It happens in a split second: One second you are driving down the highway on your way to work, and the next second a car in front of you shoots up a small rock, which smashes directly into your windshield. Of course, your windshield doesn’t shatter into a million pieces like you dramatically think it might, but you are instead left with a small crack which, in a sense, is even more annoying. You look at the small crack and realize that, after a couple of days and nights of warm, wet days and cool nights, that crack is going to get bigger, until it stretches across the windshield. The key to getting the windshield properly taken care of is to take it to one of the auto mechanics in hilo who specializes in glass repair services.
