Important Auto Glass Safety Information!

Many people aren’t aware that the windshield is an extremely important part of the safety restraint system of a vehicle. 

Did you know that your windshield:

keeps the roof from crushing in on you in a rollover,

allows the airbags to deploy in the correct position to cushion passengers, and

prevents you and your family from being ejected in a serious collision?

In order to keep you and your family safe, windshields must be installed properly.  And, proper installation requires trained technicians, good environmental conditions, and a complete urethane (sealant) system, which includes cleaners and primers. As best stated by the Independent Glass Association, “The difference between a properly affixed windshield and a poor job can be the difference between life and death.”

Unfortunately, 7 out of every 10 auto glass installations are done incorrectly.
The National Highway Transportation Association, the National Glass Associations, and the media have worked hard to warn consumers about unsafe installations...but it has been an uphill struggle. When you bring your car to Glass Specialty, you can rest assured the glass will be installed properly.

You can count on Glass Specialty for safe windshield installation - we have the knowledge, experience, and specialized certifications others fail to offer.
Our technicians must pass Glass Specialty's Certification Program, one that is even more rigorous than that of the National Glass Association, with both written and hands-on training. In addition, we go the extra mile by requiring our technicians to be certified by the Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standards Council (AGRSS), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the safe replacement of auto glass.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
