If the windshield is weakened by a chip or crack or hole from a hail storm, your safety is being compromised. We a Linear Automotive follow the strictest guidelines of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard to ensure occupant safety and the integrity of the vehicle. We use only OEM glass and use the manufacturers recommended urethane adhesives to replace your glass. Your safety is our primary concern.
If your windshield has been damaged by hail, it is important for your safety and vehicle integrity to maintain your vehicle’s safety system. The windshield is the third most important part of your vehicle’s Self Restraint System (SRS) and accounts for 45% of the structural integrity of the cabin of the vehicle in a head on collision, and 60% of the structural integrity in a rollover. In a crash or roll-over accident it supports the roof, helps the airbags deploy and prevents you from absorbing the force of the crash and being thrown from the vehicle.
Our certified PDR technicians are highly skilled and experienced in Paintless Dent Removal of your hail dings and dents. They use specialized tools and rods to massage out the dents from behind the damage, leaving the paint and clear coat surface unblemished while repairing the dented area. If there are surface scratches, these can be buffed out to the original factory paint. The PDR is most effective when the vehicle is a 1990 or newer, because of the newer flexible paints on autos today. If the dent paint is already cracked or chipped off or the dented area is on the edge of the body panel, it is more difficult and sometimes not possible to achieve that polished unblemished repair.
Paintless Dent Repair is not only useful for hail damage; it is also useful for smaller everyday dents that occur. There are the parking lot dents and dings, the driveway dings from balls, and bikes, and the anywhere dings and dents from driving about. These may all be serviced with the PDR. Just stop in at Linear Automotive to see if PDR can repair your dents and dings. If the dent was due to an accident, then we can work with your insurance company for you. We welcome you to stop in for an evaluation to see whether your auto can be serviced with the PDR techniques to bring back that pre-damaged look.
