Why does Thornton construction traffic cause windshield chips?
Ongoing development across north Thornton puts dump trucks and gravel loads on the same roads as commuters. The I-25 stretch north of 104th is especially prone to stone strikes.
Should I repair a Thornton windshield chip before winter?
Yes. A chip that survives fall often cracks in January, and sealing it in mild weather is faster, cheaper and less likely to leave a visible blemish.
Is mobile auto glass service available across Thornton?
Yes. Most of Thornton is residential with driveway or lot parking, so mobile chip repairs and side glass replacements are usually simple to schedule.
