A Tribute to Roderick L. “Rod” McCullough
Founder of McCullough Auto Care & Tire

With heavy hearts, we announce that the McCullough Auto Care family has lost our father, founder, and mentor. Roderick “Rod” L. McCullough passed away peacefully on February 1, 2025, at the age of 86. A man of integrity, quiet strength, and entrepreneurial spirit, Rod built a lasting legacy in both business and community, leaving behind a life marked by dedication, service, and love for his family.

Roderick moved to the Atlanta area from his native home in Anderson, South Carolina, in the 1960s, focused on starting his family business. He became a successful businessman during the 1970s, owning and operating several Shell service stations throughout the area. In 1969, he founded McCullough Auto Care in Sandy Springs, Georgia, with just $1,200 and a clear vision. Over the decades, Rod grew the business into a trusted name, known for its honest service and family-oriented values.

Rod found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved long bike rides, peaceful walks along his favorite beach, and cheering on his beloved Clemson Tigers. Above all, he was most proud of his family. He celebrated their accomplishments with pride and never missed an opportunity to remind others that “family is the most important thing in life.”

Rod’s legacy lives on through his children and grandchildren, many of whom have followed in his footsteps and contributed to the family business.  Through every customer served, every child mentored, and every value passed down, Rod McCullough’s legacy endures — a testament to a life well-lived and a family business built on trust, hard work, and heart.

Windshield damage is more than an eyesore. Damage to your windshield is dangerous to you and everyone else on the road. You may wonder if your vehicle needs windshield repair or windshield replacement. This article will outline the different types of windshield damage and explain how to determine whether you need windshield repair or replacement.

Windshield With Chip Damage

You’re driving down the highway, and the truck in front of you kicks up a rock that loudly hits your windshield, chipping it. It’s alarming at first, but then you realize what happened and where the chip damage is located on your windshield. While things could have been worse, chips can grow into larger problems if left unrepaired. 

When To Repair and When To Replace Chipped Windshield Glass

It’s important to have your windshield repaired soon after the accident. Determining whether we can repair or replace your windshield will depend on the size of the chip. In most cases, we can repair a chipped windshield if the damage is smaller than the circumference of a quarter. To repair chip damage, our technicians will fill the chip in with clear epoxy and let it dry. This will stop the damage from spreading. If the chip damage is larger than the circumference of a quarter, you’ll likely need to replace your windshield. 

We also take into consideration the location of the chip damage. If the damage is located directly within the driver’s line of sight, we may opt to replace the windshield, no matter the size of the damage. This is because the repair process leaves behind a minor distortion in the glass and could impair the driver’s vision.

Windshield With Cracks and Scratches

Sometimes the damage to your windshield is more extensive. A car with a cracked windshield can be more difficult to drive, have an increased safety risk, and may also be illegal to operate. Cracks in the windshield are also more likely to spread if they are located near the perimeter.  

When To Repair and When To Replace Cracked Windshield Glass

In most cases, we can repair a cracked windshield if the crack is shorter than 3 inches. If the crack is larger than 3 inches, we may need to replace the entire windshield

Reasons Not To Wait To Fix A Damaged Windshield

1 – Safety

A crack or chip will negatively impact the structural integrity of your windshield. The purpose of the windshield is to protect the driver from normal debris and also during a collision. If your windshield is compromised from existing damage, it may be more likely to shatter upon impact.

2 – Waiting May Make The Damage Worse

Vibrations from everyday driving can cause cracks and chips on your windshield to spread. We can quickly repair small blemishes. However, if the damage grows, we may need to replace the entire windshield. 

3 – Your Insurance May Cover It

Check your insurance policy to see if it will cover the cost of your windshield repair or replacement.
