Glass King

A cracked windshield in Kennesaw is not something to leave long before getting fixed. The windshield is a structural part of the car. Windshields are designed as a front and back laminate with a protective layer between the layers to reduce the chance of objects coming directly through and/or shattering the entire pane.  When you have a cracked windshield, the integrity of the protective barrier is normally breached.  If you get into an accident with a cracked windshield, the windshield could give way, causing the roof to collapse and crush occupants in a rollover. 

Cracks in the windshield in the line of vision are also a safety hazard, as you may not clearly see the road in front of you.  Between the crush potential and decreased vision, this is why police can issue you a citation for a damaged auto glass that could result in a fine more than the cost of repairing or replacing the glass.  This is another good reason not to wait.

Glass King offers mobile windshield replacement and rock chip repairs for the metro Atlanta area, with discounts offered for residents of Cobb (Kennesaw, Smyrna, Mableton, Marietta, Powder Springs, Acworth, Austell), Roswell, Woodstock, Cartersville, Paulding (Hiram, Dallas), Douglas (Douglasville, Lithia Springs) and Bartow.

If your Marietta windshield has gotten some rock chips from summer travel, you'll want to call Glass King, Acworth based mobile auto glass repair service, right away.  Rock chips will sometimes have splinters or concentric circles like a bull's eye and can often start larger cracks in your auto glass.  By getting a rock chip repaired, you may not be able to get all of your clarity back, but you will be able to rebond the glass so the crack does not spread.

In extreme hot or cold, rock chips tend to start to spread through the glass.  When a crack exceeds the length of a dollar bill, the windshield will require replacement, which normally costs 3-5 times the price of the rock chip repair.  This is why timely rock chip repair is more important in the summer and winter.  There is no real way to tell if or when a rock chip will start to spread.  As soon as it starts, you'll really want to take action unless you want to pay more.

Glass King offers convenient mobile rock chip repair for metro Atlanta, but primarily Acworth, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Smyrna, Vinings, Sandy Springs, Hiram, Douglasville, Powder Springs, Austell, Cartersville and Dallas. 

We also offer you a chance to save some money if you can come into our shop at 1450 Cobb Parkway NW (30060) on a Saturday morning.  It's only $25 when you come into the shop.  We also offer window molding replacement and re-attach rear view mirrors, with pricing starting around $15 for these services, depending on what needs to be done.

Ask about our rock chip tent for your next car show, school or church fund raising event.  We also replace and repair all of your auto glass and power windows, with same day service available in many cases.  Call 770-827-7702 today to book your appointment and for a FREE estimate.

Glass King, one of the top Marietta auto glass repair shops, located located just 1-2 minutes south of Barrett Parkway at 1450 Cobb Parkway NW, 30060, offers great discounts for minor repairs while we are in the shop on Saturday and other days (by appointment).

Most Marietta leaking windshields happen when the urethane molding around the window starts to break down or gets cut or gouged by road debris or tree branches.  Leaky windshields can result in damage to sensitive electronics like your radio or GPS and can cause water stains in your headliner.  It may also allow for mold to grow in your car, which can be very bad for your health. 

By replacing the damaged molding, you can stop the leaks and protect your car.  We use quick curing (drying) urethane on all of our Marietta windshield repairs, so you should be able to drive away in around an hour.  It's usually not a good idea to have this work done when rain is in the forecast.

In addition to leaky windshield molding repairs, we also offer quick auto mirror repairs, we can reattach rear view mirrors in very little time.  This is one repair that is so inexpensive that you do not want to delay on taking care of it. 

Another Saturday service is windshield rock chip repairs.  This process normally takes about 30-45 minutes and can help prevent you from having to replace your Marietta windshield.

Call 770-827-7702 today for a free estimate or stop by the shop.  If you're concerned about how long it will take, just call ahead.  We are also available for Marietta cracked windshield repair and replacement at our location or yours.  We are conveniently located just a few miles from Kennesaw, Powder Springs, Canton, Woodstock, East Marietta, Smyrna and Vinings.

