If your vehicle has a damaged windshield, you might be wondering if repair or replacement is necessary. Though Glass Doctor® of Goshen can repair most chipped windshields, cracks longer than three inches typically indicate the need for an immediate windshield replacement to protect the structural integrity of your vehicle and keep it safe for you and your passengers.

Let Us Call You
We work with most insurance carriers and will handle the claim for you. You should contact your local agent to verify coverage before having your windshield repaired or replaced.
Don’t let windshield damage threaten the safety of your family. Our specialists will handle all of your windshield repair and replacement needs.
When deciding if your windshield should be repaired or replaced, the specialists at Glass Doctor of Goshen consider several factors.
-
Size: There are some exceptions, but chips larger than 3/8 inch and cracks longer than three inches long usually require a windshield replacement.
-
Location of Damage: If a crack has splintered to the edge of a windshield, replacement is typically required to prevent spread. Chips or cracks that interfere with your direct line of vision also require replacement.
-
Timespan: The longer a chip or crack goes unaddressed, the more likely dirt and grime buildup will hinder a successful repair.
Windshield Repair
Windshield repair offers a less expensive alternative and can stop chips and cracks from spreading. Glass Doctor of Goshen may recommend replacement over the repair for these reasons:
- Convenience: Most windshield repairs can be completed within an hour.
- Price: Windshield repair provides a low-cost alternative to full windshield replacement.
- Insurance Advantages: Because of the economical advantage of repair vs. replacement, many insurance companies will waive deductibles to pay for your windshield repair.
- Environmental Responsibility: Repairing your windshield keeps old glass out of landfills.
Our team will prepare your windshield by removing debris from the area of impact and may use a drill to create a clean passageway for the repair of resin. This resin is then injected into the damaged area using a special tool that attaches to the surface of the glass. The resin is cured and polished after injection to a clear finish.

Paul O.5/5 -
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.
Amanda S.5/5 -
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.
