If your vehicle has suffered windshield damage, it can be difficult to decide whether windshield repair or replacement is the better option. It is understandably tempting to take a "better safe than sorry" attitude and have the whole windshield replaced, but this is not always necessary or appropriate.
Experts at Glass Doctor® of Columbia, SC will help you make the right decision.
Our specialists are expertly trained in deducing the extent of damage to a vehicle's windshield, and will offer the best professional advice and support. While taking into account the characteristics of each particular vehicle, Glass Doctor of Columbia, SC considers three factors when determining whether to repair or replace windshields:
Size: Any chips deeper than 3/8-inch or that span more than three inches long are often too severe to be repaired.
Location: Cracks around the edges of windshields or in the driver's line of sight are often too risky for repair.
Timespan: If windshield damage is left unattended, dirt and debris can build up to prevent a successful repair.
