❄️ Ice Scraping Tip for Cold Mornings

When clearing ice from your windshield, always use a proper ice scraper designed for auto glass.

We’ve seen a variety of different items, metal snow shovels, soda cans, landscape rocks, speed squares, and many many more. Unfortunately, we usually see the damage after.

Those items can scratch, chip and damage coatings meant to protect your windshield and/or door glasses. Once the damage has occured, there are no options other than replace the damaged glass!

A quality plastic ice scraper is the safest option and helps avoid unnecessary repairs.

If winter damage does happen, Glassworks is always here to help.

Most drivers don't realize...

When you file an auto glass insurance claim, the first call often goes through a third-party administrator (TPA).

For nearly every major insurance company, that TPA is Safelite Solutions.

The following is just a few phrases they use to pressure you into using their own company for the replacement:

• “Y𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵”
• “W𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬”
• “T𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘈𝘋𝘈𝘚 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮”

Here’s the truth they don’t emphasize:
✔ You are not required to use their shop
✔ Your insurance coverage does not end because you choose local
✔ You will not be charged extra for choosing Glassworks
✔ Glassworks is qualified to service your ADAS equipped vehicle

If you’d rather not use a national chain focused more on marketing than service, choose local, choose Glassworks.

We see this more often than you’d think..

While installing new wiper blades, a wiper arm can snap back onto the windshield and cause it to crack, especially in cold weather. A simple towel or piece of cardboard placed on the glass can prevent it.

A small precaution can save a big repair.

Commercial & fleet work doesn’t always fit into a standard schedule.

This truck needed service first thing this morning and timing mattered. We coordinated directly with the driver and completed the replacement on-site so operations could keep moving.

At Glassworks, we work around busy schedules, especially for commercial/fleet customers who can’t afford downtime.

Winter conditions can be unpredictable.

This damage was caused by a piece of ice sliding off the top of a semi trailer after the snow storm a few weeks back. The customer was only in town for two days, so timing mattered.

Our team handled the replacement promptly, got the vehicle safely repaired, and had the customer back on the road without delay.

This is the kind of situation we’re prepared for every day- serving drivers who need professional auto glass service, even on a tight schedule.

Vandalism can cause a real headache.
This windshield came in badly damaged and unsafe—but that’s where the frustration ended.

We replaced the glass properly, ensured the interior was cleaned of any glass and got this vehicle back on the road the right way. No shortcuts. No wasted trips or time.

At Glassworks, we understand that unexpected damage—especially vandalism—is inconvenient. Our job is to make the fix as smooth and stress-free as possible.

If you’re dealing with sudden windshield damage, we’re here to help.
