Understanding the Windshield Repair Process in Costa Mesa

At Costa Mesa Mobile Auto Glass, we believe in educating our customers about the services we provide. Understanding the windshield repair process can help you appreciate the importance of professional repair and know what to expect when you bring your vehicle to us. Let's walk through the typical steps of windshield repair in Costa Mesa.

  1. Initial Assessment:
    • Our technician examines the damage to determine if repair is possible or if replacement is necessary.
    • We consider factors like size, depth, and location of the damage.
  2. Cleaning the Area:
    • The damaged area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt or debris.
    • This ensures a strong bond between the repair resin and the glass.
  3. Creating Access:
    • If necessary, we create a pathway to the damage using specialized tools.
    • This allows us to effectively inject the repair resin.
  4. Injecting the Resin:
    • We use a specialized tool to inject a high-quality, clear resin into the damaged area.
    • The resin is designed to match the strength and light refraction of your windshield glass.
  5. Removing Air Bubbles:
    • Air bubbles can weaken the repair, so we use pressure and vacuum techniques to ensure the resin fully penetrates the damage.
  6. Curing the Resin:
    • We use UV light to cure and harden the resin.
    • This process typically takes just a few minutes.
  7. Smoothing and Polishing:
    • Any excess resin is carefully removed.
    • The repaired area is smoothed and polished to blend with the rest of the windshield.
  8. Final Inspection:
    • We thoroughly inspect the repair to ensure it meets our high-quality standards.
    • We check for clarity and ensure the structural integrity of the windshield has been restored.
  9. Clean-Up:
    • We clean your windshield and the surrounding area, leaving your vehicle in pristine condition.
  10. Customer Education:
    • We explain the repair to you and provide care instructions.
    • We answer any questions you might have about the repair or your windshield in general.

The entire process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour for standard repairs. At Costa Mesa Mobile Auto Glass, we pride ourselves on efficiency without compromising quality.

It's important to note that while the repair will restore the structural integrity of your windshield, there may still be a slight visual indication of where the damage occurred. However, this is usually minimal and far less noticeable than the original damage.

For your convenience, we offer this service at our Costa Mesa location or as a mobile service. Our mobile option allows us to perform the repair at your home or office, saving you time and ensuring you don't have to drive with a damaged windshield.

Remember, prompt repair of windshield damage is crucial. Small chips or cracks can spread quickly, especially in Costa Mesa's varying temperatures. What starts as a simple repair can become a full replacement if left unaddressed.

If you notice any damage to your windshield, don't wait. Contact Costa Mesa Mobile Auto Glass today at (949) 432-4699 or visit us at 2450 Newport Blvd. #244, Costa Mesa, California, 92627. Our expert technicians are ready to restore your windshield and ensure your safety on the road.
