MY AUTO GLASS ESCAPADE

You remember the time when you got your first car, the joy and the unlimited trips you have planned. Well, I did that too, I was ecstatic, I had an itinerary for the entire month and all my friends were in on the plan. But then, one not so fine day, I saw disaster had struck my car in the Toronto auto glass area. Yes, it had only been a month to this new buy and I saw disaster.
It was in the form of a crack right in the center of my wind shield and it was as prominent as day light. Your first car is like your baby, you wish no harm to come to it and when you see this, all hell breaks loose. The same happened to me. I did spend a lot of time crying over spilt milk, fretting about its consequences and feeling how the car could no longer be seen as brand new as it needed a repair so soon. But well, something had to be done and it had to be done soon for me to be able to get started on everyday life. I did not know how this crack appeared on the wind screen as it happened over night and the thought of not knowing what had happened and what could have happened bugged me more and of course the anxiety. Anyways, as it’s said life must go on and one must learn to get things going on your own. It was time I learnt how to get instant repairs and replacements like I learnt to buy myself the perfect car. Searching over the internet about Toronto auto glass, I was presented with a number of options and a some informative material on how to get to get repairs, the Do’s and Don’ts on repairs and replacements and which one is better and smarter for your car, the environment, the benefits and things here and there. After carefully short listing my options I went to a local auto glass repair shop some 10mins drive as that one was first on my list and closest to me.
The specialist on seeing my car clearly knew what to do and seeing me unhappy and distraught calmed me down, while also realizing this was my new car my love. The specialist calmed me down at first and explained to me that the crack could have appeared for a number of factors and I need not worry. He told me of tips on cleaning my auto glass and the things that damage the windshield. Next he explained the process of repairing the crack and why it’s better than replacing the shield, as it would not only save me some money but also replacing the entire windshield was not required in this task. I must say, the in the Scarborough auto glass shop, the guy was pretty soft spoken and walked me through the entire process step by step. In about 30 min maximum, the crack was repaired like it never appeared before. And it was then I decided to keep this secret to myself that something had ever happened to the glass and of course my parents so they wouldn’t get on my case and blame me for being careless. Anyways the job was done in about 30 minutes and cost me less than a hundred, which too was a surprise for me for a first timer. I should say, this was my first time and it didn’t seem all that of a hassle. If you are facing a similar crisis in the Scarborough auto glass area, worry not. You are fretting over nothing.
