Every once in a while, you’ll see someone driving around with broken Auto Glass in Wyoming, with big cracks running right through their windshield. Perhaps these drivers are not getting their glass fixed because they’re worried about having to pay a high deductible with their insurance company. That’s one of the myths about getting auto glass fixed. The truth is that most auto insurance companies will cover auto glass repair at 100 percent, and the customer won’t have to pay anything, including the deductible.
Drivers with broken glass may worry too that their insurance company will raise their rates if they file a claim to have their windshield or other auto glass repaired or replaced. However, many insurance companies will not count that as a claim against your record, so that having the glass fixed will not raise your insurance rates.
You will likely need to carry both collision and liability, and not just liability coverage, to be eligible for glass repair under your insurance policy. Drivers with any questions about what their policy does and does not cover, and with questions about their portion of the costs, should ask their insurance company to be certain.
Another misconception about Auto Glass in Wyoming is that you will have to take your car in to a body shop and wait for hours or even overnight for your car to be fixed, and you’ll have to be without a car during that time. The truth there is that the auto glass company like Safety Auto Glass can come to you, whether that means in your own driveway or the parking lot at your workplace. Their mobile repair service can come to where you are and replace your windshield right on site. They’ll be done in less than an hour, and you can drive the car right away.
If your windshield is not thoroughly sealed, you may notice a musty odor in the car. That can happen if you bought the car used and it was repaired at another time, but not repaired properly. A new windshield can prevent the growth of mold inside the car, as well as prevent an extra buildup of frost inside the windshield in the winter, which doesn’t let you see the roadway in front of you.
