A combination of modern technology and a skilled windshield repair tech to restore stone damaged areas on a windshield using special clear adhesive resin. When done properly, the previously damaged area’s strength is restored as is most of the clarity.

Long Crack Repair up to 24″

Some shops only do rock chip repairs & then they learned how to repair long cracks up to around 24″ but they don’t hold a Auto Repair licence to replace glass or do they want to pay sales tax because all they are doing is Labor. Their claim is that other shops that replace windshields only do repairs to be able to perform a crappy repair and hope to get a replacement job out of it.

What Would You Rather Have?

A company that charges you around $79.00 –$120.00 to perform a long crack repair, then  leave you with a blur were the crack was and come to find out the following week that a different crack shows up on the other side because your Windshield is pitted.

Or a company that does both repairs and replacements, with the repair prices are only $50.00 for up to the size of a silver dollar & Windshield replacements are only around $150.00 complete with mobile service, so don’t risk paying $80.00 for a blur crack then pay again 2 months later for another repair because your windshield is badly pitted or if its to big replace it anyway.

OK!  So when it comes to Warranty.

Repair only shops give you the money back ONLY if the repair failed, most of the time the repair won’t fail because its the same resin used for small repairs so your left with a beautiful blur crack you can look through until you replace it. Full service auto glass shops offer to put the money towards a new windshield because repairs can not be repaired twice so it will need to be replaced.

Regardless of the severity of the windshield, you’ll want to find a quality auto glass replacement and repair company. While some companies specialize in crack repair, others perform repairs and windshield replacements. Since there’s a risk that a windshield crack repair could fail, it makes sense to start with a company that does repairs first and then replaces windshields only if the crack is to large or unsafe.

Insurance Cover Rock Chip Repairs

Worried about the cost? It’s less expensive to repair a cracked windshield than it is to replace it which is why many insurance companies go ahead and waive the deductible for windshield repairs up to the size of a quarter and not in the drivers view. If your car qualifies for a windshield repair, call your insurance company to find out if this is an option. The windshield replacement may also be covered, depending on your comprehensive insurance and deductible is less than the replacement amount.

The next time you’re driving down the road and you hear the telltale crack! sound, take a deep breath and assess the windshield damage. Based on the severity of the damage, you may be able to continue on to safety where you can call for professional help.
