Windshield Care
Our specialists will come to you and evaluate your windshield’s damage to determine if a safe, lasting repair is possible. We use the following criteria to decide if windshield repair or replacement is the best course of action:
- Size: Generally, the smaller the damage, the greater the chance a repair is possible.
- Location: If a crack has reached the edge of your windshield, a replacement will probably be needed since it’s likely to continue to spread. Since repairs sometimes don’t cure completely clearly, damage interfering with the driver’s field of vision also necessitates a replacement.
- Duration: If you delay in having a crack or chip repaired, dirt and other debris will build up in the damaged area, reducing the possibility of a successful repair.

When a repair is possible, that’s the option our specialists recommend. Service benefits include:
- Savings: Repairing a chip or crack is less expensive than replacing the entire windshield. In fact, many insurer companies will waive your deductible.
- Convenience: Our specialists usually complete repairs in under an hour.
- Environmentally friendly: A repair lets your windshield stay out of the landfill.
When our specialists repair your windshield, they’ll take the following steps:
- Removing debris from the crack or chip so the resin will be able to cling to the site.
- Injecting the resin into the chip or crack.
- Letting the resin cure so your windshield’s strength is restored.
- Polishing your windshield to a clear finish
