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…

Car Windshield Urethane – To Heat or Not To Heat

Car Windshield Urethane – To Heat or Not To Heat

Byadmin

There are a many different kinds of automotive windshield urethane (the material used to adhere the glass to the car and keep it safely in place.) Some shops use a lesser quality urethane – something Titan wouldn’t even use in the summer – for a replacement in the middle of winter. This is a very unsafe practice to save a few dollars. Another misconception about cold weather installations is the heating of urethane. This is a marketing ploy by big auto glass companies, making you think you need to have the urethane heated. This is untrue; it is because the urethane they choose to use requires it, not because it somehow makes the install safer. The urethane we use uses humidity to cure, doesn’t require…

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…

Six Reasons Why We Love Working with Auto Body Shops and Dealerships

Byadmin

Like most independent auto glass replacement companies, we love working with auto body shops and dealerships. Why, you ask? Lots of reasons! 1.) You understand the finer points of windshield replacement and appreciate a job well done. 2.) We know right where you will be. (You stay in one place and so does the target vehicle.) 3.) You usually have those nice, warm and snug buildings where we can complete our work out of the wind, rain and snow! 4.) You appreciate that we purchase top quality materials – both the windshields and the urethane — and understand why our services might cost a little more than the big auto glass company that uses second quality materials 5.) You have lots of cars to work on…

Why Contact a Local Company for Your Windshield Replacement

Why Contact a Local Company for Your Windshield Replacement

Byadmin

Last month, Governor Charlie Baker asked Massachusetts residents to patronize local businesses and sought to turn Valentine’s Day into Valentine’s Week to help local retailers, restaurants, and other firms recover some of the business lost to the snow. If you need a windshield replacement, consider calling a local firm. (Even if it isn’t Titan.) While you would think that automotive glass replacement is impervious to the weather, local glass shops have also taken a hit. People have been staying home with all the bad weather and the number of replacement calls has dropped significantly. And, if we don’t work, we don’t get paid. Support your local businesses. If you need your windshield or other auto glass replaced, you can be sure that with Titan you’re…

How NOT to repair a cracked windshield

Byadmin

Perhaps you may have seen this video making the rounds of your friends’ social media feeds – How to repair a cracked windshield. So what’s the story behind the video? The solvents in the alcohol and bug spray dissolve the coating on the windshield, allowing the salt to penetrate the crack and hide it. Contrary to what the video title states, this treatment does not repair the windshield; it only hides the problem. Any windshield with a crack this large needs to be immediately replaced, as your windshield is a vital part of your car’s safety features. While you might be tempted to do a quick DIY fix for windshield cracks, this sort of problem is best left to professionals, who will fix it right…

Finished! BMW M3 Custom Roof & Windshield Replacement

Byadmin

Recently, we posted a blog about Sublime Auto Restoration’s BMW M3 carbon fiber roof replacement, where they were going to cut off the roof of a BMW, manufacture an in-house custom carbon fiber roof, and replace it onto the BMW’s frame. Titan went in before they began working on the roof and removed the windshield and back-glass. Sublime Auto Restorations has finished installing the new lighter carbon fiber roof and Titan Auto Glass went back in to re-install the windshield and back-glass. The car is looking amazing. From this point the car will be polished to an even higher mirror-like sheen, and then the entire car will be detailed. Sublime Auto Restorations takes their work seriously, and that’s why when they need auto glass replacements,…

Racing BMW M3 Custom Windshield Placement

Byadmin

Our friends at Sublime Auto Restoration called us up and asked us to help them on one of their clients’ cars that they’re working on. This was a racing BMW M3 (turbo).   This M3 is fitted with a carbon fiber hood and a carbon fiber trunk for reduced weight. The owner now wants to have the factory roof cut and replaced with a carbon fiber roof, reducing the weight even more. These carbon fiber pieces aren’t bought as aftermarket parts but actually made in house at Sublime Auto Restoration. These custom jobs require top tier fit and finish, that’s why Titan Auto Glass was called.   We removed the windshield and the backglass, and now Sublime Auto Restoration is working on cutting the old…