Glass King, the Atlanta automobile glass repair and replacement company offers your organization a chance to help improve the safety of local vehicles while assisting your group with raising money.  Glass King has a rock chip repair program that can easily be set up at an Atlanta business, church, car show or festival, off to the side, where the repairs can be made with partial proceeds going to the sponsoring organization.

Rock chips left unattended can sometimes develop into larger cracks, which compromise the structural integrity of the windshield.  If you read another posting we did on the requirement to have the windshield for structural consideration of the roof, then you will not want to compromise this integrity, or it could literally get your crushed.  Also, depending on where they are in the windshield, they may also interfere with your line of vision, disabling you from reacting as quickly as you should to external situations, making this a doubly dangerous situation.

Cracked windshields should be repaired as quickly as possible, as you can get pulled over by the police to receive a citation.  Imagine the embarrasment of being pulled over not far from your home because you didn't take care of the crack sooner.  Tickets can also be given when you are parked on the side of the road if an officer passes by and decides to stop.  The size of these citations is often as much as it is to replace the windshield.  Additionally, your insurance company normally will cover a cracked windshield, so you really don't have any reason not to get it done as quickly as possible.

As for the fundraising program, groups can normally make $10-15/car, where the average car takes about 25-40 minutes to repair the minor damage.   If you would like to get more information on this or our other referral / fund raising programs, please call the Acworth office at  770-827-7702 and tell Ken you saw this posting on Merchant Circle. 

We service all of metro Atlanta, including Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Cumming, Buckhead, Smyrna, Vinings, Woodstock, Towne Lake, Acworth, Cartersville, Hiram, Dallas, Powder Springs, Lithia Springs and Douglasville.  In many cases, 24 hour turn around time is provided.  We appreciate the chance to protect you, your family and your vehicle.

For future use, put this number in your cell phone so you don't have to search for it when you need it.  If you know anyone from work or church that is looking for a fund raiser, please consider forwarding them this page.

Glass King, an Acworth based mobile auto glass (windshield, back glass and side windows) company serving the Douglasville market, along with most of metro Atlanta, always encourages people to know what they are buying when they hire an auto glass replacement company.  Price is usually the least important criteria, as any mistakes could cost you much more in damage and repairs.

Here we will discuss two important questions to ask before you hire someone to install glass for your car.  The first one is: Are you insured?  The reason this is important is because you will want to make sure this is not a fly-by-night operation.  If they don't have insurance, it's very easy for them to do a poor job on installing your glass, resulting in water damage to your car that they don't have the money to cover to get fixed.  Carrying insurance is also a sign that this isn't one that isn't concerned about being around for a long time.  Why would they make the investment otherwise?

The second question to ask is: When is the last time you passed the manufacturers' installation tests?  There are many people that work for the larger companies that do very marginally on these tests offered to help companies make sure their staff in proficient in the latest techniques for different manufacturers.  Unfortunately, as the tests have gotten harder in the recent past, there are a number of people that worked for the larger dealers that failed and are going out to start up their own business because they were fired.  Are these the people you want working on your car?

For the other questions you should ask, please call the office at 770-827-7702.  We also offer power window and rock chip repair in Douglasville, Atlanta, Lithia Springs, Hiram, Dallas, Acworth, Cartersville, Rome, Woodstock, Cumming, Canton, Marietta, Kennesaw, Powder Springs, Austell, Sandy Plains, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta and most of Atlanta proper.

Our pricing is a great value.  We don't have as much overhead as many of the retail shops, but we won't put in low quality glass.  If you want your auto glass replaced or repaired at a fair price from an individual with over 20 years in the industry that can pass the manufacturer tests, then put this number in your phone today, so you have it when you need it.  770-827-7702.

