WINDSHIELDS (WINDSCREENS)

​Basic information about auto glass installations or repair 

**Basic Information About Auto Glass Installations and Repairs**

**Replace or Repair?**

Car owners often wonder whether to replace or repair a cracked or chipped windshield. Here are some guidelines:

- **Replacement is necessary** if the crack is more than a couple of inches wide or located on the driver's side, as repairs can lead to distortions that distract the driver.
- Cracks along the edges are typically not repairable since they can spread easily.

**Importance of a Properly Installed Windshield**

A properly installed windshield is crucial for safety because it:

- Protects occupants from being ejected during an accident.
- Prevents the roof from collapsing.
- Ensures that deployed airbags function properly.

**Cost of Windshield Replacement**

The price of a replacement windshield varies based on:

1. **Size**: Larger and newer windshields cost more.
2. **Complexity and Fittings**: Features like sensors and mirror attachments can increase costs. 

   - **OEM Windshields**: Identical to the original, made to factory specifications, but may come from different manufacturers.
   - **Aftermarket Windshields**: Produced by third parties, which may not meet OEM standards, leading to potential quality issues.

Windshields are produced by specialized companies under strict manufacturer guidelines, and pricing can fluctuate with different suppliers.

Windshield replacement is complex, and some states have specific laws governing it. While states like Arizona may have lenient regulations, driving with a cracked windshield is still unsafe. 

AUTO GLASS WARRANTY 

We warranty the installation of your windshield or rear window for as long as 90 days. This means that your new windshield or rear window will be properly installed and sealed by an experienced technician. It will not leak unless it is broken or the car rusts around it, in which case there is no coverage under the warranty. Should you ever have a problem with leakage of your windshield or rear window, or are dissatisfied for any reason, just contact any Aguila De Coatza Auto Glass location and we will be happy to schedule an appointment to determine if the work is covered by warranty.

If our original work needs adjustment, we will do it at no cost to you. At Aguila De Coatza Auto Glass, we are ready to stand behind our work and to stand behind you, our customer. We work for your complete satisfaction!

This warranty covers only the replacement mentioned above and does not cover any incidental or consequential damages. There are no warranties that extend beyond those expressed. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages and/or do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above statements in this paragraph may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific, legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

6 6-month warranty:  We warranty your automobile glass in normal use against any future leaks or damage due to improper installation as long as you own your vehicle.  We will restore the auto glass (including labor and materials) to proper condition at no cost to you as long as you own your car.

In some cases, we may notify you about pre-existing conditions on your vehicle or damages to your vehicle from previous repairs. We will try to correct these conditions if possible, but we can't warranty any previous damages. Please be aware that UV light, sun, and rain can damage previous plastics and delicate materials in your vehicle.  These components may sometimes be damaged during removal. In most cases, we replace clips, wiper hoses, and fasteners at little or no charge in order to perform the best job possible.

"Our warranty does not cover leaks or damage due to pre-existing conditions, such as damage or rust on the window 
frame, or future damage caused by impact with foreign objects, vandalism, theft, accidents, or reckless conduct."
