I'm a long time advocate of Vitta Auto Glass and have referred them to several friends and family over the years; many of whom, have thanked me for directing them to an honest company that provides a valuable service at a fair price.
I had the unfortunate but sadly, not uncommon experience, of driving on the beltway and then having a large construction vehicle pull onto I-495 - and even with one of those covers over the truck bed - little rocks and debris bounced out and onto the road and subsequently onto my windshield causing a small dime-sized crack. Aargh!
In the past, I would schedule Vitta to come to my residence to repair the windshield, but they were super busy and not working in my area for at least another week, so I decided to drive out to their shop in Sterling. Sterling is 20+ miles from me, but I called on a Friday and they were able to set up and confirm an appointment the next day; bonus that they have Saturday hours.
TIP: If you opt to visit their shop in Sterling, VA, definitely call to SCHEDULE AND CONFIRM an appointment since the technician is usually booked and there are limited hours.
The Vitta Auto Glass shop is located in a non-descript (and somewhat sketchy) industrial park. For reference, when you pull into the parking lot, it is located in the BACK of the Dulles Autobody and Paint. Follow the signs to the right up a gravel path, and there will be signs for Vitta Auto Glass.
I arrived a bit early for my 1pm appointment, but the techs arrived around 1:15pm since they were at lunch. They examined the chip, and immediately cleaned the area, and applied the resin to fill the crack to prevent it from expanding to the dreaded "spider web" pattern. They used a special UV light to speed up the drying/curing time. All told, the entire process took maybe 15-20 minutes.
Best of all, to repair the chip, it only cost me $25!!! Of course keep in mind that depending on the size, number of chips, and severity of repair(s), your price may vary. Also, not sure if it would've cost more for mobile services, but it was worth the drive for me, since after getting a few quotes, the next cheapest repair shop quoted me $75.
As an additional note, not only does Vitta perform windshield repair, but also whole windshield replacement and calibration of the sensors, which are found on most modern vehicles.
Until proven otherwise, I will continue to recommend Vitta Auto Glass and am a satisfied and happy customer. read more
