Fact or Fiction: Top Auto Glass Myths
Auto glass is one of the most important features of your vehicle. Windshields and windows keep drivers and passengers from getting bombarded with insects, the elements, and road debris that may hit the glass. If your auto glass is damaged, it is important that you repair it as soon as possible to maintain the safety of your vehicle. It is also important that these repairs are completed by a professional glass company. There is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to auto glass repair, but Apollo Glass is busting some of the most common myths out there.
Myth: Auto Glass Repair Will Raise Insurance Premiums
Insurance companies understand that fixing glass damage can prevent more serious accidents – and lower the chances of a larger claim. In Minnesota, any auto insurance policy providing comprehensive coverage “must provide the option of complete coverage for repair or replacement of all damaged safety glass without regard to any deductible or minimum amount.”

Myth: Auto Glass Repair Takes All Day

Myth: Small Chips or Cracks Aren’t a Big Deal
When your windshield is damaged, the last thing you want to do is wait! Even the smallest crack or chip will expand over time. It is best to fix any damage, no matter how small, to avoid having to replace your entire windshield down the line. If you aren’t worried about the little crack in your windshield just yet, you may find yourself getting pulled over – it is illegal to drive with a cracked windshield in Minnesota!
Myth: Only Large Rocks Cause Damage
It’s not the size of the debris that causes damage – even small pebbles can chip or crack a windshield. It is actually the speed of the debris striking the glass that causes damage, not the size.
Myth: Smart Auto Glass Has To Be Replaced By The Manufacturer
Today’s auto technology has features like automatic emergency braking and collision detection. Because of this ADAS technology, many people assume that auto glass has to be replaced by the dealership or manufacturer. Apollo Glass technicians are highly skilled at replacing and recalibrating your ADAS system in a single appointment!
Myth: All Auto Glass Companies Are Equal
You may find a great deal from a fly-by-night company roaming your neighborhood following a storm or leaving a note on your windshield at the grocery store, but these companies often disappear after the service is done and don’t back up their work. The certified installers at Apollo Glass fixing your car’s glass are highly trained professionals who stand by our work with a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee!
