Whatever action you’ve got planned this December, don’t gamble with your good times by neglecting car maintenance – including auto glass – before you leave.
So says Gary Stieger, founder and MD of My Glass, a digitally enabled glass fitment group with mobile fitment units across South Africa.
Bet on a clear view every time
Stieger says motorists should check the condition of their auto glass as a standard part of their pre-road trip preparations.
“Even a minor chip on a windscreen could refract light and impair visibility, putting you in danger when you’re driving. Worse, it could affect the structural integrity of the entire windscreen and lead to a much larger crack,” he says.
A chip could become a crack as a result of driving along bumpy roads or due to temperature changes, such as when air conditioning is turned on when a car has been parked in the sun.
Stieger says: “Having to arrange repairs to a significant crack could eat into precious holiday time, and who wants to gamble with that?”
Another important pre-trip safety consideration is windshield camera calibration. Vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) need the ADAS cameras calibrated when windscreens are repaired or replaced, Stieger notes.
Checking that your vehicle’s glass is sound and ready for the summer road trip is simple with My Glass, Stieger says.
“We have over 200 mobile fitment units around South Africa bringing convenient on-site solutions to wherever you are. My Glass has glass fitment professionals accredited to repair and replace windscreens, and carry out ADAS calibration,” he says.
Shaken or stirred?
My Glass teams understand that glass fitment is generally needed after a traumatic event. Whether the damage was caused by a rogue stone, sudden weather damage, a collision or an unfortunate break-in, My Glass helps ease your stress by simplifying the replacement and repair process, and helping with your insurance claims.
Stieger says: “After an upsetting incident, you don’t want to drive around without a window, you don’t need to wait until you’re back home – and you don’t need to end your holiday because of it. You can get a My Glass mobile fitment unit to do your repairs and replacement quickly, no matter where you are, by a team of people who are experienced and understand what you’re going through.”
Licensed to fit
“Our experienced fitment teams can repair chips and replace the windows on any make or model vehicle, and also offer window tinting. We use only the best replacement glass,” Stieger says. “One of our trusted suppliers is Fuyao Group, a provider of top quality automotive glass. Fuyao glass is fitted in major brands such as Volkswagen, BMW and Audi; it has many international safety accreditations, and it typically is more affordable than most locally manufactured glass.”
The name’s glass. My Glass.
