Auto Glass & Window Tint in Antioch, CA

Why Antioch windshields take a beating

The busiest stretch of Highway 4

Antioch is East County's largest city, and Highway 4 through town carries heavy commuter and truck traffic toward Pittsburg, Concord and the rest of the Bay Area. More traffic and more trucks mean more thrown gravel. A small bullseye from the freeway is repairable if it's handled before it spreads; see chip and crack repair.

Highway 160 and the Antioch Bridge

Drivers heading north to Rio Vista or Sacramento take Highway 160 over the Antioch Bridge into the Delta, where wind and open farm roads add grit to the mix. Chips from those trips often show up days later as a crack after a temperature swing.

Transit commuters and parked cars

Plenty of Antioch commuters leave a car all day at the Antioch BART station near Hillcrest Avenue and Highway 4, or at park-and-ride lots. A car parked in full sun for nine hours is exactly where good ceramic tint earns its keep, and it's also where a window break-in is most likely to be discovered at the end of the day.
