A cracked windshield does not wait for your day off
A stone off the truck ahead, a piece of wood that finds the glass, a chip that spreads overnight. The damage rarely arrives at a convenient time, and the last thing anyone wants is to lose half a day sitting in a waiting room while the car is in a bay.
That is the reason Brent's Glass started out as Brent's Mobile Glass. The old name is still alive in the business email address, brentsmobileglass@gmail.com, and in reviews that call it BMG. The shop at Suite D on Lochlyn Place came later. The habit of pulling into a customer's driveway never went away.
Three customers, in three different years, wrote about Brent replacing their glass at home. Their words are further down this page, exactly as they wrote them.
How Brent works at your address
Call (478) 972-7741 and tell him the vehicle and where it will be parked. One customer wrote that Brent “had me scheduled within minutes for Wednesday.” Say whether you want him at your house, your workplace or the shop, and he will tell you if the job suits that spot.
Step one is the spot. Windshield work wants a reasonably level patch of ground, room to walk around both sides of the car, and dry weather. Step two is the fit. The old glass comes out, the frame is cleaned, and the new windshield is set in urethane and taped while it cures. Step three is the tidy-up. Dustin Gibson wrote that Brent “took about 2 hours to do the work, left no trash or broken glass in or around my car.”
Rain changes the plan. Ashley Roy wrote that it started raining, so Brent offered to relocate to somewhere with shelter for the car, because adhesive and wet glass do not mix. Anything stuck to the glass is worth pointing out before he starts. Dustin’s gate sticker went onto the new windshield without being destroyed.
After he drives away, the glass is still setting
The urethane keeps curing after the new windshield is in, so the car is not ready for hard use the moment the last piece of tape goes on. How long you should wait depends on the day, the heat and the humidity, and Brent tells you the number for your job instead of handing you a rule of thumb.
Aftercare is part of the visit. Paul Fitzgerald wrote that Brent “provided me with great directions for aftercare,” and it is worth listening to. Typical guidance for a fresh windshield is to leave the tape alone, go easy on the doors for the first day or two, and keep the car out of a pressure wash until Brent says it is fine.
Tint is the exception to the driveway habit. Film is laid in the bay at Suite D, so a tint job means bringing the car to Bonaire. Everything else on this page happens wherever the car is parked.
