Did A Small Tree Or Branch Crack Your Windshield? Get A Mobile Service And Drive Quickly

If a small tree or some tree branches have fallen on your vehicle and you have some cracks from the event, but you have to get to work or use your vehicle quickly, there are a few things that you'll want to do. Even if you can easily lift the small tree or move the branches so they are off your vehicle, you don't want to touch them until you have taken the right steps. Here are a few things to consider so you can get out of the house quickly after the incident.

Take Pictures                            

You want to take pictures to show the insurance company the damage. You want to take pictures of the tree that was fallen, the branches while they were still on your vehicle, and the damage to your vehicle. This way you have the evidence you need that shows the severity of the damages that your vehicle experienced, and it shows what the area looked like around your car so there are no questions it was a weather related incident.

Find a Mobile Service

Find a mobile windshield repair service to come to your property. They should be able to do the following:

• Repair the small chips or cracks

File Your Insurance Claim

If you have other damages to the vehicle like scratches or dents that you want to get repaired, you want to talk with an insurance representative. Make sure that you send them the pictures, the bill from the windshield repair professional, and explain what you have to repair on the vehicle. If the damage's total is much higher than your deductible, you want to make a claim.
