Best Windshield Repair & Replacement in Rochester, MN

Who doesn't love the crisp air and the colors of Fall? As the weather begins to get cooler it's a good time to do a bit of maintenance around your home and vehicles to prepare for winter. Most people take time to check the tread on our tires, test your battery, and ensure all your fluids are ready for the cold temperatures. But when was the last time you checked the condition of your windshield? Here are just a few Maintenace tips: Check the glass, inside and out, for chips and cracks. Minor “star” or “bullseye” rock chips, and small cracks, may be repairable. Also look for tiny micro-pits that build up on the windshield over time as airborne particles hit the glass at high speeds. These pits reduce vision when illuminated by oncoming headlights, or a rising/setting sun. Inspect the edges of the glass for damage to surrounding bodywork. Any problems that affect the seal of the glass to the body can weaken structural integrity and need repair. Make sure the rubber windshield wiper blades are soft, pliable and clear water from the glass in a single swipe. Brittle blades can break and allow a metal wiper arm to scratch the glass. Make sure your wiper fluid reservoir is full of de-icing washer fluid. Meanwhile enjoy a beautiful Minnesota Fall!
