Why Buckley Area Windshields Get Damaged

The Buckley SFB area is positioned at a crossroads of several major Aurora roads that are known for windshield damage. Mississippi Avenue, Quincy Avenue, and Hampden Avenue all carry heavy traffic and are frequently resurfaced, leaving loose gravel on the roadway. The I-225 corridor, which many Buckley-area residents use for commuting, has ongoing construction that generates debris. Additionally, military families who travel to and from Buckley via E-470 face the toll road's well-documented rock chip hazards.

PCS Moves and Windshield Timing

Military families at Buckley face a unique windshield consideration: PCS (Permanent Change of Station) moves. If you are PCSing away from Aurora and your windshield has damage, getting it repaired or replaced before your move is strongly recommended. Here is why:

• Moving companies may refuse vehicles with cracked windshields if the vehicle is being shipped to your next duty station.
• Driving cross-country with a cracked windshield is risky. Temperature and altitude changes during a long drive can cause cracks to spread rapidly.
• Insurance coverage may change. Your USAA policy remains active, but getting service in a new location takes time to arrange. Handle it while you are still in Aurora.
• Colorado glass coverage is excellent. Some states do not offer the same zero-deductible glass benefits. Use your Colorado coverage before you leave.

Other Military Insurance Providers

All of these providers cover windshield replacement under comprehensive policies, and Colorado law ensures your right to choose your own provider regardless of your insurer.
