SAFETY & AUTO GLASS

Auto glass is one of the most important structural support features of your vehicle. The windshield, windows and other auto glass components of your vehicle help to protect and shield you against injuries. Additionally, proper air bag deployment requires that the windshield and side windows be installed correctly. As a result, it’s essential to maintain these glass components and have them professionally replaced or repaired at the first sign of fatigue or damage. This ensures that these vital safety components of your vehicle function properly when they are needed most.

Drivers can improve safety on the road by ensuring visibility in a number of ways. Keeping the glass components of the vehicle clean with frequent washing is one solid solution to improve visibility. Replacing washer fluid and wiper blades regularly can also improve visibility and reduce the chances of an accident. Finally, managing smaller cracks and chips before they become serious barriers to the driver’s field of vision is essential. At Five Star Glass, we have the skill and knowledge to repair your auto glass quickly and to the highest standards of quality and safety.

Even small imperfections or cracks can impair the driver’s ability to see the road and to react quickly to changing road conditions. It’s essential to repair windshield chips, cracks and other defects quickly before they pose a risk to drivers or passengers. Small problems can sometimes be solved by auto glass repair, an advanced process that injects a polymer blend into the damaged area and essentially patches the glass, eliminating the problem and leaving the windshield looking as good as new. Larger or more extensive problems may necessitate emergency windshield replacement. In either case, Five Star Glass can help.

The Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) is responsible for the creation, ongoing development and management of the only nationally recognized standard for proper auto glass installations. As a member of the AGSC, Five Star Glass and its auto glass technicians have been trained, follow stringent safety standards, are certified in proper installation practices and are audited with an independent 49 point inspection of work.

You may be surprised to learn that the windshield does more than just protect you from weather and insects. Your windshield also acts as a safety shield for vehicle occupants in the event of a collision or rollover accident and works with the seats, seatbelts and airbags to protect you in a crash. When installed properly, the windshield supports the roof of the vehicle in a rollover and allows the airbags to fully deploy. The windshield also aids in occupant retention, keeping passengers in the car in case of an accident. Auto glass is a critical safety component of your vehicle's occupant crash protection system and great care must be taken to make sure it is replaced correctly.

Five Star Glass has made a commitment to following the standards set by the AGSC. Your safety is our number one priority.
