Windshield Replacement Wylie
Wylie sits between Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard, out SH-78 from Garland. Ask anyone who was here in April 2016 about glass and you will get the same story.
On April 11 that year softball-sized hail damaged most of the homes in the city and a great many car windows, and it is the reason Wylie drivers take the question of where to park more seriously than most.
Working in Wylie
After hail, the order you do things in matters
Hail damages glass in a particular pattern. Back windows and sunroofs are tempered and tend to shatter completely; windshields are laminated, so they star and crack but stay in one piece. If a storm catches your car, cover any open window with plastic to keep the rain off the interior, photograph everything before you clean up, and call your insurer and us the same day, because after a big storm glass companies book up fast and some parts run short. It makes sense to deal with an open back window first and a cracked windshield that is still sealed after it.

What Wylie drivers call us for
The jobs behind most calls here, what each one involves, and where to read more.
Windshield replacement
A hail-cracked windshield stays in one piece, so it can wait a day or two behind broken back glass, but not much longer. We quote from your VIN and can give you a written quote for your insurer. A replacement averages around $350 across DFW.

Windshield chip and crack repair
Day to day, SH-78 and FM 544 are where Wylie chips come from. One about quarter size or smaller, clear of the edge and the driver’s line of sight, is usually repairable.
Back glass and sunroofs after hail
Tempered glass shatters into granules. We fit the new pane and clear the fragments out of the cargo area, the seats and the sunroof tracks.

Wylie questions
My windshield is cracked from hail but not leaking. Can I drive it?
A windshield holds together when it cracks, so the car is usually drivable for a short time, but a crack in front of the driver or one that keeps growing should be dealt with first. Our guide to driving with a cracked windshield in Texas covers the detail.
Where should I park when hail is forecast?
Under a solid roof if you have one: a garage, or a parking deck. Failing that, the side of a building away from the wind helps, and a thick blanket over the glass is better than nothing. Our DFW hail season guide has more.
Do you cover Woodbridge, Inspiration and the lake side?
Yes. Historic Downtown around Ballard Avenue, Woodbridge, Bozman Farms, Birmingham Farms, Inspiration and the streets toward Lavon Lake are all covered.
