Glass Repair
Would you replace your car door because of a parking lot ding? No. Then why would you replace your windshield because of a stone chip? Many small dings and cracks can be repaired in as little as 30 minutes, leaving your factory installed windshield in place! WHENEVER POSSIBLE, A WINDSHIELD REPAIR IS THE BEST OPTION.
Why Repair Instead of Replace?
- SAFETY – Your original windshield is a vital safety component. A properly installed windshield helps airbags deploy in an accident while keeping you and your passengers in the vehicle.
- CONVENIENCE – Repairs usually take less time than replacements because the windshield is not removed. Since the original factory seal is not broken, there are fewer wind, water and rust problems.
- TECHNOLOGY – Modern windshields may contain electronics such as antennas and rain sensors. To avoid potential problems, it always makes sense to keep the original windshield in your car.
- ENVIRONMENT – Most windshields are not recycled. Repairs are environmentally friendly because your windshield does not end up in a landfill.
Small windshield star breaks, bulls-eyes and cracks less than 6 inches can often be repaired by injecting a special resin into the damage and curing it under ultraviolet light.
This process bonds any loose glass and prevents the damage from spreading. If your windshield damage is small and looks like this, there is a good chance it should be repaired.
A Few Simple Steps Can Help Save Your Windshield:
- REPORT ANY GLASS DAMAGE as soon as possible, no matter how small. Cold weather and normal vehicle operation can cause the damage to spread quickly making a repair impossible.
- PICK A WINDSHIELD REPAIR EXPERT to fix the glass damage. Not all glass technicians are trained to repair windshields. Make sure you choose a glass shop that has trained windshield repair experts on staff.
