Now that it's starting to cool down here in Las Vegas, I wanted to give a few tips on what to do if your windshield has been struck by a rock. The temperature of the glass is the most important thing to be concerned with in the wintertime. If possible always park your car in the garage and if you don't have a garage, place a blanket on the windshield overnight and call us as soon as possible. You also don't want to turn the heater in your car on to quickly, the rapid temperature change can cause the crack to grow and then it might not be repairable.

With the weather starting to heat up I thought it would be a good idea to give a few hints on how to maintain your windshield in this brutal Las Vegas heat. If you have a chip or crack in your windshield it is very important to keep the windshield as cool as possible. If you can, always park in the shade and roll down your windows an inch or two so the heat doesn't build up in the vehicle. Never wash your car in the summer if you have even a small crack in your windshield. The rapid cooling of the window from the cold water will almost always end with the crack expanding, but don't worry if you call us as soon as possible we can usually come out that day, and once the windshield repair is completed you may wash your car right afterwards.
