Cimarron Hills sits right up against Powers Boulevard, and Powers is the worst road on the east side for chips. Between the commercial traffic, the construction that never seems to end, and all the loose stuff on the pavement, if your commute touches Powers at all, you're going to get chips.
Peterson traffic puts a lot of the same drivers on the same roads at the same time, so there's plenty of stop and go. Low-speed rock hits still chip glass. They just leave smaller, cleaner bullseyes, which happen to be the easiest kind to repair and the easiest kind to ignore until they spread.
Older neighborhoods, lower prices
A lot of Cimarron Hills was built in the '60s, '70s and '80s, and plenty of the cars here are older than lane-assist cameras. That's good for your wallet. Plain glass with no sensors is usually $250 to $400 installed, and it goes in quicker than a newer windshield with a camera.
What we do see more of on older cars is rust under the old glass, especially if it's been replaced badly before. That has to be cleaned up and primed before the new urethane goes down. It adds a little time, and we'll tell you if we find it.
We'll meet you at work
Most of our jobs here are in a driveway off Peterson Road or Space Village, an apartment lot, or a work lot near the base or the airport. Call with your VIN and tell us where the car will be for about an hour and a half. Chip repairs are quicker, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Questions from Cimarron Hills
Can you do it while I'm at work?
That's how most of our jobs here go. If the lot allows it, we do the glass while you're inside, and you drive home on it once the glue has set.
How do I know if my car needs recalibration?
If it has lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise or automatic emergency braking, there's a camera behind the windshield. Give us the VIN and we'll check.
