Windshield cracks and chips are more than just cosmetic blemishes. A cracked or chipped windshield is a potentially fatal hazard in an auto collision. Glass Doctor® of Lincoln recommends a windshield repair or replacement service as soon as you notice a chip or crack.
Glass Doctor of Lincoln's service professionals assess your car to decide if it requires a windshield repair or replacement. They consider the following factors.
Age of damage: Cracks and chips accumulate dirt with time. If the amount of dirt reduces a repair’s overall success, a glass service professional may recommend a replacement.
The imperfection’s location: Glass service professionals often replace windshields when chips are in your line of sight or cracks are near the glass’ edge.
The blemish’s size: In general, service professionals replace windshields when cracks are longer than three inches or chips are 3/8-inch or larger.
Many major auto insurance carriers cover windshield repairs and replacements. Glass Doctor of Lincoln recommends that you speak to your insurance agent to learn more about your coverage. If you do have windshield coverage, our team will file the insurance paperwork for you.
