You work hard to take care of your car and avoid expensive repairs. Unfortunately, even the most well-maintained vehicles require a windshield replacement once in a while. For Cincinnati, OH-area drivers, GlassPro, Inc. is the go-to destination for auto glass repairs, from minor issues to hail damage. 

Wondering how you got those frustrating chips or cracks in the first place? Here are three common culprits behind windshield replacements:

• Bad Roads: Driving down a road loaded with gravel or other debris poses a huge risk to your auto glass. Even the tiniest piece of debris can cause an unsightly crack if it hits your windshield at the right speed. Although it’s unavoidable sometimes, try to avoid bad roads, especially those that are unpaved or under construction.
• Construction Vehicles: It’s not uncommon for construction vehicles to have debris stuck to their back and sides, ready to fall off onto your windshield. In addition, these large vehicles are well known for spitting up crack-causing pebbles and rocks. Stay a safe distance behind them on the road, and you might just avoid an unnecessary windshield replacement. 
• Minor Accidents: It’s not just vehicle accidents that cause auto glass issues. Whether it’s a baseball that flies a little too far or an icicle that falls from the roof, everyday accidents can cause damage, too. It’s best to put your car in the garage if you have one or look for a safe place to park if you don’t.

No matter what, you have the right to select the glass company of your choice (not your insurance company). For more information on windshield replacement and repairs, visit Cincinnati’s GlassPro, Inc. online, or call (513) 874-6559 to request your free quote today.
