Avoid ‘Shocking’ Your Windshield
Glass can withstand substantial impact from flying debris or ice on icy roads, but it might not be able to withstand sudden temperature changes. Shocking glass can cause cracks, pits, and sometimes even shatter. You can melt ice on your windows with regular tap water instead of heating water from the stove. Although hot water can speed up melting, it could cause damage to your windshield.

Auto glass that has been damaged should be replaced
Frost can cause cracks in your windows. We can replace your windows before they freeze if they are damaged or cracked. Broken windshields can cause safety issues that could affect everyone in your car. You can check with your insurance company to find out if they will pay for a replacement glass. Most insurance companies won’t raise your rates to replace the windshield.

De-Icers or Ice Scrapers are your best bet
Tap water from a hose may melt ice on your vehicle, but it is best to use an ice scraper to remove it manually. Rain-X Deicer is a good deicer that you can use as windshield washer fluids in winter. These products are fast and can be used to remove ice quickly.
Keep the glass clean around the car
Windshield wipers need to work twice as hard to clean dirty windshields. It is important to keep your windshield clean all year. Your windshield will stay clean and in good condition. Bring in stubborn stains to our service center. We can help you remove the stain. If your windshield wipers are damaged or worn, we can replace them.
