Accurate Auto Glass: fitting and installing
Accurate Auto Glass’ services are simple: they fit and install auto, commercial and residential glass.
Marie Landry, who co-owns the business with Kurt Hemelt, has been in the glass business for over 33 years, and she opened Accurate Auto Glass five-and-a-half years ago. The store’s specialty and namesake – auto glass – gets a lot of attention at this business. Landry says the technicians use the highest quality glass in replacing and repairing windshields and windows, and they provide services for cars, trucks, vans, SUVs and RVs. The business also expanded its commercial and residential division to include frameless shower enclosures, window panes and furniture glass. Accurate Auto Glass strives to make glass repairs or replacements as painless as possible – the technicians offer to come directly to the customer’s house or office, and there is a feature on the business’s Web site that allows customers to receive quotes on potential glass jobs. “We’re the best,” Landry says. “The owners are personally involved every day. We’ve all been doing this for a long time, and we care about what we do.” Additionally, the business offers a warranty with timely service and competitive pricing.
