When it comes to as integral a part of your car as the windshield, you need to make sure that you choose the right company for repair and replacement. A lot of factors like reputation, convenience, insurance, etc. can play an important role in your choice of a Windshield Company. Knowing the right questions to ask about a company is necessary before you step out into the market. Ask these following questions before you choose a windshield company. When do I Need a Windshield Repair or Replacement? Whenever something like a rock, a piece of gravel, or any other solid object hits the windshield in car, it can cause it to either chip or break. This reduces the driver's visibility and makes it dangerous to use wiper blades since they can increase the extent of the damage. This is when you need to get your windshield in car checked. If only the surface layer of the windshield suffers a small chip and the damage does not extend to any considerable degree, then repairing the chip may be possible. However, if two layers of the glass are broken, the windshield will need to be replaced. Why is it Important to Install a Quality Windshield? The windshield in car is the first line of protection for the driver against any kind of road debris that may enter the car and injure them or any shrapnel that can cause scratches if involved in an accident. It is made from tempered glass instead of ordinary laminated glass. This tempered glass is formed by melting ordinary glass and then solidified again under immense heat and pressure, which makes tempered glass 10 times stronger than normal glass. Ultimately, the windshield in car consists of three layers, of which the middle layer is made of protective vinyl. If any debris or shrapnel breaks through even the first two layers of the windshield, the driver is still protected by the last layer of glass. However, to be effective in protecting the driver and the passengers, the windshield in car needs to be manufactured using high-quality materials and must be installed properly. The only way to guarantee this is to seek out a reputable and reliable company for replacing and repairing the windshield. What is the Company's Reputation Like? A company's market reputation is often the biggest proof of its reliability. Reading reviews online and searching for the company in the News section on Google are some easy ways to gather information about a company's reputation. Another factor that can play into determining reputation is to look at the number of locations and centres a company has all over India. If a company has flourished all over the country, it usually means people thought well of it to allow it to flourish. After all, no business can run without customers. For example, AIS Windshield Experts has 90+ centres across 50+ cities in India, making it a widely-known brand. Will my Insurance be accepted by the Company? If you do not want to pay exorbitant amounts when getting your car serviced; the question of your insurance being accepted is a vital one to consider. Chances are that many companies have tie-ups with only a few insurance providers and hence will not be able to provide you with good service at an affordable price-point. If a company has tie-ups with most major insurance companies, however, as AIS Windshield Experts does, you will likely not have any problems getting your car glass repaired or replaced within your budget. Is it Convenient for me to go to this Company? If the windshield in car is damaged, often convenience is your prime focus. You would not want to leave your car at some far away service-centre for over a week just to have a small repair done as this could lead to major issues with conveyance (going to work, dropping off kids at school, etc.).
  • A company that offers door-to-door repairs is then the most convenient option. Door-to-door repairs becomes a possibility when the company has a vast presence all over India and has a huge number of service centres. AIS Windshield Experts, for instance, has over 80 conveniently-located service centres and mobile vans in 50+ cities so our door-to-door service is both fast and convenient. Moreover, even if your car has to be brought into the service centre, it does not have to be left there for an indefinite number of days - you will be in and out of the centre within 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the extent of the damage.

Which Kind of Products does this Company Use? To ensure the safety of both drivers and passengers, a windshield in car must be made from high-quality glass. This means that the dealer from whom the glass is sourced must be reputable and known for supplying high-quality glass. Usually, this can be determined by going to a company's "about" page on their website or googling the dealer's name. The adhesive used to secure the windshield to the frame of the car needs to be highly reliable as well, as any mishap in this area can cause the windshield to crack upon the slightest impact. AIS Glass – the parent company from whom we procure our glass – is the preferred choice of most Indian Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). In fact, around 70% of the market share with OEMs belongs to AIS Glass. Moreover, we use urethane adhesives that are 90 times stronger than silicone sealants used locally for windshield in car. Are the Technicians Well-Trained in Fixing and Installing Windshields? If the windshield in car is not properly installed, it can puff out and create a dangerous situation for both you and anyone else riding in the car with you. This means that all processes used in windshield replacement need to ensure that it is properly installed and is not unstable. Moreover, care must also be taken while handling the adhesive used, especially during summers when the curing time is faster. Hence, the process of windshield replacement calls for highly trained professionals who are qualified to carry out the process in the safest possible manner. The experts at AIS Windshield Experts are well-trained in auto glass repair and replacement and are privy to cutting-edge equipment and tools, quality and safety training, hands-on fitting experience, even training manuals and videos. As a result, you can rest assured that we will implement the safest techniques in carrying out your auto glass repair and replacement. What Car Models does the Company Service? Ultimately, even if the company meets safety standards and accepts your insurance claims, it is of no use if it does not service the model of your car. Many companies are limited by the availability of particular types of glass required to make windshields for them. Hence, make sure that the company you choose for your windshield in car caters to your car model. At AIS Windshield Experts, we cater to all car models including luxury car models such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and the likes. So, no matter the model of your car, you can avail of the services of AIS Windshield Experts. What Type of Warranty does the Company Offer? If a company does not offer a long and comprehensive warranty, you remain at risk of shelling out a considerable amount of money again even if the windshield glass consists of some manufacturing defect. AIS Windshield Experts is the only windshield company in India that offers a one year written warranty on workmanship and materials used, potentially saving you a significant amount of money in the future. What Other Services Does the Company Provide? Since you need to get your windshield in car replaced, you may as well have some other car maintenance performed too. AIS Windshield Experts offers value-added services like battery replacement, wiper replacement and car cleaning service. This saves you the hassle of finding a different company for every aspect of car maintenance. The fundamental questions to keep in mind, then, are those of quality, convenience, and finance. If these basics are not covered adequately, your windshield replacement will either be faulty or will cost you an arm and a leg. Fortunately, with AIS Windshield Experts, you do not need to worry about any of these - with over 80 centres in more than 50+ cities and affordable door-to-door service; we are your best bet for a reliable windshield repair or replacement.
