracks can result. While these cracks may be extremely tiny, practically invisible, air can pass into the cracks contaminating the inner layer. This air contamination causes the brownish discoloration that indicates a problem. All the air must be removed to successfully repair the damage. It is the removal of the air where the older systems of plastic resin injection fall short.
The latest and probably the best windshield repair system is know as “Prism Technology”. Prism technology greatly simplifies the repair job for the technician. No longer does the technician have to guess if all the air is removed from the damaged area. Older technologies remove the air through the same injector that is inserting the resin. This is inefficient and small bubbles of air can remain. However, Prism Technology removes all the air by creating a dry vacuum which sucks all the air out before injecting the resin.
In order to avoid future problems of a totally shattered windshield and, perhaps, injuries to you and your family, always inquire if the repair companies are using the latest dry suction systems. Ask them to show you the equipment and explain how it works. Good companies will have illustrated brochures that will explain how it works to ordinary people.
When searching online for an auto glass repair company be careful that you are not talking to a call center in another state or country. Make sure you are actually talking to the people who are going to do the repair. Do not try to find just the cheapest price through a third party search engine. Remember you often get what you pay for. They may be charging that unbelievably low price by using sub-standard materials and unskilled and poorly trained technicians.
A good company will always back up their work with a warranty. Make sure to get all estimates in writing. Keep in mind that the health of you and your family depend on quality work. Imagine the tragedy of your windshield shattering while traveling 75 miles per hour on a highway.
