Windshield Repairs

One of the most crucial aspects of vehicle safety is having a clear and properly functioning windshield. If your windshield is damaged, it’s essential to come by for windshield repair as soon as possible to avoid any potential hazards on the road. Windshield damage comes in various forms, including chips, cracks, bullseyes, and star breaks. Chips are small, circular damage often caused by rocks, gravel, or debris hitting the windshield; they are usually less than the size of a quarter. Cracks are lines or fissures that extend from the point of impact on the windshield and can vary in length, width, and shape. A bullseye is a type of chip with a dark circle in the center, surrounded by a white ring, and a star break is a type of damage that looks like a star; it has cracks radiating out from the center. Our auto shop offers windshield repair for these types of damages. We use the right materials and follow strict guidelines for superior results!

Windshield Replacements

We understand the importance of a safe driving experience. If your windshield gets damaged beyond the point of repair, we offer windshield replacement. For example, suppose a crack is longer than six inches or extends to the edge of the windshield. In that case, replacement is necessary because the windshield’s structural integrity could be compromised. If there are multiple cracks, replacement is deemed necessary because the windshield may no longer withstand the stress and pressure of everyday use. A bullseye or star break larger than a quarter, damage located in the driver’s line of sight, and damage present to the windshield frame are additional scenarios when your windshield needs to be replaced. Windshields can also become worn and develop scratches or pitting over time, ultimately requiring replacement to prevent unsafe driving situations. Contact our professional auto glass technicians if you are unsure whether your windshield needs to be repaired or replaced. We can assess the damage and recommend the best course of action.

Water Pump

August 1, 2026

Water Pump Let's talk water pumps for vehicles in Sandy, UT. The engine is cooled by coolant/antifreeze mixed with water. This mixture circulates around the engine, absorbing some of the heat. The coolant then flows through the radiator where air cools it down for the return trip back through the engine. Your vehicle's water pump is what drives this process. Cooling system problems are the number-one mechanical failure in Sandy. So the water pump plays a pretty important role. You can't get very far in UT without a water pump. After all that distance and years of pumping coolant, water pumps just wear out. You might notice a whining or grinding sound coming from the water pump. Or maybe see coolant leaking from the pump itself. The precise location of the water pump varies depending on the vehicle. Some have the water pump attached to the outside of the engine where you can see it. With these, the water pump is driven by the serpentine belt. Some have the water pump driven by the timing belt. The timing belt cover often hides the water pump with this setup, so you can't see the pump without removing the cover. When you have McNeil's AutoCare replace the water pump on one of these, you really should replace the timing belt at the same time. We've already gotten things taken apart and besides, the belt's likely been contaminated by coolant. And timing belts usually need to be replaced every 60,000 to 90,000 miles, or 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers, anyway, so it just makes sense to do both jobs at once. The opposite is true too; when you change the timing belt on this type of engine, replace the water pump while you're at it. The water pump will eventually fail and getting to it is an expensive project. For not that much more you can take care of both the timing belt and the water pump at the same time.
