It’s April in Seattle, WA—the rain is doing its thing, the cherry blossoms are out, people are jogging in shorts like it’s summer (spoiler: it’s not), and your business fleet? Well, those windshields are one pothole away from shattering like your March Madness bracket.
Let’s talk about your fleet for a second. You’ve got vans, trucks, sedans—whatever your operation is, they’re moving every day. Deliveries, service calls, airport runs—you name it. But have you actually looked at their windshields lately? Because if you haven’t, April might just sneak up and slap you with a surprise crack that turns into a full-blown replacement job.
April Fool’s Day is great for harmless pranks. You know, fake parking tickets, “Out of Order” signs on functioning toilets… that stuff’s funny. But you know what’s not funny? One of your drivers calling in because the windshield cracked halfway through a job and they can’t see past the dashboard. That’s not a prank—that’s a business disruption.
At Chip Happens Auto Glass, we specialize in fleet windshield repair and replacement services in Seattle, and trust us when we say this: there’s no good time for unexpected windshield damage—but spring is an especially bad time to ignore it. Let’s break it down.
Look, Seattle roads in the spring are a mess. Between the potholes from winter, the random leftover gravel, and your good ol’ buddy Pacific Northwest rain, it’s like the roads were designed to test your fleet’s durability.
Temperature Swings: Spring in Seattle means one day it’s 45°F and raining, the next it’s 65°F and sunny. Your windshield? It’s expanding, contracting, and basically doing yoga under stress.
Road Debris: Gravel trucks out here be wildin’. Your fleet vehicles are constantly dodging rogue pebbles, construction leftovers, and random junk that flew out of someone’s poorly packed Subaru.
Fleet Mileage: Your vehicles are on the road constantly, which means more wear and tear, more chances for chips, and more risk of those tiny rock dings turning into giant, windshield-spanning cracks.
Old Damage Getting Worse: A chip from December that didn’t seem like a big deal back then? It’s plotting. It’s growing. It’s spreading. And it’s gonna strike right in the middle of your next big contract unless you fix it now.
Let’s keep it real: running a fleet isn’t cheap. Fuel, insurance, maintenance—it all adds up. So when one vehicle goes down because of something preventable like a windshield crack that turned into a safety hazard, you’re losing time, money, and reliability points with your clients.
🚛 One down vehicle = missed jobs
If one of your drivers can’t safely hit the road, that’s deliveries delayed, appointments rescheduled, and money not earned.
🚛 A crack can lead to bigger liability issues
If your driver can’t see clearly or the structural integrity of the windshield is compromised, it’s not just a performance issue—it’s a safety issue. And if something happens? That’s on you.
🚛 DOT inspections can be brutal
You think a chip or crack is no big deal? Think again. Fleet vehicles are subject to stricter inspections, and a busted windshield can lead to failed checks, citations, or worse—your vehicle getting taken off the road.
🚛 It’s not just one windshield
You don’t run one vehicle. You’ve got a lineup. A squad. A rolling army. If one windshield is damaged, chances are others are too—and waiting means replacing multiple windshields when you could’ve repaired them for way less.
At Chip Happens Auto Glass, we work with businesses across Seattle to keep their fleets in tip-top shape. Whether you’ve got two trucks or two dozen, we bring the tools, the tech, and the team to get your windshields back to 100%.
We Do a Full Windshield Checkup
We inspect each vehicle in your fleet for chips, cracks, or damage that could become a problem. We’ll let you know what’s good, what’s borderline, and what needs immediate attention.
We Come to You
This isn’t your standard “bring it in and sit around for 3 hours” deal. Our mobile team comes to your lot, your job site, or wherever your vehicles are parked. We work around your schedule so you don’t lose valuable drive time.
We Repair or Replace as Needed
Small rock chip? We fix it in under 30 minutes. Full windshield replacement? We handle that too—OEM-grade glass, professional installation, ADAS calibration if needed.
We Keep Records
We’ll help you track which vehicles got service, when, and what was done, so you’ve got documentation for compliance, maintenance logs, and peace of mind.
There are a lot of auto glass shops out there, but here’s what makes Chip Happens Auto Glass different—especially for fleet accounts:
✔ Seattle-Based, Locally-Owned
We’re not a chain. We know this city, these roads, and what your vehicles go through year-round.
✔ Specialized in Fleet Service
We’ve worked with delivery companies, HVAC teams, plumbing fleets, mobile pet groomers—you name it. We understand the logistics, timelines, and challenges of keeping a fleet road-ready.
✔ Fast Turnaround Times
We don’t mess around. We get in, get it done, and get you back on the road—without sacrificing quality.
✔ Insurance and Billing Made Easy
We handle the paperwork, work with your fleet insurance provider, and offer simple billing options for ongoing service agreements.
✔ We Spot the Small Stuff Before It Gets Big
The goal isn’t just to fix what’s broken—it’s to catch issues before they cost you. We’re like the windshield whisperers.
Look, we all love a good April Fool’s prank. But you know what’s not funny? Pulling into a job site with a cracked windshield and realizing your driver can’t complete the route. Or worse—getting pulled over for something that could’ve been fixed weeks ago.
Take control this spring. Use April as your reminder to check your fleet’s windshields and handle any damage before it becomes a logistical nightmare.
