Auto Glass Repair
When Your Auto Glass Needs Attention
A cracked or chipped windshield isn’t just an eyesore; it can be a serious safety hazard. At AA Auto Glass & RV’s, we understand that your vehicle’s auto glass is a critical structural component, vital for the integrity of your car, truck, or RV, especially when it comes to airbag deployment. Ignoring minor damage can quickly lead to bigger, more expensive problems. Small chips can spread into large cracks due to temperature changes, vibrations, or even just hitting a bump in the road. This is why prompt auto glass repair is so important. We specialize in providing top-notch auto glass repair services across Utah and Southern Idaho, ensuring your vehicle is safe and sound. Whether it’s a rock chip from a highway drive or a small crack that’s starting to form, our expert technicians are equipped to handle it. We focus on repairing the damage whenever possible, which is often a more cost-effective and time-efficient solution than a full replacement. Our commitment is to restore the clarity and structural integrity of your auto glass, making sure you can drive with confidence.

The Importance of Prompt Rock Chip Repair
That little star or bullseye on your windshield from a stray rock might seem minor, but it’s a ticking time bomb for your auto glass. Prompt rock chip repair is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it prevents the chip from spreading. Temperature fluctuations, from the hot Utah sun to a cold winter morning, cause the glass to expand and contract, exacerbating the damage. Vibrations from driving, especially on rougher roads, can also cause the chip to grow. Secondly, repairing a chip is significantly less expensive than replacing the entire windshield. Our technicians use advanced resin injection techniques to fill the damaged area, restoring the glass’s structural integrity and preventing further cracking. This process not only saves you money but also maintains the original factory seal of your windshield, which is essential for your safety. We aim to make the repair process as seamless as possible, often completing it in under an hour. Don’t let a small chip turn into a major headache; explore our Blog for more tips on auto glass care.

When is Auto Glass Repair the Right Choice?
Deciding between auto glass repair and replacement can sometimes be tricky, but there are clear indicators that repair is the best option. Generally, if a chip is smaller than a quarter, or a crack is less than six inches long and not directly in the driver’s line of sight, repair is often feasible. Our skilled technicians at AA Auto Glass & RV’s will assess the damage thoroughly. We consider factors like the depth of the damage, its location on the windshield, and whether the glass has been compromised by dirt or moisture. Repairing chips and small cracks involves injecting a special resin that bonds with the glass, restoring its strength and clarity. This method is not only environmentally friendly, as it reduces waste, but it also saves you time and money compared to a full windshield replacement. If you’re unsure whether your auto glass damage is repairable, it’s always best to get a professional opinion. We’re dedicated to providing the most effective and economical solution for your auto glass needs. You can see examples of our work in our Gallery.
Our Expert Auto Glass Repair Process
At AA Auto Glass & RV’s, our auto glass repair process is designed for efficiency, effectiveness, and minimal disruption to your day. When you bring your vehicle to us, or when we come to you for mobile service, our certified technicians begin with a thorough inspection of the damaged area. They’ll determine if the damage is a candidate for repair, considering its size, depth, and location. If repair is suitable, the technician will carefully clean the chipped or cracked area to remove any debris or moisture. This is a critical step for ensuring a strong bond with the repair resin. Next, a special, optically clear resin is injected into the damaged area under pressure. This resin fills the void, bonding the glass fragments together and preventing the damage from spreading. The resin is then cured using a UV light, which hardens it and restores the glass’s structural integrity. Finally, the repaired area is polished smooth, often making the damage nearly invisible. The entire process typically takes less than an hour, allowing you to get back on the road quickly and safely. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship, ensuring your auto glass is as good as new. For more about our commitment to quality, check out our About Us page.
