Crack Repair:
Do you want to know a million dollar secret? Each year millions of dollars are wasted needlessly on windshield replacements when the windshields could have been repaired. Why don’t more glass companies spread the word about windshield repair? For a number of reasons. They either don’t know how to repair the cracks or they would rather try to sell you a $2-400 windshield. Or both!

At MasterGlass we are trained and equipped to provide the best possible repair and replacement service – depending upon your needs. We’d rather repair a windshield if possible to save you money.

What Can Be Repaired?
MasterGlass can repair chips the size of a dime or quarter. If your windshield was hit by a rock on the freeway, the chances are the damage can be repaired if caught early enough.

Damage that cannot be Repaired:
If the windshield was struck by a golf ball or anything larger than a stone, you will most likely need a replacement. If the long crack is spreading in all directions and is larger than a quarter it cannot be repaired.

The Process
MasterGlass will set an appointment and send a specially trained technician to your house or office to do the repair. The repair process involves injecting a scientifically formulated resin into the crack. The resin is cured under Ultra Violet light and the whole process takes just 25-45 minutes depending upon the type and size of the damage. The car can be driven immediately after the repair and needs no further special treatment.

How does it Look?
The crack should look 50-95% less noticeable, depending upon how long the damage has been there, and the type and size of the damage. Cosmetic results may vary.




Glass Replacement:
All Auto Glass is Not the Same

There are 3 broad categories of windshields.

1. Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM or Factory glass). This is from the same manufacturer that supplied the factory when the vehicle was made. It is considered the highest quality possible, as it is made under strict conformance to standards laid out by the vehicle manufacturer.
2. Factory Equivalent. This glass is the same high quality as the OEM but is classed as equivalent only because the glass is not supplied directly to the car manufacturer. The price is less expensive than OEM without sacrificing on quality.
3. Generic. This glass is made by domestic or overseas companies that are not approved to supply any car manufacturers during production. Their quality is not considered as high, but the price is less expensive than both OEM or Factory Equivalent.

Differences in Glass Quality
While there may be some small variation in the thickness of the glass between the Generic and OEM, this is not the main quality factor. The main difference is how well the windshield fits your vehicle. The windshield is not flat. It has a shape, curvature and specific size. Some of the generic windshields do not fit perfectly and may need some extra effort on the part of the installer to fit your vehicle. However all windshields installed by MasterGlass are safe and pass federal regulations.

What Type should You Choose
Despite that quality differences between the categories of glass, most people will not notice a difference. So your choice depends on a number of factors. Is the car your pride and joy? Will you be selling it soon? At MasterGlass we recommend OEM or factory equiavalent windshields, simply because the price difference is not great enough to even consider a lower quality generic windshield. The difference is usually only $15-25.