Unfortunately, our Atlanta area business will increase in the month of December.  This annual spike is cause by an increase in the number of cars that get broken into during the Christmas / Chanukah shopping season at Town Center mall in Kennesaw, Lennox Square in Buckhead, Cumberland Mall in Smyrna, the Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody and numerous other shopping centers in Atlanta.  Here are a few safety tips to reduce the chances that you'll have to call us to help you replace a broken window in your car, or at least help you minimize additional loses.

Remove any valuables from your car today!

While this is common sense, it is easy to forget what we keep in the car, especially if you went traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Make sure there is nothing in the glove compartment that a thief might want to steal.

Clean Out Your Trunk.

If you're going to be doing a lot of shopping, make sure you can put those bags out of sight in your trunk.  Don't get stuck with a bunch of extra items taking up that space so that you either have to move a bunch of things around to make room (and potentially expose yourself to a person approaching you while you're putting things away) or get stuck putting things in clear view.

Keep Things Out of Plain Sight

Don't leave bags or boxes in plain view if at all possible.  Try to head straight home when you make expensive or large purchases that don't fit in the trunk.

Get an Alarm Sticker (Even if You Don't Have an Alarm).

This can act as a great deterrent to a potential thief.  Make sure you are activating your alarm when you get out of the car (which most are automatic these days anyway).

Stay Alert and Act Quickly.

It's probably best if you don't take a lot of time to stop and put things into your trunk.  As mentioned earlier, make sure it's empty before you leave so you can quickly stowe items and get in your vehicle.  Make sure you are looking around you in all directions before you open the trunk and stand at a 45-degree angle to the car so you have a better line of sight should someone be approaching you.

Watch for People Following You.

Another common tactic is to watch people leave a high priced store and follow them to their next stop before attempting to rob the vehicle.  If you are coming out of a higher end store, make sure no one is following you.  Also, if possible, make this store the last on your list so you can get home.

Clean Out Your Garage and Store Your Vehicle There.

The holidays are notorious for extra robberies in general.  People will break into your car, even if there aren't any immediate reasons to do so.    Putting the car in the garage reduces the chance of break in considerably.

If you should need our services, the sooner we can get to you, the better.  Put us under glass in your cell phone book:  770-827-7702.  We hope we don't have to hear from you and wish you a safe and happy holiday season here in Atlanta, or where ever your travels may take you.  Please pass this on to your friends so they have a better chance of not becoming a statistic too.

Looking to have some Powder Springs back windshield repair work done?  Don't be surprised when it costs 2-3 times what your Powder Springs front windshield replacement costs.  Even though the size of the front and back windscreens are roughly the same, the front windscreen is a typical replacement item, while the back is not.

It is a simple matter of economics.  Manufacturers expect the front car windshield to require repairs from rock chips and other road debris that crack windshields.  Several more front truck and car windshields are manufactured every year.  With more being made, they get the production volume discounts. 

Back glass, and even car windows for that matter, are not made in anywhere near the same quantities.  Back glass and windows are normally damaged during a car accident or by vandalism.  The lower quantities available mean higher prices and sometimes longer lead times from the wholesaler. 

Glass King offers mobile back glass repair / replacement for most of Atlanta, but especially the western and northern suburbs.  We service just about every make and model, including Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Acura, Lexus, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Kia, Jeep, Pontiac, Hummer and more.

Call us today to schedule your on site auto glass replacement.  Call 770-827-7702 today for full details.  Keep our number in your cell phone under GLASS so you have it when you need it.  We will work to process your insurance claim and also take credit cards and cash.

Ask about our fund raising programs for churches and non-profit organizations and referral programs for auto detail, towing and auto repair shops.

Windshield replacement and repair services always increase as the weather gets colder.  While Atlanta, GA is not subject to the same intense temperature changes as places farther north, cold days are tougher on the glass.  During the fall and winter months, we tend to see an increase in the number of rock chip repairs and windshield replacements from people that say their problem area increased in size quickly when the weather changed. 

