At McConnell Auto Glass, we have extensive experience with windshield repair, and we know exactly how to get the job done right. Over the years, we have worked with countless customers, and many of the people who come to us for auto glass repair have some serious misconceptions about the process. In this article, we’ll do our best to correct some of the most prevalent misinformation by debunking three myths about windshield repair.

  • Myth #1: Windshield Repair is Inconvenient-One myth about windshield repair that we encounter a lot, and one reason why people wait so long to get it done, is the idea that this repair service will be a serious inconvenience. While getting your windshield repaired will take some time out of your daily routine, it also won’t force you to waste hours of your valuable time–in fact, many auto glass repair teams, including us, offer mobile repair services to save you as much time and trouble as possible.
  • Myth #2: Windshield Repair Will Drive Up Your Insurance Costs-Another common myth we hear is that getting your windshield repaired will cause your insurance prices to skyrocket. Our team has a great deal of experience working with insurance claims, and is even a preferred vendor for insurance companies, and we can assure you that this is by no means a given.
  • Myth #3: Auto Glass Companies Will Take Advantage of You-Lastly, many people hesitate to come in for windshield repairs out of fear that the repair company will take advantage of their need to overcharge them. While there are some people who would mistreat their clients, our team is committed to providing top-notch service for a fair price.
