Windshield damage feels like a nuisance, but can be a threat to your safety. The question becomes whether a repair or replacement is the best course of action. While it's normal to want to avoid a costly service, keeping your car structurally sound should always be a priority. Glass Doctor® of Brevard County makes the repair and replacement process easy. Our team of glass experts will help you find out if your service is covered by insurance, and will consider several factors to make sure you get the right windshield solution. We'll look at:
Size: While there may be a rare exception, typically cracks larger than three inches or chips bigger than 3/8 inch will require a windshield replacement.
Location: The location of cracks and chips make a difference. Anything that's spider-webbed toward the edges of your windshield, or that affects visibility will most likely result in a replacement.
Timing: If you've left a chip or crack too long it may result in a replacement. The longer damage goes unaddressed, the more risk of dirt and build up, which can compromise your windshield further.
Glass Doctor of Brevard County will always work to secure you the most affordable solution, but we'll never compromise your safety or that of your occupants. We also work with the majority of insurance carriers, and can assist you in filing a claim for windshield services.
