Auto Glass Repair in Minden, LA

The stretch of I-20 between Minden and Shreveport is one of the busiest freight corridors in north Louisiana, and it is the road nearly everyone here uses for work, medical appointments and shopping. Twenty-eight miles each way at seventy-five, much of it behind trucks, is a great deal of exposure for a piece of glass.

US-79 and LA-7 south toward Lake Bistineau are a different kind of road. Narrower, with soft gravel shoulders and pine limbs hanging over the pavement, they trade highway speed for debris that is closer and lower. Both routes chip windshields, just in different ways.

I-20 Truck Traffic and Windshield Chips

I-20 is the main freight route between Shreveport and Monroe, and Webster Parish sits right in the middle of it. Add the log trucks running down out of the parish timber country and you have a corridor that produces windshield damage on a schedule.

Louisiana heat and humidity compound the problem. Glass that sits at a hundred and forty degrees in an open lot all afternoon, then takes a cold thunderstorm at five o'clock, is glass under real stress. Any existing chip is the weak point where that stress becomes a crack.
