The Problem With Cheap Windshields

Byadmin

This has happened to all of us – we try to save money by choosing the least expensive alternative, and end up regretting it later, when it turns out to be very poor quality. This customer found that out when choosing a new windshield replacement. Choosing the lowest-priced company to do the job resulted in a poorly-fitted replacement windshield, resulting in rust, rot, and leaks – click on the pictures below for more detail: To save time and money, some glass companies will skip the important step of “priming” exposed spots to prevent any moisture or contaminates from harming the pinchweld (the area where the windshield or back glass sits). Titan Auto Glass always primes any spots during an installation to ensure your vehicle’s pinchweld stays damage…

Better Rot Repair: What Goes Wrong and How You Can Take Control

Byadmin

Living in New England exposes your car to extreme weather conditions, which can lead to rust and rot. What you probably did not know, however, is that improper window repair could lead to premature decay by exposing unprotected steel. When damaged glass is removed during windshield replacement, bare metal can be exposed in the pinchweld. The pinchweld is the area in the car window where the windshield or back glass sits. In order to ensure quality auto glass repair, it is important to prime these exposed spots during an installation to prevent any moisture or contaminants from damaging the pinchweld. Unfortunately, many auto glass repair companies skip this crucial step in order to save time and money. Here at Titan Auto Glass, we make sure…

You Have The Right To Choose!

Byadmin

If you call your insurance company to file a claim for windshield repair or replacement, you may think the person you’re speaking to works for the insurance company. However, many insurance companies will forward your call directly to a third party group, often one that own an auto glass company. When you need to get your auto glass replaced, you have the right to choose which auto glass shop you want to work on your vehicle. Insurance companies and agents will often try to steer you towards their preferred provider, but always remember; you have the right to pick any shop you wish to replace or repair your auto glass regardless of what insurance companies or agents might scare you into thinking. It’s always best…

Windshield Replacement Commercials

Byadmin

We were watching a football game on TV recently and an advertisement came on for a competing auto glass replacement firm. In the few seconds the commercial was on, we were astonished to see a funny replacement technique being used. The installer didn’t use suction cups to hold the windshield as it was slid into place! He did have gloves on, something very important as the oils from your hands can impact the curing and the seal of the urethane, but he was holding the new windshield by the bottom as he slid it into place. This means that the gloves would have been right in the urethane. What a mess that would be! If you need your windshield or other auto glass replaced, you…

Removing the Wipers During a Windshield Replacement

Byadmin

Ever watch them replace the windshield on your car? If you haven’t, the next time you need a new windshield, watch what happens. If the repairman is doing his job correctly, you’ll see him remove the windshield wipers and cowl, not just push them back out of the way. This is incredibly important in order to get the proper seal. If the wipers are left in place, the installer has to jam the windshield in at an angle, something that might impact fit, and impede a safe install. If you need your windshield or other auto glass replaced, you can be sure that with Titan you’re getting the absolute best quality work. Titan Auto Glass is located in Woburn MA and we serve all of…

Cleaning Your Car’s Windshield

Cleaning Your Car’s Windshield

Byadmin

Keeping your windshield clean and clear is important. Dirty windshields hamper your visibility and could lead to accidents. Keep the wiper fluid topped off so you don’t run out. There’s nothing worse than an empty wiper fluid tank. Also, there are two sides to every story, and two sides to every window. While you may clean the outside of the windows every time you gas up, or run the car through the carwash, the insides need cleaning too. Be careful with the kind of glass cleaner you choose. Most glass cleaner contains ammonia which can be unpleasant, if not dangerous in the small enclosed area of a car. Ammonia also isn’t good for certain kinds of plastics, vinyl, rubber or leather used in the interior…
