By Angela Watson


The glass is the most delicate part of a car on which maximum care should be taken when handling. The windscreen, door and back window glass, rear and side mirrors and the sun roof are some of the glasses fitted into an auto. Below are some of the practical cautions to be taken during auto glass repair Manassas VA.

During the emergency, ascertain the gravity of the issue and determine whether it falls within your realm of experience and repair skills.

Major damages even need the attention of the vehicle insurer so as to keep a record and finance the repair expense.

After the assessment, inform the insurance company. The company covers the cost of repairs especially when fatal. It is an important practice to inform the company as they need to get ready to fund the cost of repair. Nobody wants to go a further expense on behalf of someone else when it is not his duty anyway.
