Please read this Review.

We received this amazing review today on our Google place page. It's not often that someone takes the time to thank us for a job well done; and we really appreciate the people who do, it means a lot and goes a long way to building pride in what we do. 

Congratulations to each and every person at Splashes! You deserve a pat on the back.

Here is the customer review;

"Exceptional, over the top, all around service from all staff involved! I called to get information about replacing my windshield and the gentelman who answered the phone was so friendly and helpful. How can you say no when he said they would provide me with a rental car and have my car cleaned for pickup. The next day I walked into the office with wonderful welcoming staff. It was so easy. When I picked up my car, on my lunch break the same day, my truck had never been so clean, not only outside but inside too. I did not expect my truck to be clean to the point it was. Thank you Splashes for an exceptional job. I will be spreading the word about your windshield replacement service. It was well worth the ICBC deductable. It made it a little easier to pay. SPLASHES is the place to go."

Windshield Rock Chip Repairs Covered By Insurance?

At Splashes Auto Glass in Surrey BC we continuously get phone calls from customers saying that they saw an Auto Glass commercial stating that Windshield Rock Chips are repaired at no cost to the consumer when claiming under their comprehensive insurance.

These commercials are run by a national AutoGlass chain and they advertise for all of North America. But here is Surrey, British Columbia most vehicles are insured through ICBC and ICBC does not cover the repair of Windshield Rock Chips.  ICBC did once pay for windshield chip repairs, but have since removed that coverage all together.

And most private insurance companies do not cover Windshield Rock Chip Repairs either. Although Family Insurance and Canadian Northern Shield are two private companies that come to mind who DO cover Windshield Rock Chip Repairs at no cost to the consumer when claiming under their comprehensive insurance.

If you have recently have had a rock hit your vehicle windshield, you’ll likely be on the hook for getting it repaired. If you do not get your Windshield repaired and it splits or cracks you'll have no choice but to replace the entire windshield. To my knowledge the lowest deductible available from any insurance company in BC is $200.

Therefore Windshield Rock Chip Repairs are much cheaper than a replacement and they only take about 20 minutes to complete. At Splashes in Surrey BC we guarantee our Windshield Rock Chip Repairs for LIFE and there is no appointment necessary! Should your Windshield Rock Chip ever crack or split for any reason, we will refund to you the entire amount of your windshield repair!

X-Kote 1967 Mustang. Paint Restoration, Protection and Scratch Repair

X-Kote is a revolutionary product that is not a wax or polish, but a coating applied to your vehicles finish after it has been prepped, wet sanded and polished. The X-Kote paint restoration coating cures and bonds permanently to the factory finish leaving a smooth, clear and deep coating. The result is an incredibly vivid colour with depth and shine. As Kote bonds to the factory finish it also fills in any scratches and causes them to all but disappear. But most importantly as X-Kote restores your factory finish and is not a wax that will wash off, that brand new shine will last as long as if it were a new.

Check out these vehicles we have recently X-Kote'd

Red Mustang X-Kote Paint Restoration

Click here to check some pictures of this late 80's red Mustang that we brought back to life with our X-Kote Paint Restoration. 

Normally if you tried this on an old oxidized red paint job the color would fade back to it's original dull, faded look within weeks. After cut polishing and wet sanding this Mustang we applied the X-kote Paint Restoration which brought back it's original shine, filled in any scratches. As X-Kote reactivates and chemically bonds to the factory clear coat this cars paint job will looks this good for years!

So this classic has a new lease on life with it's beautifully shinny red paint job.

Best part is, that it's still the original paint!

A question about Touch-Less washes

I had a customer ask me this question;

Ryan...is the drive through wash hard on the paint with the chemicals?

So I thought I would post my response, just in case anyone else is curious;

There are two thoughts on this.
Yes, touch-less wash cleaning soaps can be strong, but there is no friction to damage the clear coat.
Hand washing is good, but it does wear the clear coat and often when a vehicle is dirty you are essentially rubbing the grit over your vehicles paint as you hand wash it.
In my experience the cars that look the worst over time are the ones that get hand washed often and rarely waxed.
The very best thing you can do for your vehicle is to wash it via a touch-less wash 2 to 4 times per month.
Then once a month hand wash it, as a touch-less wash does tend to leave a film over time and finally be sure to wax your vehicle at least twice a year.
A well waxed vehicle will have a barrier between the grit and the paint to help protect it when hand washing, plus a touch-less wash will work much better on a well waxed car.
Hope that helps!
Ryan.
