Windshield Repair and Replacement

You know a windshield chip could spider-out to a big problem that can’t be repaired. If you’ve suffered windshield damage, get in touch with Glass Doctor^® of Grand Blanc, MI, and we’ll assess the damage at no charge.

Whenever possible, we strive to restore your windshield with windshield crack repair, not a replacement. It’s the right choice for your wallet and Michigan’s landfills. When we assess your damage, we look for:

• Size: If the chip is larger than 3/8 inch or the crack is longer than three inches, that’s an indicator windshield replacement, not repair, will be necessary.
• Location: If a crack has already splintered to your windshield’s edge, replacement is almost a necessity. Remember, there are lines and antennas integrated into your vehicle’s windshield that should not be compromised.
• How long the damage existed: The longer you wait, the more likely it is you’ll need windshield replacement, not repair.

There’s just no sense putting you and your passengers at risk; a windshield crack threatens your safety and the integrity of your vehicle’s construction. Glass Doctor of Grand Blanc, MI, professionals have the expertise to quickly evaluate what’s best for your vehicle glass.
