WINDSHIELD SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON SUMMER ROAD TRIP SAFETY CHECK
Alexandria, Virginia, July 5, 2000 - Oil, wiper fluid, and tire pressure are standards on the checklist before taking a summer road trip. Experts recommend adding another item, as well: inspecting the windshield for cracks and dings. "With summer's heat, what was small windshield damage can expand and ultimately require the windshield to be replaced," said Mike Burstein, President of Dominion Windshield Repair, Inc., a mobile windshield repair company in Alexandria, Virginia that serves all of Northern Virginia. "The road vibration of a long trip when combined with the heat of the summer sun adds to the potential for small damages to expand and require replacement for continued safe service. We advise having the damage repaired before you set out on your summer vacation so you prevent the surprise of an emergency windshield replacement along the way."
To repair a windshield, resin is injected into the damaged area using computerized equipment, filling and sealing the breakage and restoring the windshield's strength. Repair, which is offered as a mobile service, costs about 25 percent of the price of a replacement windshield installation. For many consumers, the service ends up being free, because the majority of insurance companies will reimburse their insured for the entire cost of windshield repair, including the deductible.
Windshield repair provides another kind of safety too. Repairing the original windshield, rather than replacing it, preserves the factory seal so that the vehicle retains its structural integrity.
"I'm finding that more and more consumers are discovering the benefits, the affordability, and convenience of windshield repair," said Burstein.
