Windshield Repair
Modern Windshields are made of laminated glass. Small rocks and stones can cause chips, stars, and bullseyes, on your windshield that can quickly lead to long cracks. These can be repaired with special equipment that evacuates the air from the break and injects a clear resin sealing the damage and stopping it from cracking further. Once your windshield is cracked you have no choice but to replace the glass. It is illegal to have a cracked windshield in the state of Florida. Also having a cracked windshield becomes a safety hazard because up to 60% of the strength of your roof is supported by the windshield. The best windshield you will ever have is the original windshield installed by the factory. Many technicians install aftermarket glass improperly. Many lease companies will not accept a lease turn in with non OEM aftermarket glass. Since repair is around $50 and a replacement average is almost around $300 most technicians opt to replace rather than repair them. Many times your comprehensive insurance will wave the deductable if you opt for repair than replacement. See our pictures for what type of damages are repairable rather than replaceable.

Many times cars are damaged by overspray and the owners are unaware of it until the car is washed or detailed. Overspray is usually caused by careless paint contractors. Depending on the kind of paint they were using and the severity of the overspray can determine the cost of repairing this damage. Latex and water based paints are usually easy to remove but the opoxys and enamels can be very difficult to remove. We have several techniques to remove overspray depending on the situation, but the most effective that we have found is a rubberized overspray block. These blocks float across the paint with a special lubricant and it picks up the overspray without the use of harsh chemicals; which can dry out your paint. We only use chemicals as a last resort because it can dry out the surfaces of your car including rubber, plastic, and paint. If your car is damaged by a paint contractor you should make the contractor aware of this as soon as possible and he can then make an insurance claim. Also your car may be covered under your comprehensive insurance if you are not aware of when your car was damaged. Many times the cost of removal is less than your de-ductable and no need to turn in a claim. Bumper Techs has much experience in OverSpray Removal and has worked with many company’s who has had overspray damage. We have removed overspray from Cars, Trucks, Boats, RV’s and Aircraft.
