The Problem With Cheap Windshields

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…

Quality Service: 2005 Hummer H2

This windshield replacement on a  Hummer H2 took place in Sudbury, MA. We had done this customer’s windshield before. He had found us by looking for a glass company that has experience with windshield replacements on Hummers. He had had it replaced several times by different companies, always with the same results: water leaks, air leaks, and whistling. After the first time Titan replaced it, all those issues went away. So it was a no-brainer that when a rock broke the windshield, that he called us again. Insurance was handled by Arbella Insurance.

A Repeat Customer Is A Happy Customer: 2000 Ford F350

We traveled up to Rowley, MA to do this windshield replacement on a 2000 Ford F350. This is a repeat commercial account that was so impressed with the first job that we had done for them that they called again for this one. The vehicle was leaking terribly to the point that they had to have the electrical system replaced. When we got there, it was obvious that this was a improper install; the windshield moulding was not fitting flush to the body, and there was rust and rot everywhere. Definitely a challenge, but we got it fixed, and leak free. Click on the photos below for more detail: If you need your windshield or other auto glass replaced, you can be sure that with…

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

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.

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…
