Windshield Replacement
in Garner
Elevate your vehicle with expert windshield replacement.
Your windshield is one of the hardest working parts of your vehicle. It protects you from roadway debris, weather, and vehicle emissions, and it also provides structural integrity/reinforcement to your vehicle’s cabin in the event of an accident.
In fact, according to the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards Council (AGRSS),
“”¦in a front end collision the windshield provides up to 45% of the structural integrity of the cabin of the vehicle and in a rollover, up to 60%.” [source]
If you’ve experienced damage to your windshield, contact Glass Solutions today to find out whether you should have your windshield replaced. Even something as small as a nick can cause your windshield to be compromised.
Why Replace Your Windshield?
If you experience significant damage to your vehicle’s windshield, you should never wait to replace it. Doing so may put you, your passengers, and others in danger. Additionally, small nicks from rocks or debris can quickly create an unstable environment for your windshield, leading to the possibility of larger cracks, fissures – or even your windshield shattering without provocation.
The following are two common reasons to replace your windshield if you live in the Garner area:
- A damaged windshield can impair your visibility.
- A damaged windshield compromises the structural integrity of your vehicle – especially in the event of a car accident.
- The windshield is beyond repair

Replace Your Windshield & Stay Safer on the Roads!
If you ever find yourself debating whether or not to consult with an automotive glass professional about replacing your windshield, consider the fact that most modern-day windshields are also part of your vehicle’s safety restraint system (SRS), which also includes your airbags and seat belts. If one of these components becomes damaged, it could lessen the effectiveness of the others.
In other words, your windshield is an integral part of your overall safety! As part of the structural integrity of your vehicle, your windshield prevents your roof from crushing you in the event of a vehicle rollover. Your windshield also allows your airbags to properly deploy, and your windshield can protect you and your passengers from being ejected during a serious vehicle collision.
