What to Expect From Akron Auto Glass Repair
Every Akron auto glass repair and replacement from Defender is backed by our warranty. Replacement glass meets or exceeds the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, so it fits like the original and passes lease turn-back standards. Our Akron shop on George Washington Blvd is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and our mobile technicians can come to your home or work across Akron, Canton and the surrounding communities.
Windshield Chips and Cracks
A chip smaller than a quarter or a short crack can usually be repaired instead of replaced, as long as it is not in the driver’s direct line of sight or at the edge of the glass. Repair costs less than replacement and stops the damage from spreading, which matters in Northeast Ohio’s freeze-thaw winters.
Side Window Replacement
Side windows are tempered glass, so a broken one has to be replaced. Tape and plastic will not keep out weather or thieves. Most side window replacements take less than an hour. Our technicians:
- Inspect the window and door to see how far the damage goes
- Remove the door panel and clear out all broken glass
- Install the new glass
- Test the window regulator for mechanical damage
- Reinstall the door panel and clean the glass
- Vacuum the vehicle to remove any remaining glass
Rear Windshield Replacement
Front windshields are laminated glass and can often be repaired. Rear windshields are tempered glass that shatters into small pieces, so damage to the back glass almost always means a full replacement.
