FAQs

Most windshield chip repairs can be completed in under an hour. The process involves cleaning the damaged area, injecting resin, and curing it to restore structural integrity. At Elevation Auto Glass, we prioritize quick service to prevent chips from spreading into larger cracks.

Windshield repair fixes small chips and cracks by filling them with resin, while replacement involves removing the entire windshield and installing a new one. Repair is faster and more affordable for minor damage, but larger cracks or damage in the driver's line of sight typically require full replacement.

Window motors often require replacement rather than repair when they fail, as internal components wear out over time. Our technicians diagnose the issue to determine whether the motor, regulator, or electrical system is at fault. At Elevation Auto Glass, we handle both motors and regulators for all vehicle makes.

Colorado Springs experiences significant temperature swings between day and night, which causes glass to expand and contract rapidly. This thermal stress accelerates chip spreading, especially during winter months. Addressing chips quickly helps prevent them from turning into costly full windshield replacements.

Power lock failures typically result from worn actuators, faulty wiring, or blown fuses. Sometimes the issue is with the key fob or central locking system rather than the lock mechanism itself. At Elevation Auto Glass, we provide expert diagnostics to identify and fix the exact cause of lock malfunctions.

Yes, construction vehicles often require thicker, more durable glass designed to withstand harsh jobsite conditions and debris impacts. Custom cutting ensures proper fitment for specialized equipment. Elevation Auto Glass offers custom glass solutions and on-site replacement services for construction fleets.

Custom glass cutting involves precise measurements and specialized equipment to create glass pieces for non-standard sizes or shapes. This service is essential for older vehicles, heavy machinery, and residential projects requiring exact specifications. We ensure accurate cuts for perfect fitment in specialized applications.

On-site glass replacement for excavators, cranes, and other heavy machinery involves bringing tools and materials directly to the equipment location. This minimizes downtime and eliminates the need to transport large machinery. Elevation Auto Glass provides mobile service for construction sites throughout the Colorado Springs area.

Interior door handles can sometimes be repaired if only the lever or spring mechanism is damaged, but plastic handles often require full replacement when they crack or break. Exterior handles typically need replacement due to weather exposure and wear. We service both interior and exterior handles for all vehicle makes.

Casement windows offer superior energy efficiency due to their tight seal when closed, reducing heating costs in Colorado's cold winters. They provide excellent ventilation control and are easy to operate with a crank mechanism. At Elevation Auto Glass, we ensure expert fitting and sealing for maximum performance.

Yes, repairing a small chip immediately prevents it from spreading into a larger crack that requires full windshield replacement. Temperature changes, road vibrations, and moisture can quickly worsen the damage. Quick repair under an hour saves both time and money compared to replacement.

Window regulators fail due to worn cables, broken plastic guides, or stripped gears from repeated use over time. Forcing a stuck window or exposure to moisture can also damage the regulator mechanism. Elevation Auto Glass diagnoses and replaces faulty regulators to restore smooth window operation for all car makes.
