Already having been successful in the automotive business, Putnam County resident Joey Jones recently embarked on a new endeavor of servicing the glass needs for residents. 

Jones, who owns Rockstar Window Tinting, said Auto Glass Plus, 3197 U.S. 231, Greencastle, helped him with a challenge he was facing just prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

"I was faced with a challenge of growing. I came up with two options -- move the shop to a more highly populated city or add a service that would be a big addition. I really didn't want to leave my hometown and start over, so we researched industries that would be an easy transition and addition. At one of my previous jobs, I was able to learn glass replacement, and I enjoyed it years ago. It was kind of a mix between accessory type work and collision repair. We set forth to make it a reality," Jones told The Putnam County Post. 

Jones admits he has spent the last few years learning the industry and the future of auto glass replacement and has learned that technology is always changing, as well as the fact that glass is a vital part in the safety of a vehicle. 

"It does a lot more than keep the wind out of your face. It keeps you and your occupants safe. A properly installed windshield is designed to work with your structure in case of a roll over, as well as your airbags in case of an impact. We strive to provide the absolute safest installations possible," Jones said. 

Auto Glass Plus handles all the automotive glass repair and replacement needs a person could need, according to Jones. 

"Whether it is a simple, but important windshield rock chip repair ro full replacement, we can do it. We also have the ability to calibrate all of the safety features built into the windshields of many new vehicles. We are the first independently owned glass company to bring that to the West Central Indiana area," Jones said. 

Auto Glass Plus is open Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
