Car Windshield Repair and Replacement in Lincoln

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.

Car Windshield Repair Process

Glass Doctor of Lincoln follows detailed steps to ensure a safe and efficient windshield repair.

Glass Doctor recommends repair over replacement because:

  1. Clean the affected area to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Create a passageway for the repair resin.
  3. Inject the repair resin into the damage area and allow it to cure.
  4. Polish the resin so it leaves a clear finish.

Benefits of Car Windshield Repair

Whenever possible, Glass Doctor of Lincoln recommends repairs over windshield replacements. Windshield repairs are a cost-effective alternative that prevents small chips or cracks from becoming safety hazards.

Additional benefits of windshield repairs include:

  • Safety: Windshield repair maintains the vehicle’s structural integrity and keeps occupants safer in a collision.

  • Cost Effectiveness: Repairing a windshield is far less expensive than replacing it.

  • Insurance Assistance: Your insurance company may cover the cost of a windshield repair and waive the deductible.

  • Customer Convenience: Glass Doctor of Lincoln schedules repairs around your schedule. In general, repairs take less than an hour to complete. If your insurance policy covers the repair, our service professionals will take care of the claim for you.

  • Eco-Friendly Alternative: Windshields are difficult to recycle. When you repair yours, you keep it out of a landfill and reduce the demand for raw materials.

Car Windshield Replacement Process

A car's windshield is important for a vehicle's structure in rollover accidents, says the Auto Glass Safety Council™. Glass Doctor of Lincoln advises fixing or replacing a damaged windshield quickly, no matter how small the chip or crack is.

Addressing any issues with your windshield as soon as possible is important. Even a small chip or crack can lead to further damage if left untreated. Taking immediate action will help prevent the problem from worsening and ensure your safety on the road.

To ensure a quality windshield replacement, our service professionals follow a step-by-step process.

  1. Remove the windshield without damaging the bonding surface.
  2. Select a windshield that matches the vehicle’s Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) or quality.
  3. Selected an appropriate Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) approved adhesive.
  4. Install the new windshield according to AGSC standards.
  5. Allow the adhesive to cure for 60 minutes so the windshield seals properly.

    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.

    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.
