Your car's windshield is very important for safety and maintaining structural integrity. According to Grand View Research, the world's market for automotive glass exceeds $30 billion. This isn't surprising as it will eventually be a necessary service at one point or another for many people. If you are considering replacing your windshield for any reason, here are four questions that you should ask a prospective windshield glass replacement company.

1. Does the Law Require a New Windshield?

Maryland law requires you to replace your windshield if a chip or crack obstructs your view. Some types of damage, like small chips, could be repaired and the windshield left in place. Other types of damage might require a complete replacement due to the location and type of damage. A technician at a windshield glass replacement company can help you to determine if you can fix the damage or need to replace the windshield.

2. Is Mobile Service Available?

Many glass replacement companies offer mobile services to fix or replace damaged windshields. Instead of bringing your car to their shop, they can come to your home or place of work and replace the windshield in your driveway or a parking lot when the weather allows. Mobile service is affordable and negates the need for you to take time away from other things to fix or replace your windshield.

3. Do You Guarantee Your Work?

It is important to know a windshield glass replacement company stands by its work. A guarantee that the work is done properly and your new windshield is mounted and sealed correctly will help you to know the company is confident in its technicians and the work that they do. If there are any signs of air or water leaks, they should be willing to fix the problem.

4. Are You Bonded and Insured?

You should make sure the windshield replacement service is bonded and insured. It is unlikely that your vehicle would suffer extensive damage if something were to go wrong, but a technician might accidentally dent the hood, roof, or maybe a fender. Auto body damage can be costly to repair, and the windshield glass replacement company should have liability insurance and a bond that would pay to repair any damage that might occur.