This does make sense when you think about the physical properties of glass.  Many of us have had a situation with a glass in the past where maybe we poured hot coffee or tea into a glass that had ice sitting in it for a couple minutes that ended up cracking the glass.  This phenomenon is referred to as thermal shock.  The rapid expansion when cold glass is met with either a hot liquid (as some people will actually pour hot water on their windshield to defrost it) or even the more gradual heating from the car defrost puts added strain on any existing cracks that might already be in the glass.

Another concern in moisture intrusion into rock chips and hairline cracks.  As you may recall from science class, water expands when it freezes.  Even a small amount of moisture in that penetrates the crack will cause it to expand during the cold season, necessitating a windshield replacement instead of a simple windshield repair.

Our service is mobile, and we cover most of the north and west Atlanta market, including areas inside the perimeter like Buckhead, Five Points and Virginia Highlands.  Most of our clients are in Acworth, Kennesaw, Powder Springs, Dallas, Hiram, Temple, Douglasville, Lithia Springs, Mableton, Smyrna, Vinings, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Canton and Woodstock. 

Check out our coupons on Merchant Circle to save $10 on a rock chip repair. We also offer full power window repair services.  Ask about our referral program for auto detailers, mechanics (especially mobile mechanics) and insurance agents.  Ask about our fund raising programs for Atlanta non-profits including churches, 501C3s and car clubs. 

Call 770-827-7702 for more details and/or to set up your repair or replacement today at the convenience of your home on your schedule.  Many repairs can be done the same day.  Take a moment now to put this number in your cell phone under Glass so you have it when you might need it most.

Whether your auto window is stuck up, down or in between, it's a hassle. 

When your power window actuator fails to open the window and it doesn't move, you'll have no way to go through a drive thru  or pay tolls or without a major hassle.  This is the last thing you want to deal with when it's cold and rainy.

If you hit the power window switch when the window is down and nothing happens to your Atlanta car, you are exposed to potential weather related water damage and major security issues for the vehicle.

Call Glass King at 770-827-7702. Same day service is often available and we come to you for a price that is often much less than the car dealership. Whether you drive a Ford, Lexus, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Chrysler, Chevy or GMC car, we can help.

We also offer rock chip repair and windshield / back glass replacement. We'll work with your insurance company and as with the power windows, we come to you. Ask about our referral and fund raising programs. Put this number in your cell phone today to have it when you need it for your safety and protection of your car and property. 

Most of our clients are in Cobb (Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth, Mableton, Powder Springs, Smyrna, Vinings), Fulton (Atlanta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs), Douglas (Douglasville, Lithia Springs, Winston) and Paulding (Dallas, Hiram, Temple) counties.

When your Atlanta power window is stuck, you're in luck.  Call us today!  770-827-7702

Acworth auto glass and mobile windshield repair / replacement specialist, Glass King, has over 20 years of experience and often saves money over fixed locations.  While we only use OEM quality replacement glass, we are still able to keep our prices fair because we do not have the same overhead that many fixed Acworth locations have to deal with.

Another issue that many people don't consider when buying auto glass in Acworth (30101 or 30102), is the quality of the urethane that the installer is using.  Top companies, like Glass King, will use a more expense urethane with a 1-hour cure time.  This is important to help get a fast seal to prevent future water leaking, but also allows you to get back on the road faster. 

If the auto glass company replacing your windshield is using a low grade urethane, it may not really be safe to drive away for 2-3 hours.  Since the windshield is a structural part of the car, helping to support the roof in the event of a rollover accident, you want to make sure you know what they use to install your windshield. 

Glass King has clients in Acworth, Hiram, Kennesaw, Roswell, Alpharetta, Cumming, Powder Springs, Dallas, Cartersville, Douglasville, Marietta and Atlanta, with other clients in farther out areas of metro Atlanta.  Call today for a free estimate, 770-827-7702. Keep our number in your cell phone, as you never know when you will need it and don't want to have to look for it.

Another thing you should consider is putting your emergency contact under ICE (In Case of Emergency) in your cell phone, as many rescue professionals are trained to look for this number in your cell phone.
