Auto Glass Replacement

The laminated safety glass is a critical component when it comes to your safety. So take care of it promptly. Never leave your safety to chance. When we work on your auto glass replacement, we make sure that we use the best possible glass available in the market with the highest safety standards. Wherever possible we use OEM glass (that’s glass from the Original Equipment Manufacturer) such as PPG, Ford Carlite, or Pilkington – or you have the option of choosing glass made from non-OEM manufacturers (aftermarket glass).

Both OEM and aftermarket glass must necessarily comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, but there are two important OEM benefits: An OEM replacement windshield is produced from original equipment-style tooling. This type of windshield will have the appearance of your car’s original windshield and will fit properly in the window frame making noise and leakage problems much less likely. So it stretches your dollar a little longer, which makes sense.

Each manufacturer lays out specifics for the installation process that must be meticulously followed to assure quality and safety. This includes proper preparation of the glass, the body of the vehicle, and most importantly the use of the proper priming materials and adhesives. At Auto Glass Canada we take utmost care to ensure that we use the right primers with the right urethane, and leave it to cure for the right amount of time.

And lastly, we put great emphasis on training our technicians. With a little mechanical aptitude, anyone can learn to install a windshield but to do it perfectly takes a clear understanding of the safety issues involved, as well as many hours of experience while on the job. We make sure our technicians are put through the drill by seasoned veterans in the industry and do not send them out alone on a job unless we are sure they can handle it.
