Construction traffic and loose material
Ongoing development across north Thornton puts dump trucks and gravel loads on the same roads as commuters. Those are ideal conditions for windshield chips, especially on the I-25 stretch north of 104th.
Catch damage before winter
A chip that survives fall often fails in January. Sealing it while the weather is mild is faster, cheaper and less likely to leave a visible blemish.
Mobile service across Thornton
Most of Thornton is residential with driveway or lot parking, so mobile chip repairs and side glass replacements are usually straightforward to schedule.
