Charlie Banik, lifetime resident and longtime businessman, has opened a SuperGlass Windshield Repair franchise to serve Tompkins county and the surrounding area. The franchise, part of a chain of over 280 locations, specializes in the repair of rock damaged and cracked glass.

The process prevents further cracking and restores safe driving vision. It also allows for the retention of the original factory seal, which is important to the structural safety of the vehicle. Banik also performs scratch removal from glass and headlight restoration. Banik offers mobile service throughout Tompkins, Chemung, Steuben & Tioga counties.

"I knew it was important to bring windshield repair to the Finger Lakes area. Our repairs not only save the customer the cost of expensive replacement, but also help the environment by keeping glass out of the local landfill," Banik said.  ""Many people are not aware that the windshield is a safety feature that keeps the driver and passengers inside the vehicle in case of an accident."

The franchise services truck fleets, car dealerships, rental & leasing agencies and the individual motorist on a mobile basis.
