Auto Glass Repair in Stonewall, LA
What makes Stonewall hard on windshields is the traffic mix. Haynesville Shale service trucks, sand and gravel haulers and loaded log rigs work US-171 and the parish roads at the same hours everyone else is commuting or running kids to school. Heavy trucks track rock out of job sites and onto the pavement, and the next vehicle through throws it.
Plenty of Stonewall residents work in Shreveport and make that fifteen-mile run up US-171 or I-49 twice a day. It is not a long commute, but it is a fast one, shared with the heaviest trucks in the parish. That is where most of the chips we repair out here come from.
Oilfield Traffic and Glass Damage on US-171
I-49 through DeSoto Parish is a major north-south freight corridor, and US-171 carries everything that does not want the interstate. Between them they put a constant stream of heavy vehicles through Stonewall, and the shoulders and turnouts they use stay covered in loose aggregate.
Then the weather takes over. Northwest Louisiana runs long stretches of ninety-five degree afternoons that leave parked glass near a hundred and fifty, followed by thunderstorms that drop the surface temperature thirty degrees in ten minutes. A chip that looked stable all week runs across the glass in that swing.
What to Do When Your Windshield Cracks in Stonewall
Back Off the Truck
If you are behind a sand hauler or a log truck on US-171 or I-49, back off and give yourself distance. Most of the rock that hits your windshield came off the vehicle in front of you.
Pull Off Safely
The I-49 exit at Stonewall and the lots along Stonewall-Frierson Road and the US-171 commercial strip all give you a safe place to pull off and assess the damage.
Assess the Damage
A chip smaller than a quarter, not at the glass edge and not obstructing your view, is generally safe until we arrive. Anything else should be looked at before you drive on.
