Damage to your windshield can occur anytime, from rock chip damage to vehicular accidents. When damage does occur, you must get your vehicle serviced immediately. Glass Doctor® of the Gulf Coast in Long Beach will check your car and quickly determine if your windshield needs to be repaired or replaced.
With a few exceptions, we can repair all minor chips or cracks. By going through a checklist of important considerations regarding the damage, our team of auto service professionals can determine what your options are:
Size: Large cracks extending over 3 inches and large chips bigger than 3/8 inches are usually difficult to repair.
Location: Locations play a significant role in determining the best solution for your vehicle. For example, cracks fractured to the edge of your windshield can spread so replacement will be necessary. Minor damage in the driver's direct line of sight will also require replacement, as the repair resin often will leave a minor outline in the damaged area.
Timespan: Contact us as soon as you discover the damage. Continued use of your vehicle will allow dirt and debris to make a windshield repair increasingly problematic. Leave the damage long enough, and a repair will be impossible.
