How Long Does a Auto Glass Service Take?

You might be driving on a highway mid of night, and suddenly a tiny rock hit your vehicle or say you get involved in a mild accident. You start thinking, how much time will the fixation of your auto glass take? Well, we are here to address the same question. The timing of auto glass repair or replacement can vary, given the type of damage your auto glass has gone through. This is where the experience of our expert auto glass technicians comes in. Our skilled auto glass technicians assess your damaged auto glass condition and give you an estimate of what it will cost and how much time the damage will take to get repaired. Certain factors play a role in determining the time required for the fixation of your auto glass.

The elements are as follows:

1. The type of vehicle
2. Environmental factor
3. The extent of damage

The type of vehicle

Some years back, every car glass was the same irrespective of the model and make of the vehicle. That made all the car glass repairs similar and the time required to repair or replace them identical. However, that's not the case with the auto glass of the newer vehicles. Modern vehicles have specific sensors attached to the auto glass that vary the time for auto glass installation. This means that auto glass installation can be more complex and time-consuming, requiring specialized knowledge and equipment.

Environmental factor

Another factor that plays a significant role in the time required to repair the auto glass is the environment. The temperature and humidity in the surroundings determine how much time the auto glass repair will take to repair. The urethane adhesive is used to repair the damaged windscreen and depends upon it to settle.

The extent of damage

The last factor, and presumably the most critical factor in determining the fixation timing, is the extent of the damage. If it is just a tiny crack on your windscreen, a repair will take 10-15 minutes. Whereas if it's a vast crack expanding to the edges. The whole windscreen would have to be replaced, taking 40 minutes to one hour.

Conclusion

All these factors, along with some other factors, play a role in the time of fixation of the windshield, but there is no hard and fast rule to determine the exact time.
