Windshield Repair and Replacement

Glass Doctor of Fort Lauderdale offers quick, high-quality repairs at non-budget busting prices. Plus, most insurance companies will cover the cost of a windshield repair without collecting a deductible. Industry experts suggest up to 75% of windshield damage can be repaired rather than replaced if the damage is dealt with swiftly. There are four main factors that our specialists use to determine if a windshield is repairable:

• Location. Any damage that is in the driver's line of vision usually calls for a replacement. Cracks and large chips that are too close to the edge of the glass tend to spread and often require replacement as well.
• Fixtures. Some windshields have radio antennas and other sensors embedded into the glass. If the damage is over any of these fixtures, the glass usually must be replaced.
• Size. In most circumstances, cracks less than three inches and chips that are less than 3/8 inch, approximately the size of a dime, are good candidates for repair.
• Age. If you bring your windshield in immediately after damage occurs, it is more likely to be successfully repaired. The longer you wait, the more likely you'll face replacing the glass entirely. Dirt and debris settle into chips and cracks and compound the damage or prevent a successful windshield repair.

Once we determine that your windshield is repairable, a Glass Doctor of Fort Lauderdale specialist will clean the damaged area and apply a special resin to the crack or chip. Once this resin has cured, the glass is buffed to a clear finish.

Your windshield plays an important role when it comes to the safety of the passengers in the vehicle, especially in the event of an accident. All Glass Doctor of Fort Lauderdale specialists strictly follow Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS^®) guidelines to ensure your replacement is safe.
