How do I know if my windshield needs to be replaced instead of repaired?

While small chips and cracks can often be repaired, a full windshield replacement is sometimes necessary. If you have a crack longer than a dollar bill or a chip larger than a nickel, it’s time for a replacement. Immediate replacement is also crucial for any damage directly in your line of sight while driving, as this poses a significant safety risk. Cracks at the edges of the windshield are particularly problematic as they compromise the overall structural integrity. Additionally, if you have multiple intersecting chips or cracks, repairs typically aren't a long-term solution, making replacement the more advisable option.

Will my insurance cover the cost of a windshield replacement in Carroll?

Many comprehensive auto insurance policies cover windshield replacement, although terms and conditions vary by provider. A deductible may apply, but some insurers waive it for safety-related glass, and may even offer specialized glass coverage to reduce or eliminate deductibles. We handle the entire claim process directly with all major insurance companies, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you.
