										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Which Should I Choose? Auto Glass Repair or Replacement</strong></p>
<p><strong>Understanding Your Options</strong></p>
<p>In the past, a cracked or chipped windshield almost always meant a full replacement. Today, however, auto glass repair technology has advanced significantly. Depending on the size, location, and severity of the damage, many windshields are repairable. To make the right choice, it’s essential to consult a professional.</p>
<p><strong>Auto Glass Replacement</strong></p>
<p>When we replace a windshield, we carefully remove the old glass from the frame to avoid scraping and rust formation. Unlike some mobile glass repair companies, we take extra steps to prevent rust. We also thoroughly test the new glass for strength and safety before installation. Despite advancements in repair technology, a new windshield generally offers better structural integrity than a repaired one. After installation, we allow the bonding agent to cure for a few hours before you can pick up your vehicle. Due to the complexity and thoroughness of this process, replacement is usually more expensive than repair.</p>
<p><strong>Auto Glass Repair</strong></p>
<p>Auto glass repair provides a cost-effective and quicker solution compared to replacement, depending on the damage extent. A quality repair halts the spread of damage and conceals the initial crack or chip. In some cases, your insurance may waive the deductible, covering the entire repair cost. However, timely action is crucial. If the damage grows larger than a dollar bill, or if it’s too close to the windshield’s edge or driver’s field of vision, replacement becomes necessary. A repair in these areas might cause distortions that compromise visibility.</p>
<p><strong>Final Decision</strong></p>
<p>If repair isn’t feasible, bring your vehicle to Car Struction for a high-quality windshield replacement. Our expert team ensures a seamless installation for your safety and satisfaction.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Storm Damage Repair Services</h1>
<p>Mother Nature can sometimes be unpredictable and unforgiving. You just bought a new car. You’re so proud of it. You took pictures of it in your driveway, and posted them all over Facebook. If you’re like me, you’ll even take extra trips to the store as an excuse to show it off, and just to drive it and enjoy that new car smell before it fades. </p>
<p>Then, a major storm rolls in. If you see a severe weather report, there’s a good chance that it could include some hail. If possible, park your vehicle in a garage or under your carport. If these aren’t available to you, there are other options. Find some covered parking at a mall, office building or even a covered gas station and ride out the storm. Before you leave your precious car, take a look at the surrounding area. Be sure to not park under or close to any trees or branches that can fall on your vehicle. If you can’t find any covered parking, place blankets over your vehicle and hope for the best. Be sure to duct tape them down though, so they don’t fly away in heavy winds. </p>
<p>Unfortunately for you, you don’t have a garage to park it in. You leave it in the driveway maybe covered in taped down blankets and hope for the best. You hunker down, and wait for the storm to pass. Suddenly, you hear a loud boom of thunder, then a crack and a crash. You pray that the car alarm you hear reverberating from outside is not your own… you peer out the window, and it is. Your beautiful brand new car just took a tree branch right to the grill. We feel your pain. Before you weep for the loss of your car, know that there is such a thing as storm damage repair—and an “act of God” clause in your auto insurance.</p>
