Repairing vs. Replacing Your Windshield

Our experts assess your windshield to determine if a repair or replacement is necessary. We will always choose the safest and most cost-effective option for your vehicle. Whether you have a minor windshield chip that needs repair or extensive damage that requires replacement, we've got you covered.

Here are some criteria our service pros use to determine whether you need a windshield repair or replacement:

  • Windshield chips bigger than 25mm in diameter need a full windshield replacement.

  • Windshield cracks cannot be safely repaired and warrant a replacement.

  • Any chips located on the driver's side cannot be safely repaired and will likely require replacement.

Windshield Replacement

Although Fort Washington is a safe, family-friendly area that is not known for its high rate of car collisions, accidents still occur. It’s essential for residents to remain cautious in order to promote safety in the area. We are dedicated to protecting residents on the road via efficient windshield replacement services.

We provide two types of protection during windshield installation: the Windshield Protection Plan and the Limited Windshield Warranty.

The Windshield Protection Plan:

  • Covers glass damage for 12 months from your windshield installation date — damages from collisions, vandalism, fraud, and acts of God are excluded
  • Includes unlimited repairs or a one-time replacement to your windshield — labor is excluded
  • Covers the cost of glass should you need a replacement

The Limited Warranty Plan:

  • Offers a lifetime warranty against leakage
  • Accounts for any workmanship errors or manufacturing defects
  • Covers the labor involved in resealing the leak in your windshield. If we can't reseal it, we'll replace it

    I had a break-in at a business so I called the Glass Doctor. They were very nice and were able to get out to me first thing that morning and replace the glass in a very timely manner. The glass door looks great. I would recommend them to anyone.

    We just had Glass Doctor fix our panes, 8 in our house. They do beautiful professional work. I recommend them to everyone. Our windows were 3 panes thick and the seals broke. There was steam in between the glass and it looked chalky.

FAQs about Windshield Repair and Replacement

  • Replacements are usually better than repairs when it comes to a cracked windshield. The primary reason for replacing a cracked windshield is its impact on the structural integrity of the vehicle. Even minor cracks can weaken the windshield, making it susceptible to further damage. This compromises the overall safety of the vehicle and its occupants.

    Attempting to repair a windshield crack rather than replace it is dangerous, as it can give you and your passengers a false sense of safety. Even if a crack appears to be repaired, it may still negatively affect your vehicle. Below are more associated risks to consider:

    1. Extensive damage:

    Windshield cracks spread rapidly due to various factors, such as temperature changes, vibrations, and road conditions. Attempting to fix a cracked windshield without replacing it can often lead to the crack expanding, necessitating a replacement.

    2. Impaired visibility:

    A cracked windshield can significantly impair driving visibility, posing a serious risk to the driver and other motorists. The distortion caused by the crack can make it challenging to accurately judge distances and objects, increasing the likelihood of accidents.

    3. Violation of legal requirements:

    In many jurisdictions, cracked windshields are subject to strict regulations. Police officers may issue citations or fines if a cracked windshield obstructs the driver's view or compromises the vehicle's safety standards. To comply with the law, it’s essential to replace a cracked windshield.

    4. Malfunctioning advanced safety features:

    Modern vehicles are equipped with advanced safety technologies, including sensors and cameras integrated into the windshield. These features may not function optimally if the windshield is cracked.

    In conclusion, a cracked windshield cannot be fixed without replacing it due to its impact on structural integrity, compromised visibility, legal requirements, and the emergence of more significant cracks. Utilizing a professional windshield replacement service is crucial to ensure your vehicle’s safety and functionality.
