It does. When temperatures hit triple digits, the glass and the frame around it expand at different rates. A chip that’s stable in mild weather can spider out into a crack in one hot afternoon. If you’ve got a chip, don’t wait.

Highway driving does increase your exposure — especially behind large trucks on I-15 or US-95. Keeping distance from gravel or debris-hauling vehicles is the best prevention. But if you do take a hit, call us before the chip grows.

A few reasons. Las Vegas has more active construction than almost any city in the country — gravel trucks, loose debris, and chip-heavy highways are everywhere. On top of that, the extreme heat causes glass to expand and contract, which turns small chips into cracks faster than in cooler climates. It’s not bad luck. It’s just Las Vegas.
