Want Help Identifying Your Windshield Repair Needs?


Is it a considerable break or a small nick? In the event your window has a chip that looks just like a bull's-eye, a B.B. chip or a flowered chip, then an epoxy resin may very well be a fairly easy quick fix to save you money, that can either be done by a repair technician or by yourself, from home, with a window repair kit. If you're able to run your fingernail across the crack and it doesn't get hooked, and when the chip is around 1-inch, then a lower viscosity window resin can be used in the repair process, which means if you're comfortable repairing your windshield yourself, an at home repair kit will be adequate. For those who have spider web cracks or any surface damage greater than an inch, you'll most likely need to replace your whole window to prevent the glass from splintering more. If you're uncertain of your windshield repair needs, call Dublin Cadillac at (866) 337-8398 and schedule an appointment to have our certified Cadillac mechanics take a look.

For the DUBLIN Self-Repairer - Repair Carefully

Epoxy is a liquid bonding agent that can seal chips in your windshield. There are a number of epoxies, ranging from 20 to 2400 cps - a dimension of viscosity. Epoxy resin treatments are non-permanent repairs and will leave behind subtle blemishes on your windshield. Auto glass replacement refers to the complete replacement of your windshield. Full window replacement is more expensive than epoxy fixes due to labor costs and the expense of an entirely new, more sturdy, sheet of glass.
  

What is The Difference Between Epoxy Windshield Repair and Auto Glass Replacement Services?

For the DUBLIN Self-Repairer - Repair Carefully

It's a good idea not to begin to restore your windshield yourself if you do not possess a lot of experience working with the equipment involved with replacing windows or applying epoxy. The reason for caution is basically that you want to avoid forming any more harm to your windshield or to yourself, and you want to ensure that the repair method you decide on is the appropriate fix. Resins are graded dependent on viscosity. Lower viscosity - the level usually seen in at home repair kits-suggests the epoxy is thinner while higher viscosity resins possess a thicker, commercial-grade epoxy. Commercial-grade epoxy resins along with the tools required to administer the resins typically are not sold in stores. At home windshield repair kits normally don't offer industrial quality epoxy resins, which means retailer epoxy resins have a tendency to possess a limited repair success. If you want to go the resin-repair route, Dublin Cadillac suggests bringing your car into our DUBLIN auto repair shop.
