Eventually it happens to all of us — a broken windshield on your car, truck, or SUV. When you need repair or replacement of your windshield, call the local mobile pros, Dune Side Auto Glass. Serving Mason, Lake, Manistee and Oceana counties, the technicians at Dune Side will work quickly to replace your windshield or repair a chip so you can be on your way in no time. They are a local and independent company whose owners and employees live in the area, so it’s like doing business with your neighbors.
Besides car windshields, Dune Side Auto Glass can repair door windows, truck sliders, and flat glass for semi trucks, dune buggies, and heavy equipment. Even if you have a broken side view mirror, Dune Side can take care of that, also. And it’s so convenient to deal with them, as they are the local mobile pros–Dune Side Auto Glass will come to you! Estimates are free and they directly bill your insurance. Their customer service is what makes them such a successful company.
Your windshield is one of the most important components on your vehicle. It not only protects you from the elements, but provides 80% of the structural integrity of the vehicle in the event of a rollover. If the vehicle’s airbags deploy, the windshield keeps them in place. Dune Side Auto Glass takes great care in the replacement of your windshield. They use a combination of power and hand tools to cut through the moldings and glue of your existing windshield. They will then clean the surface, prime the metal and grind away any rust.
Fresh urethane is applied and they set the new windshield in place. Once this is done, the glass is washed; cowl and wipers are replaced. Labor usually takes about an hour, plus another half hour for the urethane to set. Winter months may take longer depending on the temperature. Certain vehicles, such as foreign made or classic cars may take longer and Dune Side Auto Glass will discuss a time frame with you. For flat or laminated glass, found in semis, dune buggies and heavy equipment, Dune Side can custom cut and polish the glass, then install it. All they need is the pattern of the broken window.
Dune Side Auto Glass provides the skill set and equipment needed to work on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). These are the newest technologies in the automobile industry and provide such things as automatic headlights, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. Sensors that are used to control ADAS are often mounted behind or right onto the windshield of a vehicle.
Small chips in your windshield may not seem like a major problem, but that chip can eventually turn into a huge crack. If your chip is the size of a quarter or smaller, and not in the driver’s vision area, Dune Side can repair it by removing the air from the area, injecting a resin and curing it with a UV light. It won’t make the chip disappear, but will keep it from cracking. This process takes about 20-30 minutes–so if you notice a small chip in your windshield, it’s best to have Dune Side take care of it before it becomes a problem.
Dune Side Auto Glass stands behind their work, which is warrantied for workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle. Because of certain installation standards required by insurance companies, you can be assured that Dune Side does the job right the first time. Their glass installation is in accordance with the Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standard (AGRSS), which is the world standard for proper auto glass installation.
