1. Is Fall a Good Time to Replace My Auto Glass?
Yes—fall is actually one of the best times of year to take care of auto glass issues. The moderate temperatures help adhesives cure properly, ensuring a secure bond. In extreme summer heat or winter cold, the curing process can be less reliable. Additionally, addressing cracks or chips in the fall can help prevent larger problems once winter sets in, when freezing temperatures may cause existing damage to worsen due to expansion and contraction of the glass.
If you’ve noticed any chips or cracks in your windshield or windows, fall is the perfect time to schedule a replacement.
2. How Long Does Auto Glass Replacement Take?
Most auto glass replacements take between 30 minutes to an hour. However, the total time also includes a curing period, typically about an hour, to ensure the adhesive sets properly. For best results, we recommend keeping your vehicle stationary and protected from the elements during this time. Our technicians at Low Price Auto Glass provide quick and professional service so you can get back on the road safely and efficiently.
3. Will My Insurance Cover the Replacement?
Insurance coverage for auto glass replacement depends on your specific policy. Many comprehensive insurance plans cover windshield and window replacements either fully or with a small deductible. During the fall season, it’s a good idea to review your policy to understand your coverage—especially before winter when road conditions may increase the risk of damage. At Low Price Auto Glass, we work with most major insurance providers and can assist you with the claims process to help you save time and money.
4. Can I Drive Immediately After Replacement?
While the replacement itself is quick, it’s important to wait until the adhesive has fully cured before driving your vehicle. In most cases, this takes about an hour. However, environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity—especially during cooler fall mornings—may slightly extend curing time. Our technicians will let you know exactly when it’s safe to drive your car after the service is complete.
We always prioritize safety and make sure every vehicle meets strict industry standards before it leaves our shop.
5. Are There Special Considerations for Fall?
Absolutely. Fall brings specific challenges that can impact your auto glass, such as:
- Falling Debris: Tree branches, acorns, and other debris can easily cause chips or cracks, especially if you’re parked outdoors.
- Temperature Swings: Warm days and cool nights can cause minor cracks to expand, turning small problems into bigger ones.
- Increased Moisture: Fog, dew, and rain can seep into existing cracks, weakening the structural integrity of your glass.
Being proactive in the fall can help prevent costly repairs down the road. Whether you need a full replacement or a simple repair, our team is here to help.
