You should never gamble with your life, but when you drive without an intact windshield, you do exactly that. Windshields protect your car and passengers during rollover and collision accidents, which is why you should address chips and cracks in the glass as soon as you find them. Glass Doctor® of The Gold Country offers quick, affordable windshield repair and replacement service. We follow all of the Auto Glass Safety Council's standards to the letter, and cover all new windshields we install with a year-long windshield replacement guarantee. We also calibrate your Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to ensure your safety features are functioning properly.
To decide what form of assistance you need, there are a few important factors to take into consideration. Keep in mind these are general guidelines and your precise needs are individual:
Size: If your crack is less than three inches long or your chip is under 3/8 of an inch in circumference, you may be eligible for a windshield repair instead of a replacement.
Location: If your crack or chip is in your line of vision as you are driving, you will be more likely to be a candidate for windshield replacement. Since windshield repair is not a flawless procedure and may leave slight evidence of prior damage behind, damage to the driver's vision pane will usually require windshield replacement. In addition, if your crack or chip is on the very edge of your windshield then your windshield may also need to be replaced. These are more likely to impact structural integrity causing more damage.
Timespan: When it comes to chips, cracks and other windshield damage, time is of the essence. These injuries to your panes spread, so the sooner you contact the team at Glass Doctor of The Gold Country, the less damage you'll be confronting.
