Your car doors are locked, the car seat is installed properly, you and your children are seat belted, you’re driving with your hands at the recommended 10 and 2 positions on the steering wheel, and your mirrors are adjusted. You smile at the baby in the back and get rolling. A short while into your 2 drive, a rogue piece of metal nicks your windshield. You check your mirrors for nearby cars and pull over to the right and stop at a safe spot on the highway. You’ve done everything right.
The same attention and care and you take in driving, TeleGlass takes in its customers and services. Keep TeleGlass in your phone contacts along with the rest of your emergency numbers. Call us from the nearest rest or donut shop, wherever you are, and we’ll send one of our skilled technicians to restore the integrity of your auto glass. The nick in your auto glass will be injected with a resin-based bonding agent to stop the windshield from further cracking and damage. You will be back on the road in no time!

The Greater Boston Area has been hit by 2 “100 year floods” in the last month. The latest storm, Saturday, July 10, dumped almost 4 inches of rain in under 90 minutes. In Somerville (near Boston) a driver was trapped in a tunnel just around the corner from her house, this much rain results in the kind of apocalyptic-looking flood that swallows cars, cows, and anything else in its way. We’re just not used to seeing this type of flash flooding this close to Boston.
Driving a car through a “road-river” can be extremely damaging to your car. It’s also very dangerous, and should be avoided at all costs. If you cannot find a safe place to park your car, be mindful of rushing rocks, tree limbs, and other hazardous objects that can crack your auto glass, and potentially impair your visibility.
Existing damage, and the damage your auto glass could sustain from a flash-flood, should be fixed immediately, as weather stops for no one.
If we have another flood this summer, we can hope the city is well equipped to deal with it, but if you’re on the road, heading over a hill into a water pit that was minutes earlier an intersection, street or driveway, best be prepared with a well-tuned car and safe, strong auto glass. If your auto glass damaged and you need an auto glass replacement is the consequence of stormy weather, please contact TeleGlass today.

When it gets cold outside, it’s time to start thinking about your windshield. Windshields are durable for the most part; however, if you already have a hairline crack in the auto glass, it could spread in the cold, turning into a major crack. The last thing you want to deal with is full replacement glass. Finding a quality windshield de-icer can eliminate any potential problems with windshield replacement during the winter months.
A de-icer is a spray that helps melt ice, snow and slush. It will not dissolve every single piece of ice, yet it will make your windshield easier to clean or scrape. A quality de-icer will not smear or smudge automobile glass, nor will the contents freeze or cause lessened visibility. To properly use a de-icer, first turn on your car’s engine. Then keep the defroster fan at a low level while the heat is on high to ensure that the glass does not crack, causing you an auto glass repair. Next spray the de-icer fluid on the windshield. Many car owners actually make their own de-cing formula such as one part water to one part vinegar. Use a scraper in a downward motion and remove snow or ice. The de-icer should make the job much easier.
Believe or not, there are also de-icers for car locks. They are very cheap, around $2 or so, and very small, about the size of a larger cigarette lighter. In fact, keychain de-icers can be bought at the local mall or a dealership. Lock de-icers are becoming fancier now, combing the de-icer, keychain and flashlight all in one for under $10.
If the winter weather does get to your windshield and you find yourself in need of a glass repair, don’t hesitate to contact us at TeleGlass.com . We have the highest quality technicians for your windshield repair. You can set up an appointment at one of our convenient locations or our mobile technicians are more than happy to perform the service in your driveway.

Here at TeleGlass, we are committed to following the voluntary Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) for any glass repair or replacement glass work on your car.
The AGRSS Council is a not-for-profit organization committed to the safe replacement of automobile glass and the only North American safety standards. AGRSS was founded and is supported by companies in the auto glass replacement industry that keep safe installation as their primary goal, just as we do at TeleGlass.com. The AGRSS mission addresses three primary goals to ensure auto glass repair excellence and safety: “developing and maintaining standards for the replacement of auto glass; education and accrediting the industry; and promoting the AGRSS standard to the insurance industry and driving public at large.”
In fact, the AGRSS Council is so dedicated to its mission, it will be hosting its Fifth Annual International Auto Glass Safety Conference in November 2009 and we will be there with our TeleGlass.com member providers. There will be much to learn about safety during the many seminars presented by people who are passionate about auto glass safety. This years keynote speaker will be, Captain Chelsea “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot of the “Miracle on the Hudson.” As the AGRSS Council notes, Sullenberger is a modern-day hero dedicated to safety. The conference will also host the annual Walt Gorman Memorial Windshield Repair Olympics. Last year, Randy Chadwick of Glasspro, a TeleGlass.com member provider out of Charleston, SC, was able to demonstrate a top-notch replacement technique and come away with the first place prize.
We applaud their efforts, and believe that the AGRSS Council and TeleGlass are a perfect match for ensuring safety for repair work of either your windshield or any other auto glass need.
