Glass Doctor Windshield Protection Plan

Windshield Repair

In some cases, your windshield may be safely repaired. If order to determine if this can be safely done, Glass Doctor of Andalusia, AL will take into account the following factors:

  • The size of the damage

Generally, cracks longer than three inches and chips larger than 3/8 inch can’t be effectively and safely repaired.

  • The location of the damage

If a crack or chip is in your field of vision, your windshield probably needs to be replaced. That’s because the area may be slightly blurry after the resin cures, continuing to obscure your vision. In addition, cracks that intersect multiple edges of your windshield or have started to spread along the edge often necessitate a replacement.

  • The length of time the damage has existed

Over time, dirt and other debris will work its way into the crack or chip. This makes a safe, effective seal more difficult, so a replacement is often recommended.

If a repair is possible, it offers the following advantages:

  • Speed: It’s faster than a full replacement. Our windshield repair specialists usually do the work in less than an hour.
  • Cost: It’s generally cheaper and is often covered by insurance.
  • Environmentally-friendly: Your windshield stays on your car and out of the landfill.

If a windshield repair is possible, our specialists will take the following steps to ensure a clear, safe fix:

  • We’ll remove dirt and debris from the damaged area.
  • We’ll inject a special resin into the crack or chip.
  • The resin is cured and the area is polished. The damaged area will now be strong, smooth and clear. Your windshield wipers will be able to easily glide over the repair.

    I had a break-in at a business so I called the Glass Doctor. They were very nice and were able to get out to me first thing that morning and replace the glass in a very timely manner. The glass door looks great. I would recommend them to anyone.

    We just had Glass Doctor fix our panes, 8 in our house. They do beautiful professional work. I recommend them to everyone. Our windows were 3 panes thick and the seals broke. There was steam in between the glass and it looked chalky.
