WINDSHIELD REPAIR FAQS
How Long Does It Take to Repair a Windshield?
Most minor chip and crack repairs can be completed in 30 minutes or less. We complete every windshield repair quickly, with a focus on precision to ensure the repair is effective. Our technicians can give you a more specific time estimate for your individual service.
How Does Windshield Repair Work?
Our certified auto glass technicians assess the damage to determine if it can be repaired. If it can, they will inject a special resin to fill the chip or crack using specific equipment to remove any air. Once the resin is cured with a UV light, the excess resin is carefully scraped off, and the repair is finished with polishing to restore clarity.
Can All Windshield Rock Chips and Cracks Be Repaired?
Most smaller cracks and chips can be repaired; however, cracks longer than a dollar bill or chips larger than a quarter may require a replacement. Additionally, damage on the edge of your windshield or within your line of sight may result in a replacement. Our auto glass technicians will always recommend the safest solution, and we will repair damage whenever possible.
Will Windshield Damage Spread?
Yes, windshield damage can spread quickly. Rock chips and cracks are more likely to worsen in extreme weather conditions. Harsh treatment, such as slamming doors, can also increase the risk of damage spreading. That’s why it is important to get your windshield repaired as soon as possible after damage occurs to avoid a more costly replacement.
Does Insurance Cover Windshield Rock Chip Repair?
Many comprehensive insurance plans, especially those with specific glass coverage, often cover windshield repairs. Sometimes providers will even waive your deductible. We can work with your provider to get your claim filed and your windshield repair approved.
Can I Repair My Own Windshield?
While DIY windshield repair is possible through repair kits, it is not recommended. Proper windshield repair requires special equipment, specific materials, and precise techniques. Certified auto glass technicians go through extensive training and real-life experience to master this process. To ensure an effective repair that doesn’t worsen damage, it’s best to hire a professional.
What If I Need a Windshield Replacement Instead of Repair?
If your windshield damage cannot be safely repaired, we offer high-quality glass options to ensure a tight fit, lasting durability, and crystal-clear visibility. With strong adhesives and proven installation techniques, we will ensure your new windshield keeps you safe on the road. Windshield replacements usually take longer to complete and tend to cost more, but comprehensive insurance plans often cover windshield replacement as well.
Do I Have to Bring My Car into the Shop to Get My Windshield Repaired?
No, we provide both in-shop and mobile windshield repair. Our technicians arrive at your location with the necessary equipment and materials. You will receive the same high-quality repair as we provide in-shop.
