Salt Lake City, UT Windshield Replacement

 While repairing the glass is both a time and money-saver, sometimes replacing the windshield is necessary. It could be one of several scenarios. First, if you’ve wait too long after the initial crack, dirt and other contamination can get inside, a successful repair may be impossible. Second, if the crack in your windshield is longer than three inches (often, companies will say larger than a dollar bill,) or a chip is larger than 3/8 of an inch, then the glass needs to be replaced. Third, if the crack or chip has fissured at the edge of the windshield, it cannot be salvaged, and must be exchanged. Finally, if the crack or chip is directly in your line of vision, an entire windshield replacement is necessary, as repairs merely stop a crack from spreading, it does not erase the existing crack.  Granite Auto Glass is the place to call for your Windshield Replacement in Salt Lake City, UT!
Windshield cracks* impair your field of vision and may subject you to a traffic ticket. On newer cars, the windshield is actually part of the structural support of the vehicle. Therefore, maintaining your visibility and the integrity of your car’s structure is our highest priority.
Here in the southwest, blowing sand can pit the windshield and cause light to refract at odd angles making it difficult to see at sunrise, sunset and nighttime. At Car Crafters, windshields are replaced to the manufacturer’s safety standards and we use only top quality materials.
*We offer complimentary chip repair (smaller than a quarter) if your vehicle is already receiving other repairs from us. If you would like us to take a look at your windshield chips while your vehicle is being repaired, please let your service advisor know when you drop off your vehicle.

Certified Technicians

Once you’ve determined that your vehicle needs windshield replacement, Granite Auto Glass can find you an auto glass company in your area with the best reputation for customer service and quality repair.
First, technicians certified by the National Glass Association (NGA) will remove the damaged windshield from the pinch-weld, or the liner around the edges of the car that holds the glass. Once the glass has been safely removed, the technicians coat the pinch-weld with a primer before applying the adhesive urethane. This adhesive bonds glass to metal, securing the windshield within the confines of the space.
