At Hurricane Carwash, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch cleaning services for your vehicles. However, we understand that sometimes your car may have issues like a cracked windshield. In this article, we'll address whether it's safe to go through our car wash with a cracked windshield and offer some helpful tips.
Understanding the Risks of a Cracked Windshield
A cracked windshield is more susceptible to damage from high-pressure water jets and brushes used in automatic car washes. These can cause the crack to spread or even shatter the glass. Additionally, temperature changes from the wash water can lead to thermal shock, further exacerbating the crack.
Our Car Wash Options
At Hurricane Carwash, we offer both automatic car washes (soft touch and touch-free) and hand wash bays. While our automatic washes are designed to be gentle, the pressure and potential for debris still pose a risk to cracked windshields.
Carwash Safety Recommendations
-
Avoid Automatic Washes: If your windshield is cracked, it's best to avoid our automatic car washes until the issue is resolved.
-
Use Our Hand Wash Bays: For a safer option, consider using our hand wash bays. This allows you to control the pressure and avoid exacerbating the crack.
-
Repair or Replace Promptly: Don't delay getting your windshield repaired or replaced. This will ensure your safety on the road and prevent further damage.
Additional Tips
-
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep your car away from direct sunlight, and do not use the defroster or air conditioning at high settings.
Summary
At Hurricane Carwash, we care about your vehicle's well-being and your safety. While we can't recommend using our automatic car washes with a cracked windshield, our hand wash bays provide a safer alternative. Always prioritize your windshield's integrity and address any issues promptly.
